GOP congressman: It would be irresponsible to let Obamacare fail -

In a radio interview on Monday, Georgia Republican Congressman Jack Kingston deviated from Republican Party orthodoxy and argued that simply standing pat and watching Obamacare crumble would not be the “responsible” thing to do.
Kingston made his argument while defending his “Small Business Fairness in Obamacare Act,” a bill that would exempt some businesses with more than 50 employees from Obamacare’s employer mandate. Some conservatives, Kingston said, have criticized the bill for aiming to improve — rather than simply repeal — Obamacare.
“And there’s some criticism, ‘Well, are you helping improve this law when you make that change? And should we be doing that?’” Kingston said. ”A lot of conservatives say, ‘Nah, let’s just step back and let this thing fall to pieces on its own.’ But I don’t think that’s always the responsible thing to do.”
“I think we need to be looking for things that improve healthcare overall for all of us. And if there is something in Obamacare, we need to know about it. If you get a lot of letters that say, ‘Hey, back off, it works. I have a special needs child and here’s why its been good for me,’ we want to listen to that,” Kingston said.
wow will wonders cease to happen.  one difference they are not sitting back and letting anything on it's own they are full speed ahead from 2008 trying to convince people that to have healthcare from this Pres. is an abomination to them.
oop's were we duped,
Kingston was speaking prior to a field hearing in Gainesville, Ga., of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight focused on ObamaCare.
While he had some criticism for the law — he said he believes the demand on Medicaid could overcrowd the system — he also expressed hope that Democrats would bring to the hearing some good feedback they've received on ObamaCare.
"If you get a lot of letters that say, 'Hey, back off, it works. I have a special needs child and here's why its been good for me,' we want to listen to that," he said.
A Kingston spokesman, Chris Crawford, said in an email to The Hill that Kingston was advocating for a replacement for the law in his interview.
"He essentially said that we don't just need to wait for Obamacare to die under its own weight, we need to be looking for solutions that would replace it," he said.
Kingston has repeatedly voted to repeal ObamaCare, and supported the government shutdown strategy that was pushed by conservatives to defund the law.
so was that a schmooze or a gaffe i'm still spinning around in a circle caught completely off guard?  this is how easy it is to be fooled and they know it.  i almost feel like a concentrated on one.
G W Bush, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on"
