That’s in line with what Washington did in Trenton.
You’re exactly right - the RINOs should say NOTHINK! about this debacle, they should spend all of their time trashing Ted Cruz instead.
Let’s snatch defeat from the jaws of victory heartless GOPES (GOP Elite Snobs} decide to play the Demo-Coms your nothing but numbers game.
The GOPe leadership is just timid, even cowardly and worst of all… LAZY!!!
Who's been winning the most political contests in our lifetimes? (FDR till now) Have the duplicitous Dems ever tried "Political Judo?" (BLEEP) NO!!!
(these comments are not directed to the poster of this thread, but rather to the article author and to the ridiculous leadership of the GOPe)
Never give an enemy room to breath but one breath. Give an enemy an inch and that enemy will take miles which will have to be taken back.
For the moment, let the Media dot his muckraking....Don’t give them anything newsworthy (other than the oversight hearings ) for them to use as an excuse to back off what they are currently doing .
I think the Repubs can do both... Don’t be too aggressive, but remind the public on a regular basis who stood against Obamacare. Couch that with ever strategic message between now and Election Day next year.
Yes, let’s fund it to show how much we oppose it! That’ll do the trick.
“I consider that theory the ‘Bad Samaritan’ theory. Basically, inflict a bunch of harm on the American people and hope we benefit politically from it. What a terrible, cynical approach. I am not interested in seeing the American people suffer just because my party might benefit politically if they blame the Democrats for the foolish policies that have been imposed.” – Senator Ted Cruz
How about offering an alternative free market based plan, while you have people’s attention?
Didn’t they try that strategy in the last election?
This health sham has OBAMA all over it, he made it, he had it passed on lies and threats and its called OBAMACARE....let it fail just like the idiot that is trying to say he’s president....
That really helped our case.//SARC!!
When you are campaigning, you are campaigning.
When you are president, you should be leading and managing - not perpetually campagning
“They should be out there every day reminding people of Obama’s lies.”
Yep - and more than that! The House should be pumping out bill after bill - on a daily basis - repeal, replace, delay, defund, subpoena, impeach - everything!
Full court press, blitz, keep their foot on the gas, throw the book at ‘em, play every card we’ve got, don’t hold anything back! Not just lip service - we need action! Hit ‘em hard and fight dirty! If there’s any money in the GOP coffers - spend it! TV/radio ads. Attack attack attack! We gotta throw everything we’ve got at this thing and kill this beast. Nothing less than the future of our country is at stake! Literally - our lives - and the lives of our children and grandchildren - are on the line here!
Amen, Ted! We need 99 more just like him...he has a backbone!
Now is the time to go positive with competing ideas for insurance and medical care, that involve super-limited government involvement.
Medical savings accounts.
Tort reform.
States allowed to block strangling mandates like abortion and maternity for people who don’t do either.
State intervention blocking Fed mandates that harm residents of individual states.
And, everyone inside the beltway is forced out of their exemption foxholes.
