Could the GOP actually be
about to beat Obama?
Townhall – Kurt Schlichter –

SENATE REPUBLICANS MUST DE-FUND OBAMACARE, NOT DE-FEND OBAMACARE.
To pull this off, the GOP needs a little cunning – of which the establishment, at least, is in notoriously short supply. GOP leaders must get in front of every mic they can find with a unified, coherent message of reasonableness. Let’s keep it simple: “We implore the President to work with us, to compromise and help solve America’s problems together rather than refusing to speak with the people representing half our great nation.” Now, repeat that over and over and say nothing else.

Well, maybe a little
something else: “Mr. President, is your pride so important that you will force
this unready, untested Obamacare program onto the American people rather than
talk about working together to compromise on how we can keep America’s health
system the best in the world for America’s families?” Now cue those tears,
Speaker Boehner – tears for the children the President will deprive of a future
because he can’t admit he’s wrong.
Let’s let Obama be the one
making seniors eat Alpo, not paying our soldiers, and depriving the art world
of cowboy poetry slams. Yeah, eventually we’ll need to pass a bill that will
keep Obamacare alive a little while longer. But we should do it reluctantly,
sadly, loudly telling the American people how we tried to protect them but,
darn it, Obama was going to make seniors eat Alpo, not pay our soldiers, and
render America cowboy poetry slamless unless we relented – which we did, for
the children.
Let Obama beam with pride
between the Geritol ads on ABC, NBC and CBS as he takes full credit for
refusing to let the GOP stop the Obamacare nightmare from taking effect. Let
the Democrats running next year get on the record backing up their party’s
leader. The footage will make great campaign ads in 2014.
Sure, this plan is kind of
crazy but it just might work– if we understand the difference between our
short-term and long term objectives. And if they pull it off, Ted Cruz and
Company will have succeeded in manipulating Obama even more thoroughly than
Vladimir Putin did, which is saying something.
