A Plan Going Forward

Now that many Democrats up for re-election next year have suddenly decided to become bomb-strapping gun-wielding terrorists and agitate for a delay in the Obamacare implementation the question is what to do to make sure everybody knows that they OWN this shit sandwich. I like Ace’s plan

Permit a delay, but with two important caveats:

1. The entire law must be functioning and in place by August 1, 2014 — three months before the election — or else it lapses immediately. It just sunsets. It’s done.

This includes the employer mandate, which has been delayed until after the elections. The whole shebang must be in place and operational as of August 1, 2014, or bye-bye to it all. No more suspensions, no more delays. If the law isn’t in operation in full by its own terms it self-repeals on August 1, 2014.

2. The law is also amended to include a sunset provision, which makes it expire August 2016. If the law is as popular as Obama claims it will be, Democrats should have no problems whatsoever whipping up support for re-authorization three months before the 2016 presidential elections. Right?

Hey, it’s a Common Sense Solution™ to a problem!

The Republicans show that they are “reasonable” and willing to work with the other side but make darn sure everyone knows that this disaster was completely forced upon people by the Democrats.

    I like it!

    I like even more the idea that’s been going around (for years) about a Constitutional Amendment basically stating that Congress shall pass no laws that they are exempted from… (I’m sure you’ve gotten the emails too.)

    One of the few e-mail pass-arounds I actually like. (I consider most of them spam – especially when I get them with CC: 100+names…sigh.)

    The problem is: I read Mein Kampf…Are we trying to get to the truth? Or is it just circle jerking stuff?
    Hitler said in the 1920s that that the US would control
    the Western Hemisphere until the non- Aryans in the US out-numbered the Aryans.Then the US would collapse. Excuse me???? sounds like Hitler was right.Blow my nose, I’m a TRUTH seeker.

    well, i’ve yet to see anything that Hitler had right other than by pure undeserved luck so it’s best to leave him out of all conversations.
