I am a Republican and I have issues with Obamacare since I believe it should be a state to state decision ala Romneycare. It's not a federal responsibility to provide healthcare. It's a federal power grab I am uncomfortable with. However I disagree with shutting down the gov't. We lost an election that was essentially a referendum on the issue. This is still a democracy right?<br /><br />I don't believe in shutting down the gov't, I believe in WINNING ELECTIONS. The GOP is the minority party right now. We need to work on our arguments so we get the majority to see things our way, not shut down gov't in a tantrum then gloat about it. <br /><br />Ron Beitlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733220566253915497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-13341210446881316182013-10-01T09:46:58.838-04:002013-10-01T09:46:58.838-04:00The left forced Obamacare on the right and the Ame...The left forced Obamacare on the right and the American people. Now they wonder why we elected so many to congress? It is for them to do their job and not give this president everything he wants. Good for them. One of them actually said the right should be helping them with this. They are really ridiculous. Where were they when not one person on the right could have any input into this. Obama is a street fighter and we have never had so many terrorist attacks with Americans being killed. So many scandals where Americans were killed and he has 3 more years. Who is next I wonder? They are here and they mean business. Thank you Obama. Google terrorist maps. We are growing them instead of food. And why would the left side with a religious group who behead gays and Christians. A Christian can change but a gay cannot according to them.

Obama should happily be the first one to sign up for his healthcare plan. Then Michelle, the senate and congress should follow. When Obama, said you can keep your plan and your doctor I guess he was talking to them and not us. It was not too long ago most people were tea party types. The weirdos are now lose and are showing real hatred for their moms, dads and grandparents. We just need to show them for who they are. Yes I'll take the responsible woring self sufficient types over the haters, complainers and the takers. One in the same as we all see. They don't like it when we learn from them.

His comments on abortion, ACA and now the budget put him at odds with his party base. His district picked up some really conservative areas where his roots are not as deep. While I respect and appreciate his efforts, he might need to be looking over his shoulder watching for a primary challenge. We've seen R's knocked off in primaries for much much less.
