What will the GOP switch to complaining about NEXT? They hated the ACA, but then they complained that the website for the program they hated didn't work! Now that the site is running well, whatever will they do?

Maybe they'll go back to "He's from Kenya!" Yeah, that's the ticket....

Besides, Republicans can always say experiences vary greatly. They tried or their neighbor or secretary tried and it was just awwwwful.

They can do that AND find another complaint as well.

No one charges politicians by the lie.

And, when in doubt, socialism is the default.

corporatist!

The right wing LOVED them when they were trashing the ACA site:

http://www.libertarianrepublican.net/2013/10/uh-oh-when-youve-lost-consumer-reports.html

(pardon that truly FOUL link, mind you....)

But now that they're championing it, they're bullshit at the exact same outfit that they were lauding before!

I think they're neither fish nor fowl--they do business with the WAPO and the Wall St. Journal--I don't think they're terribly political at all.

even the L.A. Times had a front page article dogging the ACA website.
I feel like the L.A. Times kind of followed rank and file with this. I saw one positive article on the front page a couple weeks ago, and the rest was negative. Which is fine, if it isn't working, but they are missing the point: it's not JUST about the friggin' website.
