And the best part is, they're so bent out of shape about Obamacare, they won't even notice when we implement Phase II, and turn the federal government over to the United Nations.

This is really a fantasy scenario? If I'm counting correctly, even if the Repos won <i>every</i> Democratic seat that is up (21), that would give them 66 Senators.

So it looks to me like the 2nd Amendment is a necessary part of the plan.

(As a kid, I got a hold of one of my Grandpa's textbooks from 1920s medical school in Kansas. It stated both of the above as undisputed science facts.)

I really, really hope that the name "Obamacare" sticks for decades, to annoy future generations of Republitards.

Or ... they could voluntarily decline their government health insurance and try the open market. That would be "vote with their feet" against the horrors of Obamacare and socializms.

<blockquote>The breach became painfully visible to conservative insiders on a private listserv this week when a top aide to Senator Ted Cruz exchanged a series of terse and combative emails — obtained by BuzzFeed — over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s attempt to change the law’s treatment of patients with pre-existing conditions.</blockquote>

Really, the particular part of the Act they <em>most</em> want to fuck with, even the ones that have <em>finally</em> read the 60-foot-high writing on the wall about full repeal, is the most and most deservedly popular part? Wow, do they want everyone to hate them? Do they want to lose all of the elections?
