The GOP keeps making serious stratetic and tactical blunders. After making the 2012 election about ObamaCare and being handed their ass with the voters reaffirming Obama and ObamaCare, they then held their breath until they turned blue. They voted 40 times to defund ObamaCare in the House, wasting god knows how much taxpayer money in the process knowing full well it would never get past the Senate or Obama after already failing to get past the voters of America.
Not getting their way, they then threw a full temper tantrum and shut down the government, demanding once again that ObamaCare be defunded.
Now we see a subtle backpedaling by the GOP. They sent out a no-name young sacrifical lamb to tell Mrs. Greenspan they just want the tax penalties delayed for a year.
That probably would have been negotiable if they hadn't overreached to begin with.
No..The left wing media got their pitch points from the White House. Those orders were to MAKE the election about Obamacare and social entitlements.
And that was precisely what happened.
WHite House campaign operatives shaped Obama's campaign as an "us against them" contest.
It went from the 1% to "all republicans are wealth and evil."
And of course, "free shit if you vote for me"...
Obamacare is nothing but a campaign promise used to solidify the democrat's foot hold inside the beltway.
