And if they do not destroy it they want to de-fund it so no one can use it....which is just as bad. America will have a health care program in name only.
The great tanned one looked a bit defensive and sort of whistling pass the graveyard, however. I think he knows that Obama is coalition building, and if they do lose this election it may harbor bad things for the future of the party. The Republicans are not going to win on just an anti-health care agenda. The only people really upset are the base of the GOP and the Koch type millionaires. It is going to take much more than winning the disaffected Southern white vote next fall and guess what Romney does not play well there.
To be honest I think the more they talk about destroying Obama care the more they are shooting themselves in the foot. I mean I go out everyday and I just do not run into people complaining about Obama care....is it just my sheltered existence here in California?

So the budget reconciliation process will only happen if Obama is re-elected, eh? You may not have noticed, but both parties are already playing election year politics with the budget. Also, to what specifics can you direct me to demonstrate that the Obama has a track record on reducing the size of government or reducing the budget deficit?
