You have eloquently put into words all of the things I have been thinking but couldn't express so fully. 0bamaCare is a very big runaway freight train and cannot be stopped from crashing spectacularly by either Republicans or Dems or both together. By its own design it directly affects nearly every person and every business in the nation so its unfolding consequences cannot be ignored, hidden or spun away with shallow sophistry.

For that reason I contest one point you made and one point only. Conservatives won't have to keep things stirred up for the inevitable backlash to occur. Which is not to say that we shouldn't capitalize on it politically as much as possible.

Well, that's not a bad way to put it either!!! I just went a bit further into the "why's" part of it. :-)

As for the need(?) to keep the spotlight on Obama and the Dems' role in all this, you may be right. I really hope so! However, I have GREAT respect (fear?) of the Dems' ability to duck, weave, lie, shift blame, and, if need be, throw Obama under the bus, absolving the greater part of the Party from blame. Ie., "this implementation is not what we voted for!" This worries me because they have the media on their side, as well as a sizeable chunk of the populace who would still believe (almost like a religion) they would be benefitted by a "done right" ObamaCare, at least initially. Granted, that might wear off if enough of this group had their identities stolen, lose their jobs, etc., but, then again, that group for the most part would not be the targets an identity thief would go after, or they don't have jobs.

Then there is another powerful group who simply want the (additional) power and consequences be damned.

But I digress. I agree with you about the uproar; what Conservatives need to do, IMO, is make sure the blame goes to the deserving: every last blankety-blank one of them.
