Notwithstanding the terrible effect Obamacare will have on the American people, Republicans who refuse to defund it will face a backlash from their constituents. Congressional Republicans can no longer get away with telling the voters they are doing everything they can to stop Obamacare but then refuse to defund it. The voters are no longer fooled by this sort of rhetorical deception. By not defunding Obamacare, Republicans risk losing their majority in the House and slipping below 40 seats in the Senate, the effects of which would be a devastating free reign for President Obama and a Democrat-controlled Congress. It is absolutely stunning that House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell do not see the enormous risk they and their party face by allowing Obamacare to take hold. In spite of all the complexities surrounding Obamacare, the proposition of defunding it is simple; if you vote to fund Obamacare, you own it. Republicans who follow such a path will have lost the conservatives who voted them into office and face the prospect of the 2014 campaign being their last.
