    It looks like some liberals are acknowledging the obamacare fail. Democrats are wetting their pants. The party is imploding. Liberal progs have never looked so silly as they have now. The only way out for any democrats to keep their job is to turn on obama. His approval rating keeps plumetting and he is taking them with him.

    The pendulum swings back and forth. How far it swings depends upon the extent that the previous power holders screwed everything up. I would expect a hard swing of that pendulum to the right. The Democrats, with control of most of our government, with the exception of the House, has created a lost economic decade, and they compunded their complete lack of managerial skill with overreaching on Obamacare, the stimulus, and the Dodd-Frank Act, all of which were proven to be utter disasters.

    The Republicans will take control and they will eventually aquire the arrogance of power and the pendulum will swing back. It is the natural order of things.

    The Democrats thought they had all the solutions, but as it turns out, it is now clear that they don't even understand the problems. The failure of the website is little more than the tip of the iceberg. Things are going to get worse and worse all the way up to the midterms.

    How are Obama's lies working out for you leftists? Is the thrill gone yet?

    This wasn't the 'come to Jesus' moment I was hoping for. I doubt they possess contrition or guilt. The column didn't offer much.

    With Obama's disapprovals and the disapprovals over Obombcare, I hope the people spank and punish Democrats hard in the coming elections..
    They have proven they will lie, mislead, change rules in the middle of the game just to pass something on the people in this country
    They need to be voted out of our lives and running our country..they are destroyers of us and our livelihoods.

    Democrats destroy...that is what they do. Then they offer rules, laws and regulations to try and solve the problems they created in the first place.

    Now I'm not too much an expert on Obamacare, so I only have a few words to say.
    1. Since the 80's, the pendulum has swung to the right, in fact we're actually where if we looked 100 years ago, an extreme (Last 100 was left wing, this time right wing)
    2. No one is saying the website was a success, but the things that make it up, people like them and want them. You can't say that ACA is a failure completely. People are signing up, and they will continue to sign up.

    Of course it can be labeled a complete failure. Have you not been paying attention? Obama made a lot of very specific promises about what it would do and we now know all those promises to be outright lies. It is absolutely failing to do what he and the rest of the Democrats promised it would do.

    On top of that, the number of people signing up is only a fraction of the worst case estimates (just look at Colorado).

    The system requires enough people to sign up or it will collapse under its own weight because you will have too many freeloaders and sick people who are more than willing to spend however much it takes to get their handouts and their preexisting conditions covered and not enough paying customers and healthy people to offset them.

    But by all means, continue to live in your fantasy world.

    No, it isn't. It's almost the entire enchilada for the right-wing Bushbots. A year from now, the nation will forget that the rollout was problematic.

    Indeed. The chicken little hysterics from the usual gang are laughable.
    But it's all they have to make themselves feel less impotent.

    The complaint against ObamaCare goes beyond a broken website.

    Try the lies that Obama and other dems told about "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep it. Period."

    A lie.

    Or, "If you like your doctor you can keep him. Period."

    Another lie.

    Or, "The average family will see premiums go down $2,500 a year."

    Yet another llie.

    LOL. Yeah. Democrats are scrambling. It's DEFCON red.

    Meanwhile, Obamacare has been available and successfully running long before October in states like California. Vermont has plans for fully-universal healthcare. As more and more people sign up each day, the chances of repealing Obamacare are as likely as repealing Medicaid or Medicare. People want their basic necessities guaranteed.

    Thanks for reminding me of yet another difference is between the right and the left. Keep it classy. :cool:

    The problem is people that don't pay taxes don't care how high tax rates go.

    The entitlement attitude of this country has never been worse IMO. In the name greed to save our own lives, we are controlling the skill of another. Our government is deciding what the value of a doctors skill is worth. How is that constitutional?

    SNIP:
    Democrats worry leaders in denial on Obamacare


    By ALEX ISENSTADT | 11/25/13 4:54 AM EST



    Democratic leaders claim the bungled launch of Obamacare is just the latest news sensation — a media-stirred tempest that looks in the heat of the moment like it could upend the midterm election, but ends up fizzling well before voters head to the polls.

    Some party strategists say they’re in denial.


    And that perceived gap between party spin and facts on the ground is fueling worries that the White House and Democratic higher-ups aren’t taking the possible electoral blowback seriously enough or doing enough to shield their candidates. Democratic contenders in the toughest races are distinctly less convinced that Obamacare will fade as an election-year issue — and they can’t afford to just cross their fingers that things get ironed out or that Republicans revert to political hara-kiri.

    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said at a forum hosted by BuzzFeed recently that the rollout won’t “hurt us in 2014,” adding that “we’re proud” of the law. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, in a recent appearance on CNN, went so far as to assert that Obamacare would be “an advantage” for Democratic candidates next year.

    ROFL you think this is just about the broken website, which even Time magazine panned them about? The entire concept is flawed in case you haven't heard.
