Hey Gang! The Intellectual Heavyweights at the NATIONAL REVIEW have a really neato new idea...

Repeal Obamacare
By The Editors

Liberals had hoped, and some conservatives had feared, that the legislative Frankenstein’s monster known as Obamacare would become more popular as its sundry measures were implemented. But the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is no more popular now than when it was passed, as Americans have come to realize that it will neither protect patients nor provide for affordable care. While full repeal of the law is not within the realm of short-term political reality — the presence of Barack Obama in the White House and a Democratic majority in the Senate ensures that — repeal should nonetheless remain the end goal, either one piece at a time for now or root and branch.

Remember, the GOP's problem isn't the message, it's the messenger.....

Republicans made a critical error during the debate over Obamacare when they left the impression that they approved of the U.S. health-care system. In truth, that system was deeply defective before Obamacare was passed, marred by expensive and poorly designed entitlements on the one end and on the other by a tax preference for employer-based insurance that left millions of Americans either uninsured or entrapped by the threat of losing their insurance by losing their jobs

since it's inception and will do the same with the affordable care act.
