GOP Overplayed It's Hand /America and The Tea Party = Losers

[drsmith1072]

Repealing parts if not all of this Dem debacle should be the top priority for the Republicans if they regain some power. There are parts such as forcing Citizens to buy Health Insurance by way of threats of fines and wage garnishment that should be repealed immediately if possible. Lets hope this can happen at some point.

LOL repealing it is nothing more that a tool used by your elected representatives to get tools like you to give them money so they can fill their own coffers.

You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery, TWICE than the republicans have of repealing the bill.

It is not. Sadly the DEMS were so much wrapped up in party over country, they have opened a pandoras box that may never be closed...and as with the tea partyers, the democratic party has many on the left ignoring how the people are not necessartily being served...they are strictly the benefactors of an agenda....

I dont' see it that way. HCR is a big gamble. There is no guarantee that passing this has gotten the dems any political advantage. If they can't get some of the more aggregous things out of this bill, it may yet bite them where the sun doesn't shine.

That said, in a two party system, once a party starts behaving in this way (party before country) what is the remaing party to do? Just get plowed under? I've never considered the Dems to be overly politically astute. They do some really dumb things sometimes. But, I can honestly say that the major initiatives supported by the dems and liberals over the last century, most have not provided the Dems a sustained 'bump' with the voters. The New Deal did. But Civil Rights legislation backfired on them. We don't know how HCR will play out politically over the long haul yet.

When the GOP tasted a congressional majority in the 1990's, it appears they became addicted and started focusing on retaining power at any cost rather than focusing on retaining power through good governance.

The DEMS have labelled it as Obama's defining moment.

Nowhere have I heard them say that this is a defining moment for America.

This was for their party...and if the people benefit from it, great.

Hmm? Didn't they also say something about it being historic for the country??
I heard some other statements describing this event too so which dems labelled it as obama's defining moment?? And how many dems does it take to make this alleged proclaimation apply to ALL dems?? LOL
You know if you ignore the facts that don't suit your needs then you can basically make any claim that you want to make. I see why you run away from proving your own claims. Just realize that just because you make the claim it doesn't make it true. LOL

November:

The Taliban has been crushed
The Stock Market is pushing 13k
The unemployment rate is at 8.7% and dropping rapidly
The real Estate Market is stabilized
The benefits of the HealthCare Bill are starting to be felt by everyone

What's left of the TEA Party & GOP will be seen as a bunch of whiners and morons.

Well, they blew it. The funny thing is, they are making it worse and will still try to stop this.

Bachmann for president! Run Michelle, run.

I wonder why the GOP didn't want to debate the Iraq resolution this long? Hell, THAT debacle has cost us nearly a TRILLION dollars already, and won't do ANYTHING to lessen our deficit, EVER!

True, now on to more important thing. We HAVE to talk about your avatar! Woohoo. What happened next? lol

Them repealing this only further puts them down the wrong path....AGAIN. They lose, big time on this one and they continue to dig a hole. Who is going to sign the repeal, the President? lol

Health Care Reform
It’s Time to Decide, and 54% of Voters Oppose the Health Care Plan
Sunday, March 21, 2010

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has scheduled a House of Representatives vote today on the health care reform plan proposed by the President Obama and congressional Democrats. Yet while in Congress there has been months of posturing and shifting of political tactics, voter attitudes have remained constant: A majority oppose the plan being considered by the legislators.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone poll, taken Friday and Saturday nights, shows that 41% of likely voters favor the health care plan. Fifty-four percent (54%) are opposed. These figures have barely budged in recent months.

Another finding that has remained constant is that the intensity is stronger among those who oppose the plan. The latest findings include 26% who Strongly Favor the plan and 45% who Strongly Oppose it.

By all means let the GOP run on taking away your healthcare

It will give the Dems back their super majority

 

[Mr. Peepers]

They stood up for real Freedom & Liberty but lost.

That must be the name of an insurance company. The only things the Republicans stand up for are the uber-wealthy and corporations vs. Joe American. If that's what you mean, then... yeah, they did what they always do...

Thats right..........Joe American likes getting his balls taxed off to lione the pockets of big ass government.

s0n...........you dont understand independents. Their #1 issue is and has always been fear of big government. They voted for your guy which is the only reason he is president. He lied his ass off and they took the bait.

 

[sweetie]

...of course democrats suck...bigtime..

...but listening to republicans claim, 'the democrats are ushering in a government takeover of healthcare' is absolutely sickening, stoooooooooooooooooooooooopid, etc..

...as if 'the government' (including past and present members of their stinking republican party!) hadn't 'taken over healthcare' looooooooooooong ago..as evidenced by government licensure of 'providers,' government licensure/approval of drugs, medicines, procedures, (state) government approval/control of health insurance policies, etc. ad nauseam..

...listening to the cheerleaders for these stinking republicrats talk about 'freedom' is really really sickening..(hint for republicrats: 'freedom' doesn't mean a stinking thing without the word 'individual'--understood--preceding it!!)

This "war" you speak about...why should the nation be warring AGAINST each other?

The Iraq war was a hugh mistake and the last administration messed up on so many fronts but why is adding to the deficit by this administration OK? You don't correct out of control spending with more out of control spending. This entire partisan bickering only hurts the country as it allows the politicians to continue with business as usual.
Do you disagree?

 

[MarcATL]

LOL @ GOPers.

Notice how they never TRULY speak about how ABYSMAL the Bush Administration was..?

They always speak in past tense, matter-of-fact ways, never quite ADMITTING how terrible it was for the country...financially, mentally and morally.

"Oh yeah, we all know Bush was bad. He was acting like a Democrat. We never liked what he was doing."

Yet, they were in LOCK STEP with the Administration during the time.

Gotta luv 'em.
