On Thursday night’s edition of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow relished the current disarray among D.C. Republicans over the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare.”
Maddow prefaced the segment with the same warning that runs before MSNBC’s popular prison shows: “Due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised.”“Okay, now you have been warned,” said Maddow. “Now, here’s Dana Bash on CNN.”She then played a clip of Bash saying the now-infamous quote of a House Republican aide saying that Texas state Rep. Wendy Davis (D) has “more balls than Ted Cruz.”“That is the way that Republicans in Washington are talking about each other now,” Maddow said, which is ironic considering that back in 2009, when the future of Democratic health care reform was in doubt, Republicans were full of hubris.“If we can stop him on this,” said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) at the time, “it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”
ok we've seen this before in PA. and voter ID's they pledge to do something that does nothing to forward our advancement they have been wrong each time they have embarked on a scheme to obliterate the Pres., but he seems to deny them their celebration each time without a lot of help from his own party at times are they bigots too?
“The Republicans and the conservatives did not get that Waterloo,” Maddow said. “Health reform passed. It became law. It got ruled constitutional by the United States Supreme Court and it’s now going into effect.”“And now the political effect of health reform does turn out to be the aforementioned Waterloo,” she continued, “but the side that is breaking apart is not President Obama’s side. It is the other side.”As pragmatic Republicans try to find a graceful way to allow Obamacare to progress unimpeded, the tea party caucus is trying to engineer a government shutdown rather than let the law go into effect. As a result, the two sides are hurling furious invective at each other.
they should have stuck to their plan that if all the obstructionist are not lockstep they will not even acknowledge it or bring it to the floor, we still would have known they tend to spring leaks on stage in front of cameras and the mike each one trying to be noticed and they are as the most buffoonish characters on that side of the great divide.
