Politico: Republicans 'Sabotaged' Obamacare Like Segregationists Resisted School Integration

Yup, Republicans made Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and their gang of wee pals write this atrocious piece of legislation, tricked Obama into signing it, conned Obama into lying about it to the American public, and persuaded John Roberts, a supposedly conservative Chief Justice, into upholding the legality of this unworkable, ruinously expensive assault on the Constitution, the rights of private citizens, the US national debt and the US healthcare system.

Sorry, Politico - the GOP is too busy sabotaging the Tea Party to worry about sabotaging anything else. This disaster belongs solely to the Democrats and their hero Obama - easily the worst president this nation has had to endure in the last 100 years.

This is the dork that Dee Dee Myers married probably when she was sloshed.

[catnipman]

Sabotage? I agree. I think probably what happened is that the conservative programmers amongst the population of technologists employed by the Obamacare enrollment web site contractors managed to insert deliberately faulty code to wreck the whole thing. No other explanation is possible. “Wreckers” are behind the failure of oBamKare!

[abclily]

CGI’s badly written program is the Republicans’ fault? Why? Because Republicans are the working taxpayers who paid millions to Michelle’s friends at CGI for the failed program?

[jurroppi1]

The left is completely unhinged, bat poop crazy bars in the windows nuts!

Each passing day makes me more comfortable in proclaiming that as truth...

[Dick Bachert]

Mea culpa. Sorry.

[LMAO]

You said...
“the GOP is too busy sabotaging the Tea Party to worry about sabotaging anything else”

Very true. The GOP doesn’t want to lose their ObamaCare exemptions and other perks. The Tea Party wing threatens that. That’s why the GOP considers the Tea party a greate threat than the Democrats

". But there is a strong factual basis for such a charge."

Well then, let's hear it.

[PJ-Comix]

Yeah, Republicans forced Obama to blow over $600 million on obsolete 10-year old software from a company who had been fired by the Canadian government for ineptitude.

The important take away here is that rampaging Alinskyite Dems NEVER, ever stop pumping their bilge. The GOPe on the other hand, is happy to keep their cocktail party invites and tip toe to the next election.

Boehner, McConnell, et. al. have no action plan at all to engage the Dems regarding Democratcare. Probably because they and their big donors are happy to let the Dems install socialized medicine. Main Street is SOL.

Well, Politico, God bless the Republicans if they did sabotage this nationalization of healthcare boondoggle.
Fact is, though, it was more the utter incompetence of Obama and the democrats that we have to thank for the complete failure to date of this monstrosity.
Not to mention the deep appreciation for the majority of the American People that saw through the ObamaCare lies and are avoiding it in droves.
Cheer up, though.
Nothing you print at Politico can be read with complete credibility anyway.

[Political Junkie Too]

By this reasoning, was voting for Romney in 2012 considered to be "sabotaging" Obama or Obamacare, too?

Passive aggressive sabotage?

Hey Smartypants Politico:

You call yourselves political analysts, and you couldn’t predict this consequence of cramming Obamacare through Congress without a single Republican vote?

Lemme give you a clue: Americans don’t obey laws they disagree with. History is filled with examples.

* The Whisky Rebellion occurred in response to the Alcohol Tax under George Washington. Farmers tarred and feathered alcohol tax collectors. When Washington sent an army to quell the rebellion, the whisky makers simply moved to Kentucky and Tennessee.

* Citizens in the North refused to obey the Fugitive Slave Act

* People refused to obey Alcohol Prohibition so massively that they had to repeal it.

* Americans buy drugs and black market cigarettes

* When Judges imposed bussing to eliminate segregated schools (segregated due to segregated neighborhoods), people moved to the suburbs.

Given this history, you pinhead statists couldn’t predict that there would be massive resistance? Calling it racist only strengthens the resistance.
