There was a question hanging in the air as Republican senators met privately at midday Tuesday to discuss the divisive fight over defunding Obamacare: How did this get to be about us?

With all the "train wreck" problems of Obamacare coming into view just days before the health plan's exchanges are scheduled to go on line -- rising costs, lost jobs, reduced hours, and more -- how did Washington become entangled not in those issues, which will affect millions of people, but in an insider drama among a few Republicans who all agree Obamacare should go but disagree on the best tactics to fight it?

What happened? Both sides criticized each other and the attention was taken off Obamacare and onto the GOP infighting.

We truly are the stupid party.

Because you all ran on fighting Zerocare tooth and nail at every opportunity and then when push came to shove, only a hand full of you stood up for the fight.

How did this happen? --bureaucrats love bureaucracy--they know how to run your life no matter what party just ask them they will tell you that you don't understand it's best we handle it and we let them--That's how it happened
