The Republicans are colluding with the Democrats to “delay” Obamacare until January 2015 and thereby give the Obama regime a chance to smooth out the wrinkles so it “works right”. The delay will also keep the issue from hurting the rats too much during the coming year's 2014 mid-term election campaign.
Do some people actually believe that a "delay" is in any way a "win" for Republicans?
In return for giving the rats another year-plus to deepen the roots of their communist healthcare and get it working smoother, the Republicans will cave on the debt ceiling. What a deal.
Wow, are we ever being played.
I do too. The chance of killing it for good could actually be possible a year from now.
I want no delay....I want 0baMaoCare to start hurting everybody - everybody - ASAP. A year’s delay puts implementation way too close to the 2014 elections.
No doubt. The longer it takes to implement this.... the longer it can be put off.... the better chance it never happens.
The GOP is truly The Stupid Party. If they aren’t colluding with Obama, they are simply political doofuses whose actions look as though they were scripted for them by Axlerod.
2. One reason for proposing a one-year delay is that it gives the GOP grassroots a chance to figure out where it really stands on this -- by postponing implementation until after many Republicans in the U.S. Senate face primary battles in 2014.
You make it sound like we're being played. :-)
Ubama is already a lame duck. I am more concerned about Mengelecare becoming permanent.
You’ll get no argument from me.How could we have good Repub representation for the last 59 years and still see every one of the 1954 communist goals (in the Congressional record) realized?
>>Do some people actually believe that a “delay” is in any way a “win” for Republicans?<<
I do....kinda. I don’t trust the majority of congress at all, but this may give an opportunity to gain control of the senate...then go for the repeal.
Will see.
I agree
I read here that a delay would push the requirement to have health care insurance by January 1, 2015. Pretty convenient, huh?
There’s no chance of repeal at this time. Hopefully after 2014.
Agreed.
The House had the ability to kill the viper now, but they chose instead to force everyone to sleep with it for another year, so they could try to win votes in the next election by complaining about the viper in everybody’s bed.
Not at all.
I'm just now just ranting / venting about it.

Exactly! The sooner it goes into effect the sooner the American people will choke on it.
Yeah, kicking this past the election is a kick in our teeth. “Being” played? No. “Been” played.
Interesting perspective. I’m doubtful, however, that Cruz and Lee would be playing along.
Likely not, he just chose this time to write about it........sheesh!
If the sense of inevitability of Obamacare can be stopped now, I believe that this will substantially reduce its chance of going into effect in a year.
We have been played by both parties for decades. Nothing new and few see it clearly as you do.
Given the state of our economy and the fiscal rot within our government and financial markets our prognosis is not good. Obamacare will speed up the day of reckoning where we can no longer sell our debt and our tax base continues to decrease as the economy gets even worse. The dollar will continue to weaken and they will continue to print them forcing other nations to find an alternative and then we are in BIG trouble.
Hope and pray that I am wrong, but in order to turn things around we would not only have to repeal Obamacare, we would have to greatly slash entitlements, increase revenues by growing the economy, and decrease government spending across the board. A tall task considering we can’t even stop a very unpopular program from an unpopular President and congress.
