Morning Briefing
For October 11, 2013

1. The Fight Remains About Obamacare
I stepped out last night, away from politics,
to be the celebrity chef at a cooking school. It was refreshing to tune
out the political world.
But when I checked into my hotel after eleven
last night, there was a backlog of weepy, crying emails from people
ready to surrender.
Why?
Because
the GOP has gone from being not liked to being not liked? Because this
Congress has gone from being the worst ever to the worst ever?
Surrender should not be an option. This fight
has been and remains about Obamacare. A Republican Party fretting over
polling should consider that polling will rebound in their direction
with a victory. The GOP should also consider that some of the negatives
in the polls are from their own side angry at their reluctance to
actually fight the good fight.
Republican
leaders who have never wanted this fight have tried at all costs to
avoid fighting it. They have tried to wrap the continuing resolution
into the debt ceiling then into a grand bargain.
Conservatives should keep the fight squarely on Obamacare. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. Now It’s Time for Full Throttle Defund of Obamacare
Our message is very simple: this law was passed using the budget process to circumvent a higher vote threshold. Now that the law is proven to be unworkable, it will be uprooted through the budget process. We
are willing to fund every other aspect of government, including those
functions we oppose, except for Obamacare and the agencies tasked with
enforcing it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Tyranny of the majority
There
was a time when the Left was very concerned about the “tyranny of the
majority,” as everyone of all political persuasions should be. Once
in a while, you see a few sparks popping and sizzling on that old
ideological circuitry, mostly when the discussion turns to same-sex
marriage.
But for the most part, tyranny of the majority is liberal policy now. A single politician winning a majority of the vote in a couple of elections is supposed to stifle all dissent. Rarely
does an individual voter agree with every single position taken by a
politician he supports – which is not surprising, given the size of our
government – but it’s not uncommon to hear Democrat partisans claim that
President Obama’s re-election victory validates everything he wants to
do, obliging our representatives in Congress to ink up their rubber
stamps for the next three years. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
