Win Win

[fairsheet]

Seriously?

What do they call it? Winning challenged?

As I recall is was touted as a 'Republican Tsunami'

And you're saying that the Democrats didn't 'lose'?

Yeah...okay.

American support for the GOP in general and the Tea Party specifically, peaked on election day 2010. It was all ready in decline - per all the polling, including Rasmussen's - by the time the GOP House was "inaugurated" in January of 2011. We would be hardpressed to find ANY objective political observer, who would suggest that the TP/GOP House, has had a positive influence on the fortunes of the GOP or GOP policy. In fact, the consensus appears to be that the GOP House has represented a rather historic net negative for GOPism.

In MY book - that's a win for Obama and the Democrats.

Funny,most of the organizations have agreed with the Obama comprimise.At this point the only c
ones still complaining are a few old Bishops,who have the boot as you call it on their necks from Republicans and those who hate everything Obama does no matter how good.

Oh, I get it.

Obama and the Socialcrats win if they lose?

LOL...neither MSBNC nor CNN have 'mo money'

Curious, would have used the term 'mo money' if Juan wasn't *ahem* black?

Obama didn't offer a compromise. He merely offered to take the Church's name off of what they would still be providing. Many of these organizations are self insured. They may use insurance companies to do the paperwork, but themselves pay out every claim.

Further, even those who don't self insure will still be providing this by paying the premiums that WILL cover the cost of these claims.

Fairsheet, I don't know what you're talking about with what I wish, but I don't think you do, either.

Gigi says, """If Obama doesn't get his boot off the Church's throat, they'll be forced to abandon health insurance coverage, and possibly close healthcare facilities. They've already said they would have to do this if he doesn't let up."""

I hereby apologize to gigi for suggesting that this is her wish. It IS on the other hand, utter baloney that suggests The Church in a nasty, hateful, and punitive light that is beneath contempt. It's bad enough that some Fox-shills, Catholics-for-hire, and assorted non-Catholics would ascribe such anti-Christianess to The Church, but it 10x worse when an actual Catholic stoops to it.

It would make more sense for the Catholic who's supportive of The Bishop's political position on this one to say something like, "The Bishops are mad as hell but...they would never EVER allow their pique to negatively impact upon "innocents" in need of healthcare".
