Oh, dear. The Republican Party is having a bit of a message discipline problem, on account of apparently no one understanding what Mitt Romneys position on health care is. Almost exactly 24 hours after senior Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom definitively stated that his candidate believed the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act was not a tax, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus appeared on CNNs Starting Point to offer his support: Our position is the same as Mitt Romneys: a tax. Who exactly does Priebus think hes kidding here?

They fully expected the court to strike it down. They never intended to be talking healthcare, except to smear the loss in Obama's face.
The Supreme Court ruling has them flat footed and off balance. This explains their outrageous statements, and actions.
We have to keep pounding them on this, don't let them develop a plan.

Are we living in just one immutable reality or does it change every time the GOP changes the programming?
