Calls to Delay Obamacare Mandate Divide Democrats
ABC News ^ | October 23, 2013 | by John Parkinson

Posted on 10/23/2013 3:27:13 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

In a speech on the House floor Wednesday, Rep. John Barrow, a Blue Dog Democrat from Georgia, called on the president to delay implementation of the law’s individual mandate, which is set to be enforced Jan. 1.

Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., who like Shaheen is up for re-election in 2014, announced his support for the New Hampshire senator’s call to extend open enrollment in the exchanges and asked the administration to clarify how it would enforce the individual mandate.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., is working on a bill that would delay the $95 individual mandate penalty, a spokesman for Manchin said Wednesday.

Screw 'em. The house passed a bill to delay Obamacare and Harry Reid said go fornicate yourself.

Payback is a (blank).

Delay? The House offered delay and you called them “terrorists”, said they “strapped bombs on their chest”, and numerous other outrageous insults.

NO DELAY. YOU WANTED IT THIS WAY, YOU GOT IT THIS WAY. OWN IT.

These are the WHORES responsible for the shutdown. Congress should demand delay AND defund unless/until jobless rate AND participation rates hit reasonable levels.

Funny how that works innit?

Republicans try to delay it for a year and it becomes a massive attack on American with national parks shut down and veterans met with Barrycades.

Now democrats want to do the exact same thing to save their own asses and should be made to ride this pig all the way to the ground.

Dems had their chance, they spurned it and with the most vile insults and spiteful closures.

Ride this pig? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. IT'S ALL THEIRS. BURN. LET THEM BURN. THEY BUILT IT.

NO QUARTER.

This is now a TRAP!

There are legal cases with Obamacare, which are now before at least 3 different Courts.

I am concerned that any attempt now, by Democrats, to “Delay” Obamacare will really be used to fix LEGAL problems with the existing law, and to nullify the Court Cases concerning the Federal Exchange authority to give tax credits and impose penalties.

Dear 'rats; that ship sailed.

The only thing on the table now is a complete repeal.

They want to delay it till after the midterms so they can recapture the house. I can’t believe the stupid party offered it to them in the first place. I volunteer for speaker. I know I can do a better job than boner.

Excuse me, Mr. Barrow. Don't call on Obama to delay it. He doesn't have the authority.

Why don't you call on your fellow Congressmen to pass a delay bill, and then SEND it to Obama!

Are you saying that Barrow is a “terrorist”? That he should “strap a bomb on his chest”? Are you calling him a racist Teaparter? /s

Let them wallow in what they made.

You have to admit, it is ironic that they're calling on Obama to do unconstitutionally what they refused to do constitutionally.

Now you delay it to January 2015 and in the meantime run commercials against every rat and RINO out there.

They threw out so many vile and outrageous insults, implemented the most spiteful closures... they were so despicable and insistent on their way or the highway... FINE. Let they have it the way they wanted it.

I'm all for it. Let them stew.

That's why I'm perplexed at why Marco Rubio was out in front calling for a delay yesterday. He should have stayed quiet and let Harry Reid get all the attention.

And today, we have Boehner talking about bringing immigration reform back up for debate. Again, why give the Democrats the opportunity to change the subject when they're stewing in their own mess?

It's the stupid party snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again.

Amazing to watch, over and over and over again.

Boehner is running a diversion for the Dems. This guy has GOT to go! What is wrong with the Republicans keeping this a**hole for another minute! How many times do they have to get kicked in the teeth by this jerk.
