-——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
Exactly, you don’t get there in a straight line or via one last final battle. We need to win Congress in 2014. Let that be our goal.
Given Obamacare’s disastrous start and known faults a lot of toss ups are going our way. Find good candidates, support the leaders as they move forward and wring concessions along the way.
Keep in mind that Obama is scared. He’s losing. Sequestration happens again in 2014 without a budget deal. Plus, all his shenanigans keep F&F, Benghazi, IRS targeting, etc. out of the news.
