As I said on a recent podcast, the GOP message is going to become "fix" ObamaCare. Here's Marco "Amnesty" Rubio.
"The widespread problems with the ObamaCare website are generating a new backlash in Congress, with Sen. Marco Rubio planning to introduce legislation that would delay the health law's individual mandate until the technical failures are addressed.
The Florida senator discussed the plan Tuesday morning in an interview with Fox News. He said it would be "prudent" to delay the requirement on individuals to buy health insurance -- set to kick in early next year -- until users can consistently access the main website.
"How are you going to go after people next year ... if the thing you're forcing them to buy isn't available to buy?" he asked, saying the site is "not working." "
This was always the problem with the "delay" strategy. Obama needs a delay. Why in the world would you give him what he needs?

Exactly. The Democrats bought this thing stop trying to bail them out.
Is Rubio working for Obama?
Again, so much woe is wasted on evil that it’s forgotten what the good can do.
Too much thinking in Satan’s restricted box. Oh, they’ll be there forever. Why?
If I had to choose between stupid and evil, I’d go with stupid.
But here’s a secret. God’s smarter than Satan. However you gotta BELIEVE in Him. He won’t waste wisdom on those who think the smartest thing on earth is themselves.
I would like to apply the equal protection clause to ObamaCare. If insiders with connections are getting waivers on any requirement, then everyone should get a waiver on comparable requirements. Otherwise, enforce the law precisely as written (with any additions inserted by Chief Justice Roberts, of course). Either way, this terrible law would fail, and we could get back to something closer to a free market, which is the only solution that would actually work.
What Rubio did is smart. Obama cant say the delay was his idea, and that the evil Republicans are the problem.

Respectfully disagree. I think Obama would LOVE a delay until after the 2014 election. .....With no delay, the voting Americans will feel the bite of Obamacare on their personal finances. That SHOULD lead them to believe that the Pubs were correct all along about what a disaster Obamacare would be and, thus, lead to gains in the House and Senate. ..........Rubio should just learn to shut his pie hole instead of seeking face time for cameras. He’s nothing but an amnesty-monger!
Since the GOP has no plan...
*****************************
The Pubs have stated for several years that a major alternative would be to allow free market health insurance buys across State lines and to permit that insurance to “travel” with the buyer if moving to a different State.
One of the major problems that has existed is that each State has decided the parameters for what health insurance must offer and buyers have not been able to purchase coverage from a more applicable or affordable carrier in another State.
Rubio wants the White House so bad ...he will DO ANYTHING to get there.
What's the point of electing Republicans of it's just more of the same? What the RINOs did speaking out against fellow Republicans was disgusting, it's why Cruz's strategy didn't play out. What you're saying is not standing firm on the issue now in order to win votes in the future is a good idea? The only thing that will win votes is standing firm against a bad idea and coming up with a good one.
Lets start that conversation by acknowledging we arent going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but hes not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
