The GOP is desperate to prevent the realization that government CAN make peoples' lives better.

Don't forget for people born after the mid-80s or so, Preznit Bush is the only Republican president they remember, and that is Not Good from the point of view of his party. If the Democrats score a major victory for ordinary people (even with, alas, all the ACA's flaws), and especially in the face of united, demented Republican opposition, it will be a major blow.

They know this. After all, as the esteemed Dr. Krugman has pointed out, if the ACA was as big a disaster as they claim they would let it be implemented--and then watch it implode.
