Oh, believe me, Ted Cruz is doing plenty of squat. This is exactly the opening that he's looking for to push the "Repeal and Replace" initiative that they've got sitting in the wings waiting for this event.

It's about damn time they put out a plan. Not that it's necessarily got the full support of republicans in congress.

They're going to find out however that it's a lot easier to take shots at somebody else's ideas than come up with your own and defend them. Dems and their supporters are going to rip on this plan the same way Cruz ripped on Obamacare. Should be fun to watch.

BTW, where the hell was this plan ten years ago?

Edit: You know, I just noticed that article was from over a month ago. What's its current status? I haven't heard squat from republicans on this plan.

Obama could have ended the shut down way earlier by saying how about debt limit raise for a 6 mos delay to Obamacare mandate. Shut down on Obama.

You're FOS as usual. You know as well as I do the shutdown is on rethugs, just cause obama didn't give in to their extortion demands doesn't put the shutdown on obama.

Obama knew all along he was going to have to delay the mandate. he just didn't want to make it look like the repubs made it happen. Shut down on Obama!

The poll linked below shows how out of touch people like TJ are.

Ironically enough it's rumored the White House is considering delaying the mandate a year. That just so happens to be the amount of time Cruz suggested.

Out of touch? Don't think so. I call that spot on as he saw the train wreck coming. I call that vision and so are some Democrats who now see it.
