The GOP better not vote to delay

[resident_evil]

Let the Obama Administration illegally decide whether or not to delay the individual mandate penalty for a year. If the GOP provides political cover to Democrats or tries to life support the ACA frankenstein by easing the idiocy, they will prove themselves to be the political fools they are.

P.S. QUITE EVIDENTLY THE GOP SHOULDN'T SUE TO STOP OBAMA.

I couldn't agree more. Look here

GROWING LIST OF DEMS CALL FOR DELAY - Democrats are lining up to call for an ObamaCare extension, citing the crashed launch of the new health-insurance entitlement program. With Web site and phone-bank failures galore, shaky data and public outrage at the expensive bungle, moderate or potentially vulnerable Democrats like Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va,Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Kay Hagan, D-N.C., are calling for a slowdown. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., has a bill that would leave open the enrollment period to obtain insurance before fines kick in. Manchin told Bill O’Reilly Wednesday that he was working on a bill with Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., to delay the so-called “individual mandate” for one year. Fox News has more.

Agreed. Democrats own this disaster lock, stock and barrel. Giving them any support in cleaning up their mess would be a mistake for the Republicans.

For better or worse (depending upon your perspective!), this isn't about a vote. Obama can just do it unilaterally. And, maybe you're right...maybe it IS illegal for him to do so. But, as a practical matter, it's legal until someone sues him and a court says they're right. And, that would put the GOP in the odd position of suing to stop a delay that they were for, before!

heh heh ....

I may not always agree with you but this one is a knee slapper.....and true.

Yep, FS called it! Sometimes RWers entirely forget (amnesia? ;-) that Obama IS El Presidente.

That's right Bo. Remember, he is the one that said "I could get more done, if I were a dictator"...

Heck, Republicans invented being for something before they were against it.

He has been fast and free with the executive powers to be sure......maybe more so than any in the past fifty years.

I think that people also tend to forget that we have had worse Presidents too...maybe not economically but certainly there were shady and unscrupulous characters who inhabited the office from time to time...

If I remember correctly Fillmore had a bribe drawer installed in the oval offic desk...it would open on both sides with the goods being deposited by the lobbyists of the day.

Millard Fillmore was also a fan of slavery and an unscrupulous business shark.

They wouldn't sue to stop it. They would use it for political fodder while campaigning. They'd explain how they tried to do it legally and then decided to stop negotiating to life support the ACA and let it die a quicker death.

John kerry was a rather spectacular flip-flopper.....

My favorite campaign picture of him was during a senatorial race a few years back ...he was being towed down the street in a $750,000.00 bay cruiser with the sign over it that said. " John Kerry....for the common man "...

It was totally hilarious.

The GOP wouldn't sue to stop it. They'd use for political fodder on the campaign trail. If they knew what they were doing.

 

[justoffal]

The ACA is also a massive revenue stream...the largest in history aside from social security I think.

Once that money starts pouring into their laps...the politicians down in DC are going to forget all about partisan strife and just dive into pools full of cash. Both R and D will be passing out patronage jobs to their sons, daughters, wives, lovers and so on in the uber-massive bureaucracy that the ACA will create....in time they will see it in the light of their wallets and not in the light of their politics...... They will find reasons to get along...believe me.

O has used executive powers only when he had to Justy. And on signing statements? --- Junior still beats him by, well.. 112 to 20 in first term.

Me thinks you guys are getting all excited over next to nothing. All they did is put the deadline to Mar. 31 instead of Feb. 15 like it was supposed to be. Big freaking deal.

I'm wondering if the CBO is going to get this one right. The internet's memory is long. Their future credibility is on the line.

True... The smear campaign against John Kerry in 2004 was the apex of the GOP slime machine. It was Karl Rove's finest work. Even better than the N*****r baby campaign against John McCain in South Carolina back in 2000.

It's been pretty much all downhill for the GOP since then. The Tea Party created a dying gasp blip in 2010, but they've stepped into the uncanny valley now. They don't even seem real anymore. It's like watching a cartoon.

The article speaks to a year's delay.

Kerry was an easy target because he is a snob, a do nothing and a hypocrite who lives in the world of the billionaire while pretending to undrstand the common man...
He does not.

The sunuvabitch never visited a single veterans home in mass in all the years he monopolized that Senate seat...

Most recently he cheated Massachusetts out of 500k in excise taxes and got away with it too.

He's a piece of shit.
