Keep your decorum. Ryan’s making the correct move here. It’s time to pivot, take another cut at government and move on.
We’re not going to get rid of Obamacare this go round and we’re better off letting people learn to hate it all the way.
-——We’re not going to get rid of Obamacare this go round -—
You are correct.
The Tea Party demand was heard, analyzed, and acted on. As about everybody that truly understood reckoned, it was rejected and not acted on by the Senate. The Obamacare funding bill is for the time being dead
To oppose the House leadership for gearing up for the next assault is truly foolish. The battles are being waged.
The outcome is uncertain but since the rejection, obamacare is falling apart and is a terrible blow to the DNC ability to fight on so many fronts. While total victory is unlikely in the immediate future, the tide has changed
I would have to concur with this. I think the problem with Ryan is that he is a politician first and foremost so he has to concern himself with PR relations and public opinion and he, I presume, did not get the public opinion on his side in this.
I still consider this a letdown of sorts, but I can understand where Ryan is coming from. The Tea party might need to win a majority in the House and Senate before they can get achieve all of their political goals. Not saying this makes Ryan particularly reliable, as he has show himself to be yet another career politician, but I think some level of realistic assessment is needed.
If the Tea Party starts relying on politicians of any kind to do their heavy lifting for them, this is not even scratching the surface as far as the letdowns and heartbreaks they will have to endure.
