This obsession with "repealing" Obamacare by the GOP is THE most cynical, foolhearty, and cruel legislative initiative by a US Congress ever.

What the GOP should be doing is figuring out who the doofus GOP strategist was who made repeal of Obamacare the central plank in the GOP platform, and kick HIM/HER out.  Along with the person who thought it was a good idea to get some mileage out of naming the thing "Obamacare".

When it comes down to it, "repealing" Obamacare  makes no practical or political sense anymore (and probably never did).  The GOP's paralysis on the issue stems from the voices it has within that insist on going down that path.  Those voices - because they advocate something so stupid and impractical, are who McCain opposes.

The answer is clearly for the GOP to abaondon or marginalize the "repeal" wing of the GOP, and just work to find a way to improve it - bipartisan.

Getting the "win" of "repeal"ing the black guy's idea played well only until the numbers mattered.
