What an odious piece of garbage. Today's Politico, in an article by Todd Purdum, accuses Republicans of "calculated sabotage" of Obamacare, comparing their opposition to the "pattern of 'massive resistance' not seen since the Southern states defiance of the Supreme Courts Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954."
Purdum himself seems to recognize just how loony he comes off, writing "[t]hat may sound like a left-wing conspiracy theory . . . But there is a strong factual basis for such a charge." Sabotage, really? People who understand democracy would call it entirely legitimate opposition to a philosophy and a program that millions of Americans believe undermine what this country should be about.

Riiiiight..And Ted Cruz designed the Obamacare web site.
Dick, I’m Marky Mark, AKA governsleast, AKA the NewsBusters guy who wrote the item exposing the Politico article. The Politico article was written by Todd Purdum.
This is the dork that Dee Dee Myers married probably when she was sloshed.
Sabotage? I agree. I think probably what happened is that the conservative programmers amongst the population of technologists employed by the Obamacare enrollment web site contractors managed to insert deliberately faulty code to wreck the whole thing. No other explanation is possible. “Wreckers” are behind the failure of oBamKare!
CGI’s badly written program is the Republicans’ fault? Why? Because Republicans are the working taxpayers who paid millions to Michelle’s friends at CGI for the failed program?
The left is completely unhinged, bat poop crazy bars in the windows nuts!
Each passing day makes me more comfortable in proclaiming that as truth...
Mea culpa. Sorry.

“the GOP is too busy sabotaging the Tea Party to worry about sabotaging anything else”
Very true. The GOP doesn’t want to lose their ObamaCare exemptions and other perks. The Tea Party wing threatens that. That’s why the GOP considers the Tea party a greate threat than the Democrats
Well then, let's hear it.
Yeah, Republicans forced Obama to blow over $600 million on obsolete 10-year old software from a company who had been fired by the Canadian government for ineptitude.
The important take away here is that rampaging Alinskyite Dems NEVER, ever stop pumping their bilge. The GOPe on the other hand, is happy to keep their cocktail party invites and tip toe to the next election.
Boehner, McConnell, et. al. have no action plan at all to engage the Dems regarding Democratcare. Probably because they and their big donors are happy to let the Dems install socialized medicine. Main Street is SOL.

Passive aggressive sabotage?
Hey Smartypants Politico:
You call yourselves political analysts, and you couldn’t predict this consequence of cramming Obamacare through Congress without a single Republican vote?
Lemme give you a clue: Americans don’t obey laws they disagree with. History is filled with examples.
* The Whisky Rebellion occurred in response to the Alcohol Tax under George Washington. Farmers tarred and feathered alcohol tax collectors. When Washington sent an army to quell the rebellion, the whisky makers simply moved to Kentucky and Tennessee.
* Citizens in the North refused to obey the Fugitive Slave Act
* People refused to obey Alcohol Prohibition so massively that they had to repeal it.
* Americans buy drugs and black market cigarettes
* When Judges imposed bussing to eliminate segregated schools (segregated due to segregated neighborhoods), people moved to the suburbs.
Given this history, you pinhead statists couldn’t predict that there would be massive resistance? Calling it racist only strengthens the resistance.
