RepubliCONs talk about Obamacare as if...

...if is a total failure.

Sean Spicer (who I hate with a passion and if we ever have a civil war, he's on my shit list) just mentioned "the failure of Obamacare" will not serve Dems well in 2014 and will help cons. He wasn't talking in the future sense, he's convinced that Obamacare is already a failure - even though the facts say otherwise.

So if they only talk like it is a failure, then some/many will start to believe it and then repeated. Thus is born the great deception.

It had glitches on implementation and the Medicare Act makes the ACA look like a Reader's Digest magazine.

Because they want it to fail they will use any glitches or issues to discredit the entire program. I believe that in 20 years there will be a discussion about single-payer but the ACA will "work". It isn't perfect but it will achieve some of its objectives, however flawed.
