This idea that Ted Cruz and Mike Lee had about defunding Obamacare was all the wrong strategy &#8211; Republicans just need to step back and watch Obamacare implode.<\/p>\n<p>Now Charles Krauthammer is an intelligent man &#8211; there is no disputing that. But his intelligence here is warring against his timidity to where he makes no sense. Think it through &#8211; do you really think that Democrats will step up and say that Obamacare isn&#8217;t working so we just need to repeal it? Dream on, Charles, it will never happen, and you know it won&#8217;t. If these people were amenable to reason, they would never have passed it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>No, Obamacare isn&#8217;t going to go away without a fight. And it will be a knock-down, drag-out fight, if it ever happens. Even if the next presidential election brings us a true conservative president and a conservative majority in the House and Senate, they will filibuster to keep it from happening. Notice how I didn&#8217;t say Republican president or Republican majority &#8211; because the ruling class Republicans are status quo Republicans who don&#8217;t like to rock the boat.<\/p>\n<p>No this &#8220;wait for it to implode&#8221; thinking is not a strategy &#8211; it is a rationalization, an excuse for doing nothing that has as its purpose to comfort the timid.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.libertymusings.com\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"true\" data-send=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\n\/* 336x280, created 7\/26\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"2207044504\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Click here to visit the Liberty Musings <a href=\"..\/\">conservative politics<\/a> home page.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"quickshare-container\">\r\n\t<ul class=\"quickshare-genericons monochrome quickshare-effect-expand\">\r\n\t\t<li class=\"quickshare-share\">Share:<\/li> \r\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fwill-obamacare-implode%2F&amp;t=Will+Obamacare+Implode%3F+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><span class=\"quickshare-facebook\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fwill-obamacare-implode%2F&amp;text=Will+Obamacare+Implode%3F+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\"><span class=\"quickshare-twitter\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fwill-obamacare-implode%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=He+said+it+again+Monday+night+on+the+Special+Report+All+Star+Panel+-+Charles+Krauthammer+was+talking+about+Obamacare+imploding.+This+idea+that+Ted+Cruz+and+Mike+Lee+had+about+defunding+Obamacare+was+all+the+wrong+strategy+-+Republicans%26hellip%3B\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\"><span class=\"quickshare-pinterest\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fwill-obamacare-implode%2F&amp;title=Will+Obamacare+Implode%3F&amp;source=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog&amp;summary=He+said+it+again+Monday+night+on+the+Special+Report+All+Star+Panel+-+Charles+Krauthammer+was+talking+about+Obamacare+imploding.+This+idea+that+Ted+Cruz+and+Mike+Lee+had+about+defunding+Obamacare+was+all+the+wrong+strategy+-+Republicans%26hellip%3B\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"quickshare-linkedin\">Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fwill-obamacare-implode%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Google+\"><span class=\"quickshare-googleplus\">Google+<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog:+Will+Obamacare+Implode%3F&amp;body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fwill-obamacare-implode%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share via Email\"><span class=\"quickshare-email\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He said it again Monday night on the Special Report All Star Panel &#8211; Charles Krauthammer was talking about Obamacare imploding.
