I don’t agree a Republican is a RINO/GOPe if they don’t agree with the defunding approach. I think some of them want Obamacare eliminated as bad as the rest of us. Listen to what they’re saying. They think there’s a significant risk of losing the next election if we give the media the chance to play the evil Republican meme again. Do I think they’re right? No, but it’s something to consider.

I’m simply saying a RINO/GOPe is someone who supports Obamacare or simply wants to fine tune it a bit. Obamacare is an abomination. In a free country, the government simply has no right to tell any of us what to do with privately funded health care (they do have the right to control health care that’s paid for with government $$$). A person isn’t a RINO/GOPe if they despise Obamacare but want to use a different approach to eliminate it.

We can’t continue to keep making enemies of every last person who disagrees with us. An 80% friend is our friend, so long as it’s truly 80% agreement.

The problem with your reasoning, to me anyway, is that these so called conservatives that believe 0care is an abomination and complain about losing the upcoming elections...is that they're not offering any other solutions. Or, at least none that I've heard them say.

Rep Renee Ellmers (R-NC) is one of the Reps who says she's against the Heritage Foundation's push to defund 0Care, but, she admits she doesn't have an alternative way to do away with it.

Really?
