Excuse me--not to point out the obvious once again, but how did the GOP recklessly allow this to happen? The Democrats had a majority in both houses plus the Presidency when Obamacare was passed. The net effect of Obamacare was the GOP taking back Congress in 2010. The logically/ legally incoherent Roberts decision which held Obamacare was constitutional might be the only thing you can hang your hat on.
Let's also be consistent here. When Conservatives oppose Obama's agenda they are--obstructionists, racists, sore losers, terrorists etc.--- When they capitulate and make nice, they're sell outs--- You can't have it both ways.
Rand Paul has stood up against the Obama agenda and been mocked. Ted Cruz has stood up and been demonized. Funny how I have never seen a single post here from you giving them the respect they deserve. Who on the Democrat side has done anything except offer to eat human shit if it meant advancing the far left agenda?
Just admit you (and everyone else who supported Obamacare) were dead fucking wrong and the base of the Republican Party was right on the money. Anyone who bothered to look at the substance of the law+ has an ounce of intellectual honesty could have told you that Obamacare was a catastophe in the making.
And it is going to get much much much worse. The real fun starts in 2015. If you think its bad now, just wait.
Just to be clear. The Democrats are responsible for this bill. They pushed it, they passed it. I don't put sole blame on the repubs. But i don't put sole blame on the Democrats. Repubs are accountable for not doing enough to stop this bill.

.I think Repubs are every bit at fault. They had more than enough time to address the issues that were pissing people off. They repeatedly failed to get anything done about it even when they could. There were some half-hearted attempts, but nothing that I would consider substantial.

Not a single repub may have voted for it, but when shit got really heavy and the chips were down, the GOP establishment chose to cave and not fight. Even worse, they chose to actually side with the democrats and bash the few actual conservatives who actually did try to fight it. Cruz was demonized and bashed to no end by his own party.

I agree Republicans should have been more proactive on healthcare,
I'll take it a few steps further:
The Republicans lost elections in congress. To the point were all repubs voting against
DIDN'T FUCKING MATTER.Lost them in 2006, did they gain enough back to make a difference? NO. They served up McCain, then Romney? Are you kidding me?
And then the Repubs run other candidates that
ONLY APPEAL TO ULTRA CONSERVATIVES and lose!
You stupid dumb fucks!Then they fragment themselves with the TEA Party who end up looking like a bunch of grumpy hateful lunaitics to everyone else, with people like "I talk with God" Bachman that fucking looney toon.
One of the points i am making here is that if the REPUBS didn't fuck up, we wouldn't be in this mess.
so fuck you, repubs, for being so dimwitted as to paint your self in a corner of "fantasy LANDSLIDE land"
