Agree OR Disagree! Republicans will enjoy the benefits of Obama care while vilifying it?

[Dawson Leery]

Republicans will continually rail against the Affordable Care Act while accepting all of it's benefits?

Agree or Disagree?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Since hypocrisy is their middle name, they will do all of this!

[Shrike47]

2. Of course they will.

Keep your government hands off my Medicare!

[RevStPatrick]

3. I think this is a given.

They wouldn't be Republicans without the hypocrisy!

[Warpy]

4. When they find out the socialist bogeyman isn't gonna git 'em

they'll crow that the ideas were all theirs.

Later on, when problems show up and it needs a lot of work, they'll disown it again.

[elleng]

5. Absolutely no doubt about it.

Unfortunately as informing an electorate that would rather not spend its time on factual matters and is highly subject to repug propaganda are heavy tasks, Dems will be perceived by many as underdogs (until next census???)

[AlinPA]

6. Agree. The stupid drooling assholes don't have any ideas except those from Fox 'news'.

[demwing]

7. Hmmm...let me think...

Agreed. Oh yeah. Definitely.

[muntrv]

8. Pardon my ignorance, but isn't the Congressional health plan

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE?

[BlueCaliDem]

9. Agree. They enjoy the benefits of S.S., Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, unemployment, public schools

and good paying jobs . . . yet continue to vilify them or even claim that they're actually trying to strengthen them.

And the sheep keep voting for them.

10. Republican individuals are NOT the draconian republican leaders

and of course, like Lincoln, President Obama is working to unite America, regardless of the congress,
so that 80-20 will be the course.

People themselves will love President Obama's health care (I personally have already saved $19,200 out of pocket as a self employed 100% thanks to President Obama's plan) and people are all of America.

That the extremists in office don't like it, well, easy enough in 2014 and 2016 to render them politically obsolete at the voting booth, if they don't change their tune because the people will see how great it is in California and how great it is in NY and everywhere else and want it for themselves.

imho

LBJ once said "If tomorrow I walked across the Potomac River, the press would say LBJ don't know how to swim".
Same holds true with President Obama.
Life could be 100% great for everyone, and 20% will always find something to complain about.

[Raine1967]

13. Well perhaps Republican individuals need to stop electing these leaders.

and stop parroting the talking points.

Until then -- I would say they are complicit in the hypocrisy.

[graham4anything]

14. 24% becomes 50+% of the vote wins when only 40% of the people vote.

Look at South Carolina

Colbert-Busch lost because only 33% of the people voted total.
So that the extremist Sanford who beat her, won by 7.
IMHO, every vote that could have shown up but didn't might have been the more than 7% to get her elected.

When people don't bother to vote, when people protest, when people for whatever do whatever,
that let's the extremist win

An extremist can not get 40%(let alone 50%) of 100%.
However, an extremist can win when only 30-40% of the total number win

(meaning-had in Wisconsin enough people came out and voted against Walker,
Walker never would have won...same in all the other states.

And it takes Democratic voters to 100% come out and vote straight democratic.
Legally, constitutionally, people can do what they want.

[tularetom]

11. Not only that, they'll figure out a way to take credit for it

And they'll still blame it on Obama.

[Raine1967]

12. *WILL*? They have been enjoying the benefits rights from the start.

I disagree with the word *will* as is has been happening right from the beginning -- and even before ACA was passed.

[Populist_Prole]

15. Yeah, they will; but they'll also just trot out more reasons to hate him

Partisan animals they are.

[Arkana]

16. They do it with Medicare and Social Security.

What makes you think they won't do it with the ACA?

[Pragdem]

17. Frankly, I hope their irrational fear of death panels and doctors quitting mid-surgery...

Will keep them from seeking treatment.

[emulatorloo]

18. They'll probably take credit for it too

Once it is implemented and popular.

[Orsino]

19. Both.

I agree that they will continually wail, but I disagree with the wailing.

[KamaAina]

20. Um, yeah.
