For the GOP it is all about Obama hate.

Another runt rant writ by Robert "runt" Reich.

Looks like more Obama "haters" coming on board, despite some of the obsequious language in their letter.

I find it quite amusing that Republicans see an extension of open enrollment as Dems joining the GOP fight against Obamacare.

No reason to question a permanent entitlement at the beginning, eh?

Reich controls.....

I find it quite amusing that the most vocal supporters of "obamacare" posting here aren't participating in it.

Yet.

Pull quote:

"But if liberals have to fish for a 1989 Heritage Foundation policy paper that had no Republican support in 2008, 2009 or 2012 to establish Republican paternity for the Affordable Care Act, that tells you one thing: They think Obamacare won't work."

Umm... Well... That quote is pretty pointless.

Didn't even have to go fishing. Romneycare? MA loves it. If you discount blind ideologues that have pulled this country so far right over the past decade, most knowledgeable people accept that the ACA was built on Republican principles and ideas. It is, by all means, a conservative solution to our broken health care system - that's why many on the left don't like it.

Obama ran on single payer (or the public option at the very least). Obama dismissed the individual mandate during his '08 election. Obama was elected.

What we got was a plan that focused on "compromise" more than what those who elected him wanted. Of course, no one knew at that time that the Republican's would have only one job the next four years - "making Obama a one term president and blocking anything he does". The GOP couldn't even do that right.

Translation:

Obama's signature legislation is headed to failure, and it's time to play pin the tail on the elephant.
