They like to call Obama the dictator, but think about it:
ACA was passed legally, per the Constitutional process, through the House, Senate, and White House. And it withstood Supreme Court review.
Boehner and his buddies have not mustered the electoral support to pass anything through the legislative process. They are a minority and are using threats against our livelihoods to try to dictate what they want.
And we know that most Americans strongly disapprove of what they are doing, even more than they disapprove of Obama and the Democrats, so they are clearly not interested in representing the "will of the people."
So who's the one trying to be the dictator: the one who went through the Constitutional process and achieve a valid result, or the one unilaterally demanding that the majority do certain things under the threat of national economic recession?

Their behavior is just infuriating! Clearly, SELF-INTEREST exceeds any other interest.... their self-interest in getting re-elected. Hopefully every single one of them will lose in the next election and they will then get what they deserve....no more cushy political job. Certainly at some point, these old Tea Party folks will pass on of old age. Unfortunately, that won't happen before Oct. 17th.
rubbish. the republicans were tasked with getting rid of obamacare otherwise they would not have been elected to office, and given majority control of the house. and since when is fighting bad law now a bad thing to do? obamcare is bad law in so many ways. it is unworkable and the democrats know it.

I guess you were for slavery too. That was passed and upheld by the Supreme Court. Were the Republican abolitionists in congress "terrorists" or "dictators" for not agreeing and working to get the law changed?

They're not doing the will of the people?
Were you laughing when you wrote that?!?? You must have been, because it's a terrible joke.

Newsflash: having the majority of the House does not give you a mandate to get rid of Obamacare.
Having sufficient electoral support across the House, Senate, and/or White House does. Why they work on that part...
Also, if people annointed the conservative nutjobs in the House to crash the economy unless they got their way, then how come most people HATE them - even more than they hate Obama and the Democrats?
Clearly, what you're saying is rubbish as it does not square with reality.
As Washington braces for another budget showdown, this time with the threat of defunding the new healthcare law in the mix, the key political force pushing for conservative policies sees diminished popular support. Fewer Americans now describe themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement than did at the height of the movement in 2010, or even at the start of 2012. Today's 22% support nearly matches the record low found two years ago.
Public opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to the GOP strategy. Republican Sen. John McCain tweeted a Quinnipiac poll Tuesday morning that shows 72 percent of Americans oppose Congress "shutting down major activities of the federal government" as a way to stop the Affordable Care Act from going into effect.
