Republicans: Was your Obstrucionist tactic a good one?

[Devil505]

With not one single GOP vote for the hc bill (which is now Law)...In hindsight....was your party's "Just Say No"....tactic a good one? Do you think it helped your party's chances in future elections?

It is horrible legislation that will do nothing it claims to do and will damage the nation. This is not about getting elected, its about the survival of America.

I recall Repubs saying that about Bill Clinton being elected too. Never cry wolf.

You missed the point of the objection. If a thing is wrong, you fight it.

Shoot, you KNOW its bad when Snowe won't touch it.

If they weren't included in the debates or taken seriously.. that falls squarely on the great communicator.

The dems did not need any Republicans since they had majorities. They had pressure from within their own party, and if Obama didn't buy off so many of them, it would have failed.

Not really. The GOP proved they were always negotiating in bad faith.

I think we'll start to see individual Repubs breaking ranks with their party's leaders..... who have demanded that each of them sign the suicide pact that the RNC has distributed.
Does anyone here really believe you guys can win back Congress or the WH without any minority group support, independents or moderate Repubs?

....At least, that's how your Reps "packaged" that hustle.

...Especially when people are keeping-track.....​

No...You know that RNC threats to members is iron fisted. What is really proves is that Repubs in Congress are not allowed to think for themselves.

Gee....which part of "NO!!" didn't you GOP-fans understand?

​

 

[chestnut]

Your talking about heavy handed RNC. What about Pelosi , Reid and Obama, forcing the democrats to vote for a bill their constutients were agains.

With bribes and intimidation. I think you need to call out the "progressive" of the democrat party. It's them who is hijacking this country and running it in the ground.

What in the hell will everyone do when there is no more money to steal? Or if the majority of the US workforce is Govt. Where's the tax money coming from then?

 

[samsara15]

The public is not against Health Reform, chesnut. Many of them hoped for a stronger bill, not the weakened bill that passed. You Cons are trying to enforce lynch mob law. You have become lawless manipulators of violence prone people. Obama is not undermining the Constitution, you are, by refusing to accept that you have lost power and appealing to the mob.

Maybe the health-insurance-companies will be willing to lend some of it, back-to-us??

(Yeah....sure.... )​
