So it's better to seriously damage the United States rather than let Obamacare get a foothold? Is it better to amputate the necrotic foot or to ignore the gangrene and let it kill the person? I don't see how fighting this to the end makes for a good outcome for either the country or the republican party. Do you understand why people go through chemo and radiation to get rid of cancer even when the odds are against them? Like cancer, nobody expects it to kill overnight. But as it becomes more invasive and spreads to other areas of our culture, it will kill all that the US was founded on. Sure, it will still be called the United States, sure people will still go to work and have babies. But we will lose some of the key things that made us unique. Choice is a key element that we lose right out of the barrel with obamacare. Further down the road is opportunity. I don't expect you to see why anyone would make this fight. It's pretty clear that you have no objections to the evisceration of what was left of the free market economy. But hey, at least as opportunities dry up in this country, at least our illegal immigration problem will solve itself. Liberals will finally have accomplished something meaningful. Nobody will take the risk to come to the USA when it's essentially the same place they just left.
