Anyone want to go to bat to defend the GOP establishment for once again rolling over? Now these losers can go to their comfort zone of tinkering around the edges of bad policy and claiming they are a party of vast difference.

Joining Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Kevin McCarthy, and Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell is declaring surrender on Obamacare.

He will no longer fight it.

You’d never know that if you paid attention to his preferred words about Obamacare at CPAC. McConnell told the crowd that “Obamacare should be repealed root and branch.” He also told the crowd that those who think he’s given up the fight are wrong. He pledged to continue to fight.

I call bull.

The part of his speech that McConnell hopes you ignore is him saying, “When it came to Obamacare, we gave it everything we have, everything we have, and we just lost.” He’s also signaling that the Senate Republicans will neither filibuster the continuing resolution nor shut down the government.

The continuing resolution is the best vehicle to use as a fight to defund Obamacare. Republicans will not, despite their rhetoric right now, fight on the debt ceiling to undermine Obamacare. This is the fight.

McConnell has a history of throwing red meat to the crowd then turning his back on them. Last February, Jim DeMint offered an amendment to defund Obamacare. McConnell refused to offer it up as a Republican amendment in the Senate because he did not want to anger Harry Reid. The backlash caused McConnell to promise a month long PR campaign about Obamacare the following month.

It never happened.

John Boehner’s back to claiming we have no debt crisis and that he wants to cut spending, so defunding Obamacare can’t happen. Yes, rationalize that.

Mitch McConnell is claiming he’ll fight to kill Obamacare, but won’t actually fight to kill Obamacare.

Both of these men have been in Washington since 1985. They have no understanding of the real world burdens of Obamacare so they have no incentive to actually do what it will take to defund Obamacare. They are experts in throwing red meat to rally the base, but then never deliver. They blame others and insist we keep them in power fight.

But they have no deliverables, just rhetoric and $16 trillion in national debt.

They and their respective conferences are chickens. Game over until we can replace either McConnell or Boehner and use their defeat as an example.

Hate to disagree, Frank, but to "roll over" requires that at some point the person or persons faced up. These guys have been in the supine prone so long, others park their bicycles in their butt cracks.

I guess the words repeal and defund have been removed from all their dictionaries.

Perhaps you should've worked harder to elect the candidate who promised to "Repeal and Replace Obamacare" in the 2012 election.

Ah but, alas, according to Frank 4,000,000 "conservatives" stayed home.

So, now, we're stuck with it........unless Mitch The Lionheart McConnell saves us from it!

If you tried harder you could have included a few more non-sequitors, baitings, implied insults, and logical fallacies in your post.

So says Mitch The Lionheart:

Erick Erickson threw out some poison-laced bait (to generate clicks on his website).

And you swallowed it.

No surprise there.

Did you have trouble borrowing your moms minivan to make it to your High School Republican events...?

Tell me, Frank, are you really a 93 year old geezer?

{Not that there's anything wrong with that.}
