“Well said. The defeatism around here was irritating before Obamacare passed. It’s dangerous now. The enemy has committed a classic strategic blunder. Like Napoleon in Moscow and Hitler around Stalingrad, Obama has overreached and occupied ground he cannot hold. We need to exploit his mistake, not moan about his advance. It’s time to cut the enemy’s line of supply, surround his forces and exterminate them. That’s what the next two election cycles are all about. The new contract with America can consist of just one word. REPEAL!”

HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, right. It’s just like sugar quotas. A new constituency of freeloaders will be created and expanded by this and resist it. GOP couldn’t tie its own shoes, much less fight the Leviathan that has been created under Democratic and REPUBLICAN control over the past few decades.

Fix is in. The rest is kabuki theater.

REPUBLICAN control over the past few decades.

Are you really are this politically stupid? The GOP has not had unfettered control over the US Government since the 1920s. Unlike the Democrats who have super majority control over the US Government now, as they did in the latter half of the 1970s, The GOP has not had complete control of the US Government in most Freepers life time.

“A new constituency of freeloaders will be created and expanded by this”

Nonsense. Long before any politically significant number of people see benefits from Obamacare a majority will see the cost. The benefits don't start flowing for four years. By then the destruction of the insurance industry will have caused serious pain for many of us as the quality and quantity of medical services decline. There won't be any new freeloaders for years and in the mean time Obamacare will seriously annoy many of the old freeloaders as Medicare starts to absorb cuts. The welfare state can certainly create debilitating dependency, but that's going to work against Obamacare because it is such a serious threat to better established entitlements. Obamacare gives the government the choice between breaking their old promises or breaking their new ones. The old one are going to win out and Obamacare is going to go by the boards, soon.

Your defeatist cynicism isn't sophisticated or smart. It's juvenile and foolish. It's also destructive. If you can't find anything more useful to say, just stockpile ammunition, adjust your tinfoil helmet and maintain radio silence.
