They are all making the grave statement that this is going to destroy the Republican party, etc., etc.

The tone of their voices and the frantic carrying on that they are doing leads to me believe that the Republicans might be doing the right thing.
A sure fire way to know if you are doing the right thing is if you're opposition is going ballistic about you doing it.

If this is really so bad for the Republicans then you would think the Dems would be kicked back gloating...instead of practically begging them NOT to do it. lol

These pundits on MSNBC wouldn't last long in a game of Poker. heh-heh

Here's the way I see it:
Every member of Congress is supposed to be there to REPRESENT their constituents.
Right now, ObamaCare is an unpopular program. And every Republican sitting in The House was elected on a promise to repeal ObamaCare.

The Congress has one MAJOR job assigned to it in our govt.
And that is to control the purse strings.

It is the thing that they are Constitutionally mandated to do.

A real leader would have reached out to Congress from the beginning and made it happen.
Just like Reagan did with the Dems in Congress.
Just like Clinton did with the Repubs in Congress.

Face it...Obama has been arrogant and aloof. From the very beginning he has shoved stuff down the Republicans throat. Even ObamaCare was passed in the Senate on a procedural trick (there were actually 51 votes AGAINST it in the Senate when Scott Brown took the vacated seat of Ted Kennedy.

And then of course the smug Nancy Pelosi telling Congress that they had to vote for it before they could read it. lol

Obama has himself to blame.
And the fact that he has already delayed it for Big Business AND The Unions are demanding to be exempt from it AND Congress gave itself a big subsidy for themselves, their families, and everyone on their staff...should tell ALL of you everything you need to know about ObamaCare.

It's a trainwreck.

Business people say so. The Unions say so. And Congress even says so for their own personal health insurance.

The only people who are gonna get straddled with this are all of us citizens NOT in the "Ruling Class" (politicians, lobbyists, big business, and unions)
Funny that these very same congressmen blocked a gun background check that was extremely popular with the people of this country. I guess they only hav to vote for what the people want as long as their lobbyist buddies say its ok.
