amazing. Fearless and tireless.

An actual Senator who refuses to compromise on his core values and who will not bend with the majority in order to pass something he knows is wrong. Who would have thought?

I also believe Cruz is making the GOP Establishment
self identify in their SUPPORT of Obamacare...
Keep attacking him RINOs...we dare you!

The first thing you do is make it very cleat that you have made concessions, that you expect him to make concessions, and that you know the difference between negotiation and capitulation. Then go about your business until he makes a move. No deal is better that a bad deal.

“What medical questions do you need to enter into the Obamacare website in order to register?”

That printed statement says ANY personal information you enter is not protected, so that would include SS number, address, amount of money you make to see if you can get a subsidy from the feds, etc.. At some point, your medical information will also be there.

The GOP made concessions, the Democrats ignored them. The GOP passed compromises, the Democrats defeated them. The GOP drew a line in the sand, the Democrats stepped over it. Then the Democrats made it perfectly clear that they would allow the country to shut down completely without funding, and the GOP gave up. Like I said, how do you negotiate with someone not open to negotiation?

I have Sen. *itch "Mumbles" McConnell as my (present) Senator...
of course; Ky hopes to have nominated a New GOP Sen. Candidate in May, '14

and send Usama's "*itch" McConnell, into retirement.

None of which is covered by HIPPA. That prevents any medical information from being available. And the only way the site can do that is if it prompts you to enter it. Does it?

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

Inspite of the Daily ObozoScamScare Trainwrecks, the ObozoScamScare Outhouse Band continues to play on:

Meanwhile, McCain is out bashing the conservative arm of the Party thinking he’ll get media support for attacking the GOP. A strategy he tried before.

Were the conservatives set up? Somehow I can’t believe key members of both the executive and the senate on the demo-com side didn’t know kow how bad things were going to get with that so called website and all the machinations that went with it . And that information was with-held from the Republicans. So that the stupid Republican GOPES {gop elite snobs} would order the circular firing squad to form up and fire away inward at their base .

Besides setting the system up to fail and lead to a one payer system which is worth mentioning here but not digressing to dicuss in detail. If that was known Lee and Cruz stance would have worked and you wouldn’t have people like Kudlow,and Praeger, offering their both sides of their mouth support as well Johnson singing their praises.

GOP does not know how to negotiate.

Probably because 99% of them can be bribed and blackmailed.

The GOP isn't fighting back against Zerocare or the democRATs, at all. They want to be part of the power grab when it's "their turn" in the WH. Their inactions are telling.

EXACTLY!! Why aren't the GOP *leaders* out 24/7 demanding this debacle be shut down?? Not only are the wheels falling off, but 0's considering to tyrannically delay this *law of the land* that he already un-Constitutionally deemed changed (from it's originally passed version).

The Pubs aren't demanding Repeal, because they're IN ON THE DEAL!!

Perhaps.

Hopefully.

Prayerfully.

They didn’t wait for the other guy to make a move, which he would have eventually. They weren’t trying to negotiate, they were just begging.

I don't know that they would have. The sat there knowing that the GOP would bling first, and they were right.
