re: #47 EPR-radar

There is nothing wrong with the GOP making repeal of Obamacare its only platform plank. If they get control of the House, Senate and presidency with sufficient numbers to repeal the law, then it is gone.

What is illegitimate about the GOP’s antics is to try to use control of only the House to accomplish the same end via hostage taking.

Right, they tried in 2012 and lost. They dont think they will have any more chances now that the ACA has been implemented.
They now think it is OK to use sabotage, hostage taking, brinkmanship and maybe even civil war to achieve their goals.
