He needs to transition himself.
Wow! That must’ve been a big payoff.
Transition to the free marketplace.
Is that so hard for this “senator” to understand?
The GOP plan is to transition to Romneycare.
The business interests wanted the new health care system to relieve their financial burdens and the GOPe does not want to dismantle any part of it that looks good in focus group polling.
National Review is full of Mandela worshippers, personally I could not care less about them now. They are not in any way a conservative website.
Here’s a novel idea, Senator. Repeal the entire steenking fascist/socialist mess and let freedom reign!!
Congress wouldn't handle immigration because they WOULD NOT ENFORCE THE LAW......it became "TOO BIG TO DEAL WITH"...because they wouldn't enforce the law....NOW when we have an outlaw running roughshod over the American citizen this clown doctor wants to "help" enforce something the American people never wanted.
Agreed. I gave up on National Review when every article was a Romney love fest.
At this point its basically a worthless site full of folks who have never had a single conservative accomplishment in their careers.
"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes"
"all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"
Third World status in 3...2...1...
His point, I believe, is that it cannot be gotten rid of by outright repeal. At least not yet.
We are going to have to destroy the leviathan another way.
I suppose the analogy might be to a cancer.
Sometimes, one can cut the cancer immediately...in the early stages, before it has spread. If not stopped immediately, then the attack has to be done in different ways...by focusing on one particular part or aspect—to limit growth, choke off, or irradiate one particular aspect.
I don’t think Johnson wants the Obamacare cancer to grow, but he recognizes it is now within the system, and more creative ways of removing it have to be found.
Of course, once the body is HEALTHY enough (that is, once CONSERVATIVES are in control of the body politic if you’ll excuse the pun), then we OUGHT to be able to take a knife to the cancer...and remove it completely. Oh, they’ll be howls of “the pain, the pain”, by the media and the Democrat base.
But it’ll be for the good of the country. :)
From the comments so far, it’s apparent that most didn’t read what Johnson said, that his approach is to “repeal, dismantle, and transition to something better.”
Personally, I’m pleased to see someone take a realistic view of the mess, rather than just pitching a hissy fit. Yelling “No!” is not working.
did you see their Mandela-editorial?
It was nauseating
He is transitioning is original opposition to Obamacare.
We are going to transition you out of office Ron. Loser.
Here’s my contribution to your conversation, Ron.
No.
Agreed, but the reality is that as long as 0ne is in office and as long as GOP does not have a super majority of 67 in the Senate along with continued control of the House, the law cannot be repealed or changed until January 2017. By then the program will be so well entrenched it will be hard to retract and God only knows what the political landscape will be in the 2016 presidential elections.
By feeding the cancer with a promise of curing it later.
LOL
