How have they been able to blame us in their dawning realization of what a disaster Obamacare is becoming?
IF you're anti-Obamacare...you're (fill in the blank on smears).
remember Snugs...you're talking about an electorate that still blames President Bush for the economic climate his
successor created.
With that as a starting point...and with the help of our friends in the MSM...it's gonnabe easy to blame Republicans.
Here I can see this meme floating around..."If Republicans had gotten on board with universal/single payer health care in 1992 we wouldn't be in the health crisis we're in now."
Or this:
"Greedy Republican doctors and special interest groups more interested in a buck than treating people are the main roadbloacks to implementation of ObamaCare...they are feeding the coffers of (insert Republican Governor/Senator/Congresscritter) buying the off to prevent the State Exchanges from being built.
The media just needs that to run with and next thing you know...Brian Williams will be reporting eeevil Rethuglican doctors kicking old people to the curb and denying babies medicine because they siged up for ObamaCare.
Oh, how they cheered when it passed Congress. And they cheered again when SCOTUS blessed it.
Now listen to them.
They're getting ready to really rub our noses in it...and if we roll over as you suggest...then there's no telling what they will pass...without resistance to punish the states that don't cooperate.
The GOP should just vote "present" on whatever package Obama, Pelosi and Reid put forward.
You can bend and spread for the Dems...but don't complain about the sharp pain and lasting ill effect afterwrds.
What will they damn us for? Not saving them from their own idiocy?
Haven't you learned by now that Liberalism means NEVER having to take responsibility for your actions?
Then we can save our political capital for fighting judicial nominees, the EPA, criminal investigations, etc.
None of which is going to happen for the next four years. Especialls since judges etc are passed in the Senate not the House. Our best chance on getting to the bottom of Fast and Furious and Benghazi disappeared when Mitt lost.
If we roll over and don't fight what little political capital we have is gone.
We are outnumbered and outgunned. It makes no sense fighting in open terrain. Fall back to a position we can effectively defend while forcing the enemy to seize territory he cannot hold; especially if he wants to fight us on the ground we've staked-out. We are a political insurgency. Standing in an open field, festooned with brightly colored plumes and riding out to invite your opposite to take the first volley is noble, gentlemanly and romantic but the barbarian horde you'll be facing couldn't care less. They see only victory. Thankfully they overestimate their own competence.
Then that is exactly what we should do. Fight them for every square inch of ground we are forced to yeild...until they are bled dry. No one ever won a war playing defense. Something Republicans never seem to learn. Did the Dems fall back and retreat after 2010? How about after 1994 and the Republican Revolution?
No they just fought harder...didn't change one iota...hell they came right out and dared us to stop them...we were in the majority and the Dems stilla cted like they were in charge..and we need to do the same.
