The GOP supports ObamaCARE/ROmneyCARE because THEY CREATED IT.

Liberals don’t suffer from an identity crisis. Liberals exist just to destroy.

[Truth29]

The GOP leadership is closer to the Rats than the Tea Party and conservatives in general. They are joining forces with the Left to try and destroy conservatives. Losing the 2014 and 2016 elections are a price they are willing to pay to support their breathern Democrats, pass amnesty and retain Obamacare.

I am beginning to hate Republicans as much as I do Democrats.

RE :”Please explain this: Obama is incredibly unpopular, and Obamacare is one of the main reasons, yet some Republicans are now saying it's here to stay.”

That's easy. Because some parts of it are popular.

And what made Obama really unpopular was that it was seen as taking away Americans health care, not the personal mandate.

I am sure the author knows this.

Their backbone is fine. They’re using all their strength to destroy their enemies.

Sad to say, Obama is NOT “incredibly unpopular”. Wishing doesn’t make it so.

He has a 41% approval rating, and at least some of the “disapproves” are in that camp because he has not yet replaced Congress with regional workers and peasants soviets.

The Republicans haven’t proposed an alternative to Obamacare because if they discover that the ONLY alternatives are to repeal Medicare or to nationalize the health professions they will become even more unpopular than they are now.

We are in deep, deep s*** and pretending that Obama is “incredibly unpopular” is not helping.

i am so sick and tired of reading and hearing all this happy horseshit about how the Republican elite “lacks backbone” and that’s why they don’t stand up to the Obama administration.

The GOPe and its Chamber of Commerce and Corporate donors stand to make a fortune from Obamacare and other massive Federal Government overreaches. This is a matter of money and lots of it, not a lack of courage.

Boehner and his minions have plenty of courage and backbone when it comes to suppressing the conservative base of the Republican party.

The GOP needs to be cured of "Do something itus". Obviously we need to repeal Obamacare but that doesn't mean we need to do something. The only thing that really needs to be done is to free the health care and health insurance industries to do what they do best.

Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still.

"Republicans have to give the voters a reason to vote for them and not just against his party."

No. They don't. We've heard this crap for decades. It has become perfectly obvious they are comfortable with their role in the Uniparty as "first loser" (2nd Place). We've all seen this production before…

[Buckeye McFrog]

They never HAD one.

Reagan had to drag them kicking and screaming to something that vaguely resembled Conservatism.

[Georgia Girl 2]

The GOP is fighting the real enemy, the Tea Party.

[SoConPubbie]

The first thing that needs to be done before that can happen is the Traitorous, Trojan-Horse, Democrat Collaborating cowards, Corporate Cronyists, the GOP-E, have to be removed and replaced with Fire-Breathing, Tea-Party Patriots.

Until then, everyone is “whistling past the graveyard” thinking that the GOP will regain it’s backbone.
