>Bill, looks like the new meme coming out of the Democrats these days. Republicans criticizing the launch of the ObamaCare web sites are supposedly "hypocrites" because they actually want to see it fail. >Despite the obvious logical fallacy behind the Democrat meme How is that a logical fallacy? You're concern trolling. If the website launch went PERFECTLY, you still wouldn't be happy. >I'm surprised they're even trying to spin the failed launch. The possibility that Obama could ever stumble doesn't even exist in the minds of these people. He stumbled. So what? If tens of millions of people really do get health insurance, a small stumble of a few weeks in the grand scheme of things will mean nada. Zip. Zilch. If you don't get into a course you want because your school's website doesn't work and you have to take that course next semester, does that mean you should drop out and say "the hell with my education?" I personally have had a pretty good experience with the website so far. That's anecdotal, but here's data: 56% of people who have used the site have been happy with it. That's not a bad start. I'd like better, and am not pleased it's not better, but it's being worked on and it's not the only way to sign up for a plan on the exchanges. Hell, I've had times where I've tried to use my health insurance company's website to find a provider and found their database to be down for a day or more. For the record, I did not cancel my health insurance. -Z
