Public option : Democrats :: Health care repeal : Republicans
Given the past history of what tea party members have successfully been led to believe, free of any factualy basis, I highly doubt that.
We are talking very low wattage here. Very low.
I don’t think many of the people who carry signs with more misspelled words than my wife’s middle school student papers have a tight grasp on the separation of powers outlined in the constitution. Despite their supposed devotion to the document.
There is a significant percentage of Tea Party fanatics not so dim as to be completely unable to grasp the pointlessness of the attempt, the content of the constitution, the way the legislature works, the outlines of the reality based world or that it makes no sense to demand that the government keep its hands off their medicare.
Interesting fact about Tea Party Godess Palin. She claims that Reagan is her hero and also that she reads everything y she can get her hands on so you’d think she might have read about that hero of hers in some depth. Apparently she hasn’t read anything beyond a few quotes and slogans since she thought Reagan was born and raised in California. Heck, I know more about GW who is certainly no hero of mine.
Guess ignorance, real hatred for people who know stuff, even about the people and things they claim to love and support, is the real Tea Party core value. So the overwhelming majority very likely are all for repeal of the whole health care reform bill without a clue what’s in it and no interest in making a serious attempt to find out.
actually believe health care was repealed because the House votes that way?
Depends on what Rush tells ’em.
Not only the trillion in low/mid-income subsidies, but the funding of the necessary bureaucracy (as they’re doing to stifle financial reform). THIS repeal won’t get enacted, but showing a majority in favor of a wholesale repeal supports their claim to a House majority supporting holding up funding — which they’ll do on threat of not raising the debt ceiling. They may well win.
The national award for posturing?
if they’re able to wreck health care implementation out of the gate.
Raymond is right, this is a real threat to HCR and, as the vote shows, Republicans haven’t made any peace with the legislation.
The more Republicans can recreate the shouting and upset over HCR this year, the more they can say “look, even the process is all messed up too, the Democrats can’t do anything right.” Keep the focus off the actual benefits of the law, and undermine the benefits Congress has to pay to enact, and it’ll keep looking like a failure to enough voters.
So if I read your comment right, it’s about framing the debate. So…posturing. Got it.
Since the use of the word “posturing” usually implies “empty” and “just for show,” then I disagree with your characterization. They’re still playing for keeps here, even if this is just the first salvo.
Are we done yet ’cause I kind of want to head to the bar…it’s Friday, you know.
and I’m heading out too, but I’m not Raymond, as I’m pretty sure you know.
The new Republican House leadership clearly do not care about people.
I remind you of the title you just wrote:
Your statement is true. Red or blue doesn’t seem to matter.
