They control the House because of gerrymandering. House Democrats received a million more votes nationwide than House Republicans. House Republicans lost seats. House Democrats gained seats. Democrats gained seats in the Senate and retained the White House. The people sent a clear message back in November.
I'm starting to think the GOP is going to have, at most, a razor thin majority in the House come next year. Most losses will be in the purple districts

At first I thought they could keep this behavior up and not pay any price until 2016, but now I'm starting to think they will lose more seats in 2014.
Looking at another way maybe the {R} are doing the will of the people since polls show a majority does not support Obamacare. What is left in Obamacare? with all the waivers and bussiness getting a free pass that leaves those that can not afford HC insurance paying the fine. Even with the gvt kicking in there will still be many who will fall through the cracks. Also maybe the {R}s want them to come up with the funding besides running up debt.

Then why did Obama win if people wanted it repealed. Romney ran on repealing it. He lost. Also, repealing Obamacare would increase the deficit.

I'm pretty sure when the people start seeing the benefits of Obamacare and the petty bourgeoisie stop having babies over the law because Limbaugh and Hannity told them to crap their pants and lay off people, people will start to see it wasn't the doom and gloom that the right wing predicted it would be. Then the GOP would definitely lose in 2016

That's the whole point of trying kill it before it takes off. Republicans in DC are fighting it tooth and nail and in the states controlled by the GOP they are putting up any roadblock they can. Why? They're afraid people will benefit from the law and like it.

The GOP is **** scared that the American people will finally learn that healthcare is not a commodity to be bought and sold, but a right. The poor have healthcare, the rich have it, the upper middle class have it, how about cutting a break for those of us who are too sick to be insured, and those of us that fall between well off and make too much money to qualify for Medicaid? How about cutting those people a break? The subsidies will work, and will be much cheaper than what the wingnut scare machine is throwing out. You can already check prices on the several states that have their exchanges up, it's a lot cheaper per month than what employers and employees pay

Yup. If the law actually was terrible, the GOP would simply sit back and let it all happen, blame the Democrats, and win more elections.
