Reality: The "Revolt Against Obamacare" is a Trojan Horse.
   
This meme is being used as a bludgeon. An excuse or reason to destroy the U.S. government and effect a coup.

The GOP gang is hiding behind that excuse.

It really has nothing to do with Obamacare and everything to do with a coup. This was the intent. To use the advent of Obamacare as this bludgeon.

The whole of our system is under attack.

That's why the Baggers don't care about the polls, or the negative effect in public opinion.

They are a juggernaut, intending to smash it all in ways we did not contemplate.

1. Their goal is to destroy the democratic government.

It's been happening since at least 1980. It's unreal that fewer than 100 people in the House can hold the country hostage, but that's where we are. Even if we get all the Democrats to vote in 2014 and throw most of them out, this fight won't be over. In fact, I suspect their tactics will be even more overt and desperate. The people who own this country aren't going to let it go quietly.

2. I was thinking the same thing, this morning.

This is a test to see what they can get away with. They don't give a flying **** about opinion or polls or whatever.
They were (IMO) drunkenly celebrating a brazen attempt at a coup, not an attempt to get rid of one law they don't like. Their original wish list tells me that.

3. absolutely

But the media has accepted the Trojan Horse premise that this is a fight over the implementation of the ACA,

It's way, way bigger than that. We are in terrible trouble.

We are in more trouble now than we were under Bush.

5. The Republican MO, treason and coups
 
Think about these:
Prescott Bush tried to recruit General Smedley Butler to lead a coup against FDR.
The Kennedy assassinations, Nixon negotiating with North Vietnam to not reach a peace accord with LBJ so as to use the continuing war as a campaign issue. Reagan negotiating with Iran to keep the hostages until after the election. If Carter had negotiated for their release Reagan never gets elected. The Clinton witch hunt that was not based on any impeachable offense, and now they will impeach Obama if he employs the provision of the 14th Amendment to raise the debt limit.
The sons of bitches belong in prison not Congress.

10. This is what their hate for obama has brought them to

It has been gnawing at them since the day he won the election in 2008. It has been like a cancer consuming them to the point they feel they must throw him out of office. They tried not approving any of his appointees. The have blocked legislation to the point where they were getting nothing done, remember McConnell saying they would block all Obama's legislation? They have brought the country to the brink time and again over the budget and debt. They thought they could lure Obama into a war with Syria and have that to use against him but he fooled them with diplomacy. They know that impeachment will not work, they thought about that when they were chasing Benghazi ghost, it wouldn't even go up the flag pole.

The group driving the teabaggers who are controlling the republicans at this point can not allow this black president to continue have the success he has seen to this point in his presidency in spite of all their efforts to thwart him. The would destroy the country over their hate for one man, that is how racist the teabaggers are.

I believe you could be correct.

I pray you are not.

Fro them our tax money can only travel one way - upward to the 1%. Racism is their cover.

I predict domestic political violence if Hillary gets the presidency and the Dems get the Congress in '16. the country is in for some tough, tough times. Similar to Bleeding Kansas before the CW.

Never let a crisis go to waste, they say.

This could be their Reichstag on the 17th

"We say"?

That would be a Dem that said that.

And the Reichstag was the act of a socialist government.

13. I agree.....

This has been going on since Carter's presidency and no doubt before. The republicans have been taken over by fascists and are doing everything they can to subvert the constitution. It all seems too coincidental. Both Kennedys, murdered. RFK would have easily won the election in 68. I've always felt there were others behind those two murders. They are traitors. Ike, the last good republican was right and we didn't listen.

This is who we're supposed to negotiate with.

17. Absolutely true. This is why Obama/Reid/Pelosi MUST. NOT. CAVE.

This is about our Democracy. It's about the forceful takeover of our system and our way of government by a few extremist zealots. It IS a coup.

The objective is to take over the government and 'shrink' it to military-only and nothing else -- and have it run by a these minority zealots.

THAT is not a Democracy or a Republic or any kind of representative government at all. They absolutely seek to destroy and make impotent anything about our government that is Democratic or representative or that serves the people of this nation.

It's a coup.

26. Yes, this is a Republican Coup d'etat to install a radical rightwing Christian Domionist government

run from the halls of Congress by about 80 members.

28. It's the same thing as always, no grand scheme, that gives them too much credit.

They are just playing up to their ever increasing nutjob base to protect them in midterms because that's all they have left.

This is clearly not a rightwing attempt at a coup...the right wingers would bring weapons to bare not some mealy mouth talking point.

So, DUmmie, obamacare (love how even you mental hemorrhages are using that term) was passed by a democrat house and senate, signed into law by a democrat president, just so republicans could use it three years later as a bludgeon to install a Christian Dominionist government.  All of this, even though you ****s claim to be the smartest people on the planet...

Hell, Judy, give up!  If that's the case, you retards don't have a ****in' prayer!

Poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith should leave reading trends and arcs to the DUmp's trained historian.

I'd love to see that. I'd love to see Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the democratic children in the House and Senate frog marched to jail.
