GOP candidates show signs of retreat on full Obamacare repeal as midterms approach

Republican candidates have begun to retreat in recent weeks from their all-out assault on the Affordable Care Act in favor of a more piecemeal approach, suggesting they would preserve some aspects of the law while jettisoning others.

I fully agree, the issue will work better than the solution. Remove obamacare (impossible at this tie anyway) and you not only remove a major drag on the Dems but also give ammunition by allowing them to claim healthcare discrimination against the Rep.

Rep should be concentrating on Benghazi, the IRS, the failing economy, the disastrous foreign policy (or lake thereof), and all the other low hangig fruit.

Not according to polling.

Of course I meant the Senate and the Whitehouse. Last time around we concentrated on the White House.

I've been saying all along that we need the whole ball of wax...House, Senate and Whitehouse.

Folks, this is agitprop from the Washington Post. Trying to depress you.

Maybe so, but that does not meant it is not true. I have said all along that the GOPe approves of ACA. Some should go back and look at what Alan Simpson had to say about the Blue Hairs.

Let the RATS embrace the suck of zerocare without our help thru November.

Their base and Indies are being impoverished and un-covered by
zerocare. No further need for us to point this out just to be labeled as racist for doing so.

This ‘beautiful’ law will kill dem chances all by itself.
