Oh, you're going to see it a LOT more... The more the @ssclowns of the ultra-right keep it up, the more they sow their own seeds of destruction... And when they look up and realize they've lost again, I can hardly wait for: "The problem is that we didn't go far enough to the right..."
ObamaCare is not attracting many new enrollments in private insurance... looks like the states are going to be over burdened with new Medicaid costs...
So most Americans either lose their insurance and have to shop for something they may not need or their premiums/deductables go up. Just wait till the business delay is over... then it will get real ugly.
Actually my question above... "How's ObamaCare working out for the left?" is a bit naive. The answer is obvious. It's working out fine. If our Democrat, Progressive and Socialist members of Congress are anything, they are not stupid. Underhanded and corrupt, but not stupid.
Some people have claimed that Obamacare was set up to fail so the left could then jump to the next step, single payer, nationalized healthcare.
Obamacare is not failing.
More people are running to our already existent nationalized-lite healthcare system, Medicaid. And as the folks shop around and find that the rules and regulations of Obamacare has actually caused private health insurance to balloon up in price, they will be looking for something cheaper, easier and more accessible.
That's not stupid and our Democrat, Progressive and Socialist members of Congress knew this from the start.
Oh you say... Medicaid is not nationalized health, the doctors and other health care providers are private individuals and companies.
That's already taken care of. There is a whole section in the voluminous ACA bill, Title V "The Health Care Workforce." Everything they need in place to put Federally funded, Federally trained and Federally sanctioned and controlled health care.
"We won't know what's in it until we pass it." Our Democrat, Progressive and Socialist members of Congress certainly knows what's in it.

I thank god every day for Ted Cruz, and the TeaBaggers.....
Maybe you should wait... or at least start signing a different song...
New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big Trouble

Today brings a new poll from Democracy Corps titled "Revolt against DC and the Republican Congress." And it's true: their polling shows that even in Republican districts, the GOP's brand has taken a beating.
But once you get past the generic questions and ask about approval/disapproval of actual members of Congress, the picture turns sharply. I've combined two charts to show what happens when you ask people in battleground districts about their own representatives:
n Democratic districts, net incumbent approval has plummeted by 11 points, from +8 approval to +3 disapproval. In Republican districts, incumbent approval has gone down only 4 points. You see the same results when they ask a question about warmth of feeling toward incumbents: It's down 7 points in Republican districts and 9 points in Democratic districts.
This isn't good news for Democrats. It's true that attitudes toward the Republican Party have taken a bigger hit than attitudes toward the Democratic Party, but attitudes toward actual incumbents are exactly the opposite. And in elections, that's what matters.
And in an off year election like 2014, voter turnout is key. Who will inspire more voters to stay home?
The Dems for ramrodding ACA down our throats and denying millions of Americans health insurance, or the GOP for shutting down government for a couple weeks.
