More Obamacare fuckups

[cwolff]

So I have a question... there are a bunch of Dems now asking for a 1 year delay in the individual mandate. Obama has even hinted that he may be willing to have a delay in it.

Does this mean, that WHEN they delay the individual mandate, Repubs can basically say.. "Dem's kept the government shutdown for 2 weeks for no reason now".

Kinda makes you laugh, "No Negotiations!!...... but wait 1 month and I will do it anyway"

No dude. It doesn't mean that at all. The Gov't shutdown was to defund all of the ACA. The mandate is something that people discussed targeting but the republicans never achieved a level of organization to make that their one demand. There was another thing going on too and that's precedent. If you think a sitting president is going to weaken the presidency like that you're smoking crack. Why penalize people if they are incapable of getting insurance through no fault of their own? That makes no damn sense at all.

I know you guys just say/repeat this stuff because it's argumentative and fits your partyline. Don't you ever think objectively though? You have all this freedom to think for yourself, to learn, to read up on issues yet you never get above the basest bullshit.
