According to Republicans Obamacare bombed because it had too many applicants?
Does this reasoning make sense?

Conservatives are attacking it now because the websites are the most visible aspect of Obamacare.
It's much harder to see the family that is saved from bankruptcy, or the child who continues to receive cancer treatment because the annual caps were removed, or the single mother who can get insurance because there's no more ban on preexisting conditions.
As usual, conservatives focus on the superficial and ignore the substance - just like they did with Reagan.

No the website bombed because it had too much traffic.
Website traffic doesn't necessarily mean applications.
Wit all the fighting many people are checking the site out whether they need the insurance or not.
There are also those that qualify for the insurance that after checking realize they can not afford it.
Only time will tell on how many people actually enroll versus paying the penalty.

Too many applicants?
Too funny. Although every citizen SHOULD go to the ObamaCare website and give Big Brother government as much personal information as possible. Big Brother is your Best Friend, after all.
Just do NOT question or dissent.

Yes, actually. Too many applicants to be handled by the system (no shock there).
Not enough applicants that will not bleed the system dry. Show me some stats about all the young healthy folks signing up (you know, the ones we were told were vital to the scam working) vs. those with preexisting conditions and maybe you might make a point.

Most sources say very few people are signing up for it, and it's been active two weeks now. That's hardly enough time to determine it's failure/success yet.

Republicans have not said that at all they said the web site to sign up was and is dysfunctional but they also said people are going on the site and when they see what is available they are not signing up.

Yes, obviously this is something no one wants. That's why they're all standing in line to have it shoved down their throats, or something.
