President Obama said yesterday:
The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay. ... In the end, history is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America’s progress or our people. And that’s what the Affordable Care Act represents. As messy as it’s been sometimes, as contentious as it’s been sometimes, it is progress.
What Republican will stand up today and say something like this:
No, Mr. President. No way, Mr. President. We do not accept, we do not acquiesce in, this deplorable piece of legislation. The debate is not over. The debate will continue. It must continue. What is at stake is sound health care policy for America. But what is also at stake is reversing your attempt, Mr. President, to transform a free country committed to limited government into merely another nation burdened with the worst aspects of big-government nanny-statism.
Mr. President, you have been elected our 44th president. We of course accept that, and we understand that you will continue to fight for your legislation and threaten to veto attempts to repeal and replace it. But we do not accept that you get to decide that the debate is over. We do not accept that you acquire any moral authority by claiming to enlist "history" on your side. We do not accept that your attempt to expand welfare state at the expense of individual liberty and the rule of law is true "progress."
President Obama, you might wish the debate were over. You might think you can intimidate us into conceding the debate is over. But you are wrong. The Republican party

The Left ALWAYS says the debate is over.
Just like with global warming.
You think the GOP is opposed to Obamacare?
Just another announcement from your friendly Fuhrer Obama.
I hope you are correct.
The GOPe is about growing the government as much as the Dems are, they are just content with their “foil” role as long as they get a piece of the ever expanding gov’t power pie.
Nope....All people have to do is stop paying and/or get their own insurance....or drop their insurance. The bottom line is the government won’t have another kitty to rob.
What Republican will stand up today and say something like this .....

Ted Cruz .... only one I think has the brass for it.
Submit.
I suppose he’s going to ban any right to appeal now.
The debate will also be over when Obama tells the US he is staying on at the White House for life
No law is as permanent as politicians say they are.
The GOP is **** scared to do anything for fear of being called racist.
The American people are **** scared of saying anything for fear of being called racist, but the enrollment numbers show there is a quiet shift in thinking going on.
People are not signing up despite IRS penalties.
Obunghole lies about everything. Why believe her now?
Thank goodness, Obama, you are not here to stay.
Once upon a time: The land of the free and the home of the brave.
Now: The land of the willing government serf and the home of everybody with his hand out.
LOL! Obviously you haven’t seen the latest un ipcc(ippc?) report. We’re all gonna die. No kidding un panel. How’d ya figure that one out?
It's a negotiating tactic, when you're talking from a point of weakness. "We're done here."
Spineless wusses like Boehner roll over and say "OK.". Fortunately, the grownups with some spine are starting to dominate the conversation. "No, we're not done here. In fact, we're just getting started."
The one thing that I'm a little concerned about, is that we might wind up with Obamacare AND some other alternative monstrosity as well. I could see that happening.
FUBO, Asshat Obama!
