Freedom Works (the self proclaimed representative of the Tea Parties) sent out an email on Feb 1, 2011 over the signature of Dick Army that states: “Our latest intel indicates that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to offer a Repeal Obamacare amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill today!”
All the media are covering it …including FOX … as if this is some big deal. And that is exactly what Obama wants them to do.
If Harry Reid does not want the repeal vote to go to the floor of the Senate, then the Republicans cannot force it. So if it does go to the floor, then it must be because Harry and Obama want it to happen.
Look at the current situation.
The Tea Parties are beating the snot out of Democrats.
All the exemptions to Obamacare are being exposed.
All the imbedded taxes in Obamacare are being exposed.
The law suits that challenge Obamacare are headed to the Supreme Court which will make a decision in 2012 just before the elections.
OK folks, this is my prediction: Harry will act like he cannot stop the repeal vote in the Senate and the Senate will approve the repeal. Then Obama will complain, but will eventually sign the repeal. No veto.
What makes me say this? Because the fix is in!
And guys like Mitch McConnell are part of it. The media is part of it.
Already the media is showing clips of Obama from 2008 where Obama claims that he did not want mandatory insurance. Obama will now claim that he never wanted mandatory insurance, but that was the only way to get the legislation passed.
This action will keep Obamacare from going to the Supreme Court and potentially embarrassing Obama and Democrats. It will take the spotlight off the exemptions and the added taxes. It allows Obama to claim that things have changed from 2008 and that he is just doing the will of the people by signing the repeal. His signature on the repeal will make him appear as a centrist. And most of all … it deals a major blow to the Tea Parties.
Without Obamacare, the Tea Parties will lack a central issue to demonize Obama and Democrats in 2012. Then if Obama actually cuts government spending and deficits, the wind will be taken totally out of the Tea Parties’ sails.
The old line guys like McConnell don’t want the Tea Parties. They can’t control them (remember that McConnell wanted to continue earmarks until the Tea Parties pressured him). So of course McConnell is cooperating with Reid and Obama to use methods for repeal that make it look like Reid cannot not stop it. And Dick Army and Freedom Works are playing right into it with “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to offer a Repeal Obamacare amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill today!” … which makes it sound like McConnell is doing something that Reid cannot stop.
These Republicans are cooperating with Obama by repealing Obamacare. No Supreme Court ruling. No stipulation by the Supreme Court about the limitations of Congress. No embarrassment for Democrats. No issue for the Tea Parties in 2012.
Obama will be able to claim that he tried to help the disadvantaged with healthcare reform as he challenges the
Republicans to come up with something better. Republicans will be able to claim that they got Obamacare repealed.
Republicans and Democrats all get things that they want … and most of all; they all get rid of the Tea Parties.
Without this going to the Supreme Court, Americans are the ones who lose. How will we the people find out the limitations of Congress?
What a bunch of con men!
