Sen. Ted Cruz offered a life raft to these RATS last October, but liberal republicans and marxist democrats chose personal power over the republic.

What else would you expect from the Los Angeles Times who are usually to the left of the Manchester Guardian, New York Times, The Nation and NBC News?

Harkin jumped on this too.
But realize they want a 100% govt run health system a la Hillarycare rather than Obamacare, not a free market.

This is the heart of the problem:

“We must convince the middle class that the only way out of their morass is by a stronger and effective government”

For liberals, the only way to remedy the destruction that the big-government Nanny State has wrought is by an even bigger big-government Nanny State.

Nah. It’s Amnesty.

Most of the upper midwest and northeast working class people understand now that the Rat leadership holds them in total contempt as low class white trash.

The party of snooty Ivy League liberals and angry, grievance driven non-whites is all that’s left.

The lesson, as I've written before, is that the Democrats' blunder was not in passing the bill, but in running away from it once it became law and abandoning it to be defined--misdefined--by their Republican opponents.

The author is saying there was no life raft needed.

Obamacare also destroyed the Republican RINO Party imo. This is because RINOs failed to uphold their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution because they never argued against the Democrats that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes.

At the Health Care Summit in February 2010, Pelosi claimed Obamacare would increase 400,000 jobs “almost immediately.”

I don’t think the Obama economy has added 400,000 jobs in total since February 2010.

Do Liberals have any relationship to reality and truth? Any? At all?

Yeah, it’s all Bush’s fault. Or they were just misunderstood. Or, they didn’t get their message out. Or, it was those Republicans again.

My doctor just informed me he is taking early retirement at the end of the year because he is disgusted with Obamacare. He said he just couldn’t take it any more. He has sold his practice to a healthcare chain. I had been trying since last Thursday to make an appointment through them.

And my health insurance rates have almost doubled since Obamacare was passed.

We have all been screwed by Obamacare. And no, I didn’t get to keep my doctor.

"In 2006, Hiltzik was suspended without pay from the LA Times for sockpuppeting on his blog "The Golden State". Hiltzik admitted to posting under false names on multiple sites, using the pseudonym "Mikekoshi" to criticize Hugh Hewitt and L.A. prosecutor Patrick Frey. In December 2009, the LA Times announced that Hiltzik would be returning to the paper as a business columnist." -- Wikipedia

"It didn't help that, according to the New York Times, he had previously been caught reading colleagues' email without their permission." -- Washington Examiner

In FR we are all ideologues, just like the leftist ideologues...just a different ideology. Of course, we claim to be right and they wrong, which in economics, destruction of the traditional family and other issues seems to be supported by the evidence.

But we need to be careful that we don’t make the same political blunder, especially on immigration. The reality is that our basic position is pro-family and “let the free market decide”. Immigration rhetoric and action contrary to those basic positions makes us look like hypocrites.

The evidence is that free market in immigration and trade is good for the country. The Guttmacher-Malthusians on immigration are likely to cripple the Conservative movement in the same way Obamacare has crippled the left.

Of course, Murder, rape, DUI, welfare parasites are not “free market”. We need to focus on deporting and keeping out those specific types of immigrants (both legals and illegals). No immigrant, legal or illegal should come here to collect welfare.

It is the DEMOCRAT party.

Not the Democratic party.

“This is a serious flaw, because other surveys, notably by the Kaiser Family Foundation, have shown repeatedly that voters strongly favor almost all of the actual features of Obamacare, including the end of insurance denials and jacked-up premiums for pre-existing medical conditions, lower drug prices for Medicare enrollees, the right to keep children on employer health plans to age 26, tax credits for small businesses to buy insurance, and the expansion of Medicaid.”

If, and only if, these benefits don’t cost them any money. If they do, then its a different matter entirely, isn’t it? The one thing the poll never asks his how much are you willing to pay for the feature.

No. Any other questions?

Regardless of any loss of elections Obamacare is so invasive and cancerous it will never be cut out of the system now. now, with millions of illegals that will soon be able to vote, rats will stay in power.

Hiltsik suggests Dems shouldn’t have run away from the great and wonderous Obamacare. The problem was regular mopes just didn’t understand it.

Hope they run on that theme in 2016
