If Obamacare's So Evil Why is GOP Concerned About People Not Being Able to Sign Up Online?

A few weeks ago Obamacare was the devil's work, but today the GOP seems really concerned that their constituents can't enroll as fast as they'd like online. What's with that?

    They probably had to give the contract to design the website to the lowest bidder--and then this is what you get. But, I think the Democrats should go along with the Republicans on this and delay the deadline for the requirement to buy health care insurance. This will take the wind out of the con's sails, and ultimately the site will be running smoothly.

    It is a shining example of government incompetence.

    If they can't even build a website after three years and half a billion dollars what makes you think they can run everyone's health care?

    Insurance lobbyists. they give about $250 million a year to our Congressmen. Nice amount of change to go to 535 people in Congress, but last year the lobbyists handed them $3.31 billion.

    Insurance lobbyists donations

    Totals for each year they give them a lot of cash and buying influence

    So that's the best tactic you could come up with to defend that the visible incarnation of the bill was just as much of a failure as the bill itself?

    Good point. First its so horrible that if we all sign up it will destroy America.

    Now its so horrible because its too hard to sign up. Really there is only one constant with the GOP and their followers: If Obama does anything, it is wrong, no matter what it us.

    Because we spent 300 Million on something that doesn't work that the same government is REQUIRING many people to use or get fined.

    EVERYONE should be concerned.
