How else can we explain National Republican Senatorial Committee chair John Cornyn’s statements to the press announcing that the GOP might not try to repeal that there health care takeover after all, if they retake the Congress? Remember the health care takeover? The one that a majority of Americans hated?
Well, this may have something to do with 2 facts your post doesn’t mention:
1) Not everyone who disapproves of the ACA does so for the same reasons you do. A plurality of those polled have said they think it does too much, but a smaller – but still significant – number don’t like it because it does too little. You think those people want to see it entirely repealed just because it isn’t Liberal enough? Group those people with those who approve the healthcare bill and you actually have a MINORITY of Americans who don’t like this bill for the reasons that you and other Cons do.
This first reason ties in with the second:
2) Certain parts of the Affordable Care Act have already kicked in and are already helping millions of people around the country. There may be some real numbskulls in the GOP, but most of them are smart eonough to realize that repealing things that are already benefitting people (especially when they’ve been widely publicised) is not look so good for them.
Hope this clears things things up a little.
