Congress Radel a Replican just Said

[Heather MC]

Rep. Radel just admitted their plan is to Delay the Affordable Care Act for one year so they can hopefully vote it out of existence after the 2014 elections. because they are hoping they will win the Majority in the Senate. They are willing to shut down the entire Government for Politcal gain in 1 year this is sick

1. I'm hoping against hope Obama sticks with his "Bring It" stance.

This so-called majority opposition to Obamacare ... that even some Democrats are buying into is ignorance...Fox News propaganda...and the typical reticence of the left and center left to engage in mano-a-mano politics. This RW tantrum is so juvenile...yes, it is...but the adults need to step in and break this one up.

2. The last thing they want is voters getting health-care and then going to the voting booth

Radel is basically admitting that once people have it, they won't want to give it up.

3. Exactly

And imagine a candidate trying to run on the "Repeal ObamaCare" Platform once people have had a chance to use it.

Well The President is Off playing Golf I think he has the right idea I am going to go out an enjoy the day why not!

4. These people are delusional. The Republican Party is going to be decimated in 2014

[Skidmore]

5. We need to step up and push back hard.

Immediately.

6. I think we just won the House and preserved a majority in the Senate in 2014.

The TeaPublican party is gutting itself as a national party.

8. The ACA is well on its way to becoming the GOP's new Roe...

Although, what will be REALLY funny, is if it leads to a National Discussion about the REAL possibility of Single-Payer, is how fast they will defend the HELL out of it..i can see the talking points already:

PASSED by both Houses,
Signed by the President (albeit, a Democratic one, but wasn't he smart to enact a REPUBLICAN, FREE-MARKET solution to this problem)
UPHELD by the Supreme Court
Works well enough for most people,
has created a LOT of new jobs (see, back to that Free-Market Solution again)
Better not to rush into untested policy territory; status quo and whatnot...
...feel free to add your own...


In ten years, even Fox will be defending the premise that SOMETHING is needed, and that this is BETTER than nothing, better than it USED to be, and that U.S.Payer will just be "socialized medicine" of the kind that St. Ronnie warned us about, so let's leave it alone, even as we try and work to make it (ACA) less effective.
