According to some, Barack Obama’s most infamous piece of legislation is now crippling under the weight of its own cost, complexities and illegal mandates. If conservative Republicans make gains in both the House and Senate in 2014, Obamacare could actually be effectively rolled back into a mere shadow of it’s intended purpose.
Critical Condition
Conservatives were right about ObamaCare, a lefty website concedes.
…Kapur’s argument amounts to the following: Democrats passed a law that had and still has insufficient public support (points 1 and 4), that cannot achieve its goals without unconstitutional means (point 2), that did not allocate the necessary resources to accomplish its objectives (point 3), and that lacks and still lacks even minimal support across the political aisle (all four points).

I sent the link to the article to Republican Insider with the following question: “Legit?” and here is the response I just got back from them:
Presently it is primarily Republican governors across the nation who are collectively providing the strongest resistance and challenge to Obamacare. If the 2014 Midterms were to provide a few more such governors, and many more conservative Republican members of Congress, then that resistance could quickly grow into outright legislative reversal of many if not all of the Obamacare mandates. The four points laid out in the article are all legit and currently challenging the law right now.
I told you last month that there was a real movement happening inside the party led by a more newly elected generation of Republicans. Figures like Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rand Paul, and Senator Tim Scott, as well as several fantastic governors like Governor Nikke Haley and Governor Scott Walker who are doing amazing work pushing back against the liberal agenda in their own states. All of this could easily come together in another very influential midterm election in 2014. The Republican roster is really starting to look very strong. Certainly as strong as I’ve seen it in quite some time, with some incredible representation among women and minorities despite the false portrayal that continues to be attempted by the Mainstream Media.
Now here is even better news. The Republican leadership is starting to face that reality. Either they get on board with this movement, or they will be overtaken by it. They will either be part of the solution, or looked on as part of the problem and face a primary challenger with announcements beginning as soon as this summer.
I’m not going to promise that Obamacare will be repealed, that would be a very tall order, though how great would that be? I do think it is very possible that we see Obamacare reduced greatly in size and scope to where it barely resembles the original bill or the Obama administration’s intentions, which I would consider in incredibly positive thing for the American people.
Nice to hear from you. Read the WH update. (*NOTE: RI meant to say WHI update) Interesting as always! Don’t know about you but sure sounds like they are willing to get back in the game. At least part time.

White House Insider: Words From A Washed Up Tired Old Political Operative – and then some…
On the effects of Obamacare’s increasing medical cost, my husband got a letter yesterday from STRS (CA teacher retirement group) that his Long Care Health payment would be going up 85 percent!!! He has been paying in for 10 years. Now suddenly the cost is going to be nearly doubled. I am wondering how this connects with the Obamacare goal of having long term care for everyone–at least 50% of whom cannot afford it. So those of us who have been responsible about our retirement costs will obviously be paying for all those who can’t. Another form of redistribution of wealth. It’s very disturbing. I wonder what the fallout will be on this announcement from others who have paid in for years.
Jan, for all the rhetoric surrounding the “Class Act” Pelosi initiated. HHS backed off the provision within a year of ObamaCare being signed into law due to “undo financial cost.”
In the “fiscal cliff” deal, repeal actually happened:
“Mr. Obama halted the program, saying he couldn’t find a way to make it cost-effective. But he had objected when Republicans tried to repeal it outright, saying he wanted to keep it on the books and try to amend it rather than kill it. But he did an about-face this week, accepting repeal in exchange for raising tax rates on the wealthiest”

Keep praying that this horrible law dies a thousand cuts through systematic amendments, repeal actions, and even the USSC’s return to sanity.
Conservatives MUST CAPTURE the SENATE in 2014-The time for establishment Republicans is LONG-PAST…They spend to much-care to little,and make to much money off “We the people”,in the beginning NOBODY got paid,it was their DUTY to Serve…and people were HONORED to do just that……..The driving FORCE that will make-sure we do capture the Senate,is the CRAP Gun grab Obama is trying to pass…That is going to cost both sides…
Agreed that the time for establishment Republicans to be gone is long past. Reinstating Justin Amash and the other liberty caucus members to their positions would go a long way in proving that things have changed.
I hope RI doesn’t overlook other members of the Republican Liberty Caucus besides Rand Paul, Nikki Haley.
To see exactly how far we have yet to go visit the Republican Liberty Caucus website and take a peek at the lack of Federal Level officeholders who are a part of the caucus. The encouraging thing is the number of state office holders who are members of the caucus. I hope that this caucus continues to grow and strengthen…this is where the future of the party lies.
Justin Amash doesn’t stand for liberty, and neither do you Libertarian traitors.
Stop making it a Republican/Democrat Paradigm because it really isn’t. This is just window dressing for the masses. The real culprits sit inside and manipulate the masses pitting one against the other all the while both ‘Teams’ collude and bring our country into the abyss. If these so-called Republicans were really interested in our constitution and standing up in support of it, you would see men of honor rise up in defense of our Republic. Instead, what you have are RINO’s falling all over themselves trying to be more like Liberal Democrats and closing ranks shoulder-to-shoulder with their counter-parts (co-conspirators) in enslaving the citizenry by bait and switching party platforms.
It is not Democrat vs. Republican but rather tyranny vs. tyranny-lite. The approval rating of congress just shows just how out of touch with their constituents they have become. Bathhouse Barry, and his criminal co-conspirators deserve long, long prison sentences with several deserving even harsher sentences.
If people continue to get caught up in the minutia of simplistic politics then simpleton sheeple will continue to receive what they most richly deserve.
Perhaps we won’t have to wait until 2014 to see the death of ObamaCare!!

Obama Eligibility Case At Supreme Court Requested To Move To Oral Arguments
OBAMA RELEASE YOUR RECORDS ON 3:18 PM |
Obama Eligibility Case Requested To Move
To Oral Arguments At US Supreme Court
By Tim Brown @ Freedom Outpost
This is just wishful thinking unless and until John Boehner is ousted as Speaker. He has been there too long and sold his soul long ago. Pity.
This is wishful thinking, unless and until John Boehner is ousted as speaker. He has been entrenched in Washington too long and sold his soul along the way. What a pity.
Hope for the midterms is a nice thought but don’t you think the same thing can happend then as it did in the 2012 election of BO? Election corruption isn’t limited to presidential elections. And I think we can forget any results from the 2016 run of either Rubio or Paul. Either Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton will be our next president. It absolutely galls me to say these things but I believe I’m correct in saying so. We no longer have a vote.
Finally some Voter Fraud has come to the forefront!!
Students feared that it would effect their grades if they did not pledge to vote for Obama/ebysan

College: Fire professor who forced students to vote for Obama
A tenured professor who forced her students to sign pledges that they would vote for President Obama last November should be fired, the College President recommended.
Sharon Sweet, an associate professor of mathematics at Brevard Community College in Florida, is guilty of electioneering, harassment, and incompetence, according to a three-month investigation into her classroom behavior leading up to the November election. The Board of Trustees will hold a hearing on the matter, and then vote on whether to adopt President James Richey’s recommendation that Sweet be fired.
Excerpts:
sign a pledge card that stated, ‘I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket.’ She also misrepresented her intentions to multiple students, indicating at various times that she was conducting voter registration for the college, that the pledge cards were non-partisan voter registration forms, and that the pledge was a ‘statistical analysis.’”
_____________________________________
Sweet created hostile environment for students, since many feared their grades would be affected if they did not sign the pledge. She remains on paid leave until the board votes to fire her.
