The Obamacare Throwdown – Let’s
Not Be Gutless Wonders
By
Bill S
August
14th, 2013
Don't
Blink. Let me be blunt.
If you are opposed to using the
Continuing Resolution to de-fund
Obamacare because you are afraid that conservatives and the GOP might
take the
blame in the media, then you are a political coward.
It’s
as simple as that.
Now
there’s a caveat here – if you have a better plan, bring it
forward and convince us that you have a different idea.
Thus far, all of the myriad of bills
passed
in the House have accomplished exactly nothing.
So what’s your plan for reversing course
on Obamacare? Do
you have a plan? Or
do you just plan to do the equivalent of
crawling into a fetal position in the closet and cowering in fear?
There
are a lot of folks floating around out there who prefer the
fetal position plan. They
moan about how
we’ll take the blame and we’ll look bad and the media will beat us up
and it
might hurt us in 2014. I
have heard a
couple of people using pithy platitudes like “it’ll collapse under its
own
weight”. Really? Just what exactly does
that mean? Do you
honestly think the Democrats will
simply say “Welp. It’s
not working. We
tried and failed. Guess
we’ll just let this one drop.” I
think not.
If nothing else, it’ll just get worse
(single-payer, anyone?).
If
the media beats us up….tough.
This is one place where we have to suck
it up and not be gutless
wonders.
Look,
we won on the sequester by holding firm and not giving
in. Lo and behold,
nothing happened. The
world didn’t come to an end, spending is
down, and the only ones whining about it still are the Democrats who
got their
butts whupped. They
are still trying –
unsuccessfully – to blame us, and Barack Obama tries laughable tactics
such as
telling the military that he’ll end across-the-board cuts. Pretty comical,
considering the sequester
cuts to the military were his idea.
Yet
the media has moved on and I would venture to say that not a single
Republican
2014 candidate will hear a word about it from anyone they care about
(ie.
anyone who would vote for them)...
