Considering what a debacle Obamacare ended up being, it would have been nice if ALL Republicans stood together on principle instead of backstabbing The Principled. If you look at the facts, Lee and Cruz were correct in demanding a delay if not an outright take down of Obamacare. It was Obama’s stubbornness that caused the shutdown. He could have agreed to a 1 year delay and all would have been better off. Obama ended up doing much of what Cruz/Lee asked for. How many unlawful changes has Obama made to His Law? You know the so called Law of the Land on October 1, 2013 and Obama’s Law before and thereafter? Instead Boehner, McConnell, Senator Whack-a-Doodle, Sowell, Charen, Coulter, etc. sided with darkness and the unprincipled (the GOP-e complained about tactics instead of focusing like a laser on Obamacare for weeks on end both before and after the shutdown thereby back stabbing The Principled). Since the Cave In on the Debt Ceiling, our GOP-e passed the $1 Trillion farm bill not to mention how our side screwed the Military in Ryan's Budget. I side with Cruz/Lee and am disappointed with Sowell.

The probable cancellation of insurance for 10’s of millions of people (individual and employer) was known by the Senate, the House and MSM since June 17, 2010. The GOP-e (including Sowell, Charen, Coulter, etc. ) should have been screaming about this from the rooftops each and every day. But no, they attack Cruz and Lee instead.

RE :”If you look at the facts, Lee and Cruz were correct in demanding a delay if not an outright take down of Obamacare. “

If you look at ‘the facts’ Cruz launched his many hour Senate floor speech calling for complete defunding of Obamacare, then called on the Senate GOP to vote against the House GOP CR bill which defunded Obamacare, because Reid was going to modify it to remove the defunding parts.

That followed Cruz in those defund Obamacare commercials that were played over and over on cable TV.

But there was one large flaw that made Obama winning a certainty: Obama care funding was exempt from a shutdown.
The government shut down and Obamacare stayed funded.

That ‘delay’ claim is just talk radio rewriting history. It came up after Reid passed the CR to the House.
