Do you really think the "progressives" in the GOP Establishment will ever allow that kind of campaign?

Why not just stick with how bad Obamacare is?

What’s to say they can’t do both?

It splits the advertising money. Corporate welfare is bad, but people get jobs from corporations. Obamacare is bad for EVERYONE.

Agreed!

_________________

The con-artist challenge by Democrats to RINOs to “Fix” the failed Federal Medical Insurance Law, Obamacare, is now approaching a decision point: April Fools Day, 2014.

Always eager to do nothing unless it is something that might make the Democrats hate them less, the GOP Establishment is actively searching for ways to help “their best friends across the aisle” on the failed Obamacare Law which is set to fail April Fools Day, 2014.

The GOP-E has recently picked up Romney’s “Torch of Tyranny” (Romneycare), and are happily working on their own version of Federal Medical Inurance called “RINOcare.”

Will the TEA Party Reps. in the US House rise up and replace “Doormat for Obama” Boehner, and then ABOLISH the RINOcare replacement of Obamacare, or will everyone just sit on their hands and be happy to be everybody’s fool, again?

Romney is hoping that Boehner’s RINOcare prevails, as it will allow Romney to run again as the GOP-E Nominee in 2016.

BTW, why are so many RINOs so determined to continue the financial destruction of America by advocating Federal RINOcare?

Obamacare has proven to millions of Americans that Federal Medical Insurance will always be doomed to fail, a lesson ignored by our sorry Federal RINOs.

FORWARD !

[BTW, have you ever noticed that the Obamanation command “FORWARD !” is ALWAYS toward the upper lip of the Financial Cliff?]

Taking your money and mine to give handouts to corporations. Crony capitalism.

No, it simply diversifies the Republican message. Tehre is plenty of ad money.

The Decree of Obamanation: ALL WELFARE MUST COME ONLY FROM THOSE WHO ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO PAY PERSONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.

Any Corporation that attempts to provide workplace incentives to potential employes are guilty of attempting to provide illegal Corporate Welfare, and must be punished by at least one Gestapo Agency of the US Federal Government.

FORWARD !

The biggest resemblance between the Big Two political parties is their never-ending desire to make sure donors & lobbyists get plenty of $$$ from Uncle Sugar -- auto industry, military contractors, banks/financial institutions, War on Terror pushers/addicts, agriculture industry, etc.

Say how much you want & Congress will write the check.

I really don't get why we refer to the U.S. as a capitalist economy.

“Why not just stick with how bad Obamacare is?”

Because crony capitalism is, if anything, a worse problem than Obamacare? If we could campaign on it and make it an issue that Americans thought about and voted on, that would be a really really good thing.

Sticking with just Obamacare is like covering up and trying to run out the clock in boxing match. You’re playing not to lose. You’re not playing to win.

The Republicans hand out more than enough of their own corporate welfare. This would be Mutually Assured Destruction.

a referendum on corporate welfare

Not a chance. The GOPe love corporate welfare. If it wasn't for cronyism for cash they wouldn't have anything to occupy themselves with.

I’m sure it won’t be, and the Dems will do everything they can to distract people from it on to other straw-man issues they create. But we should not allow them to set the agenda with their MSM allies.....................

We can tie the two together, as Carney points out, because Obamacare, among its many bad provisions, includes a taxpayer-funded bailout for Big Insurance if they don’t get enough signups to make a profit. Senator Rubio has a bill to stop that.

You mean like Owe-bama’s “green energy” programs, or do you mean like liberals always claim tax breaks to spur development are ‘corporate welfare”?

People aren’t concerned with whether corporations get a bailout or not when their financial situation is in dire straits. Can’t pay for healthcare because the premiums are outrageous, can’t pay the rent or mortgage, groceries are going up, gasoline is going up, can’t find a job and the unemployment is running out or already has. These are pocketbook issues. People vote according to their own situation, not what’s happening on Wall Street, K Street or Easy Street, but Main Street.......................

Romney’s single best moment of his POTUS campaign was when he hammered the kenyan for crony capitalism in the first debate.

The Dems have no answer for that. A little populism from the GOP drives them crazy and gets them off message. If the GOP ever wants to be the party of the middle class they better start attacking crony business. Everybody can understand why it is wrong and the Dems have been getting away with murder.
