The Partisan Reversal Moment Approaches

A few weeks ago the Republican Party and Ted Cruz stuck a flag on the hill of Defunding Obamacare. The House then fell back on a one year delay of Obamacare to re-open govt.
The dems then celebrated the ‘victory’ when ALL of them and 93 republicans voted away this effort.
Right now this second there are enough democrats in the Senate to support this delay. A few weeks back every Republican would have voted the same way. And THAT would have been that since the House would have concurred amid a standing ovation to itself.
But NOW…oh what a difference a web site makes. And what difference a few weeks of the taste of so many facing increased costs and loss of their own insurance.
The number of democrats seeking delay of this thing past the 2014 election is going to grow. And the number of republicans who will be tempted to go along….
WILL DROP.
The Republicans should insist this President gets his way on established and settled law.
And we ALL understand why.
Time to send Genl Jackson around the Union right. (and NO it’s not a paean to a racist endeavor, it has to do with risk and reward, in this case the actions of the vastly outnumbered)

Yes, indeed.

Americas need to experience the full monty if there's any hope for awakening. Suffering will make a difference.
