A message from the folks at the Social Security Institute, being sent to conservative bloggers:
It is now fair to say the fate of ObamaCare rests in the hands of Senate Republicans. If they stop negotiating and do everything possible to defeat ObamaCare in the Senate, it may actually derail the health bill in the House as Democrats there retreat to prevent from being BTU’d a second time on healthcare the way they stand to be on Cap-and-Trade. At a minimum, shutting down Senate negotiations would send a clear message to the 80 or so House Democrats nervous about voting for ObamaCare in its present incarnation that they should slow down and wait until after the August congressional recess to vote on a bill.
Opponents of ObamaCare should be turning all their resources on key Senate Republicans to convince them to stop negotiating and playing the useful idiot. ObamaCare is on the ropes. It would be a huge irony and great tragedy if Senate Republicans gave it second life by encouraging House Democrats that a bi-partisan bill negotiated in the Senate will come to their rescue in the House.
It is not often you hear Republicans grassroots groups lamenting, “If only more of our caucus were like Orrin Hatch.”
