Defunding Robertscare

Unless you’re an elected Republi-Rat, at some point you have to fight.  But the Rat strategy - it seems - is to ALWAYS run away to fight, uh, er, make that run away to uh run away another day.  They are the Brave, Brave Sir Robins of American politics.

Rat political smart guy Karl Rove is the chief “architect” of the Rat run away, and away, and away, and away strategy.  Rove Agrees that Robertscare is the worst most threatening legislation to the American way of life – but because of potential political fallout, Rove then boldly advised the Republicans to do nothing about it during debt ceiling negotiations because of that pesky potential political fallout.  The welfare of the party, after all, trumps the welfare of the country.

That’s sort of like Washington deciding the water was too cold to cross the Delaware and instead decides to husband his army for another opportunity or Eisenhower wanting to give operations in Italy more time for success before crossing the English Channel or MacArthur deciding the amphibious assault on Inchon too risky preferring instead to slug it out around the Pusan perimeter.

Karl Rove’s advise will always be to wait for a better opportunity.  And if one does not present itself for 10 years into Roberscare well that’s better than getting a bloody nose fighting the good fight.

Note to Karl and like minded Rats, with great risk comes great reward.  This may be the last best chance to put a dagger into the heart of Robertscare.  Republicans should not let it pass in the hope of a better opportunity.
