Shutting down the government could be viewed as having a temper tantrum or crying for righteousness. It will not stop Obamacare, indeed. But a shut down can draw attention to the train wreck of a law, before the LIV get their free stuff.
The Dems are counting on the idea that enough people will get hooked on Monstercare before the Repubs have the power/votes to repeal it.
The idiot repubs screwed themselves when they repealed the O-care provision of reporting purchases over $600 to the IRS. It would have been a pain in the backside for the LIV, just the thing to start the repeal process sooner, but the stupid party struck again. I wondered at that point if the repubs really wanted a repeal.
I would have to agree. I honestly don’t think many repugnant-cans want Obama Care to go away. I think they like socialized medicine because they want the government to oversee and dictate our lives. They can exempt themselves, of course. It’s easy to talk about how “this is not the right thing to do” when you’re not the one that will suffer. Sanctimonious **ssholes.
