> There’s no doubt Republicans are united in opposing Obamacare.
Unfortunately the Republicans appear to be at odds. Perhaps they disagree with the strategy, or they do not have the stomach to carry out the will of the people who put them in office.
I thnk it also has to do with the fact that the liberals are framing this to the public as the senators who vote to defund also want to shut down the government and are hammering them on this issue. We know this isn’t true but they are using old Alinsky tactics once again; keep repeating the same thing over and over again (even if you know its a lie) and the public will begin to believe it. The liberal liars always seem to kick and scream the loudest while calling their opponents liars; the same method used by brat children to get out of trouble if they can lie their way out of a situation and shift the blame to someone else.
We have seen this tactic over and over again for many years. You would think that the Republicans would have figured out a way to counter it.
The Democrats magnify some insignificant issue like an obscure word someone used many years ago and then dominate the newspapers for days and weeks and months. It works for them; just ask any low information voter about Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh. They will roll their eyes and say something negative about them.
You can see that tactic working in favor of many Democrat candidates today. Then we have McCain criticizing fellow Republicans who actually wants to carry out the wishes of the people.
