I've been hearing rumblings about that.  When Dems want to distance themselves from the destruction of Dems, it makes sense they'd want to.  More power to them!

From what I've read, many are supporting the TEA, while a large number are supporting the Libertarian party.
Libs are clearly pissed and who can blame them, they didn't know they were voting for a Marxist..

Then hand them swords and point them toward their own Progressive Caucus.

Hmm... dueling pistols at five paces.  We don't want them to miss each other.

I'd rather hand them the swords and point them towards the sharp end...

Voting for Obamacare will be a minefield-walk for Dems, particularly because of its not reading the bill before you passed it, which is part of your job as a Congress-person component. 

Republicans' nay-vote projects, illusion or not, that they did read the bill.  Hence they justifiably fulfilled their job as Congress-persons.  Their future candidates won't be compelled to promise " I will read every bill before I vote on it. "  They're now the Party who reads... or responsibly pays-attention.

Republicans are the party of NO  !!  And obstructionists  !!

Thank goodness.

I think we should give credit where credit is due. In my view, the GOP handled last week pretty well. They pretty much stayed out of the way. They offered a legislative fix and it passed. I personally don't think it is a perfect bill, but it is something positive and put Obama and Reid on the spot. Let's just hope they do not overreach and let the dems continue to swing in the wind.

It only puts Obama and Reid on the spot if they care about it.

They only care about it if someone from our side makes a hell of a lot of noise about it......more than the Obama machine that's already called the bill every negative label that can be invented.

Minus our own PR and noise.......51% + believes that the bill is only there to destroy their free stuff and keep them poor.

True, kids may love their rockstars, but they still respect an adults decision, and the GOP were the ones acting like adults, a move that will payoff well in the mid terms.

Andy, I think it is time for a refill of your positive pills.
