They cannot win their arguments by engaging in genuine debate so they muddy the waters so badly it is hard for the average American to see the truth.... Op-Ed: Obamacare Exemption a Myth The Day: There is no better way to make a federal law unpopular than to have Congress exempt itself from its provisions. No wonder then reports that Congress has exempted themselves and their staffs from the Affordable Care Act -- Obamacare -- is further eroding support for the law aimed at making sure all Americans have access to health care insurance. However, the claim, while constructed on some shred of truth, is false. It is symbolic of what is wrong with Washington. It is a strategy meant to confuse and divert attention from the real issue. It is a substitute for engaging in genuine debate. The intent is to anger, rather than inform the public. It is also perhaps the last resort of a cohort of Republicans in Congress who are moving toward the unprecedented step of trying to force the repeal of an enacted law by threatening to shut down the government or take the United States into default or both. It is a strategy meant to confuse and divert attention from the real issue. It is a substitute for engaging in genuine debate. The intent is to anger, rather than inform the public. I believe that is the basis of the Republicans new Platform. Just a bunch of stubborn fools who hated something before he ever even tried it and then once he tried it realized it was not so bad after all. theday/article/20130924/OP01/309249978
