"The truth is many Republicans like parts of Obamacare. The truth is a number of Senate Republicans were willing to vote back in December of 2009 that the individual mandate was unconstitutional while keeping their names on healthcare legislation by Senator Bob Bennett that had an individual mandate."

The problem is...that Erick is a glass chewer and thusly his memory is faulty. Those bills were out there to flood the zone, and allow GOP talking heads, whoever was on point, to refer to a bill per talking point needs. Bennett's bill was an outlier and I don't recall it getting any traction whatsoever. The two the GOP put forth that just barely got any coverage were Coburn's SB1099 Patient's Choice Act, and McCrisis had his Health Tax Credit.

You must admit that Republicrats have done nothing but add to the convolution of this ridiculous, evil political system that ignores the Constitution and the people who are supposed to be served by a truly representative government. Rather, this is one that has pushed, shoved, and squanderously spent towards achieving (in their small minds) the ‘utopia’* that the USSR would never come close to.
