Somehow Compromise is dirty word.. It isn't..

Tell me how successful GOP "compromise" on anything has worked out for us over say the last 20-25 years?

Yes, compromise means both sides get some of what they want.

I've seen the Democrats get everything they want over that time and all the GOP got for it was a sore and abused posterior.

Step 2 is done by Secretary Price with EOs---reversing all the EOs by his predecessors.

Nothing wrong with the three step approach..

Let's get this right - the Uniparty Leftists and Big Statists got what they want, it's the Conservatives who got shut out and shown the door.

By the Oligarchs in their own party no less.

Well I'm not so sure "both sides" didn't get what they wanted in that "compromise". The problem has become what "both sides" want is just more big government doing their particular flavor of big government.

^ THIS is the current political reality.

Principled Conservatives have repeatedly said that the GOP has absolutely no intention of getting rid of ObamaCare and they are chomping at the bit to have a hand in Single Payer when it has to be imposed when the consequences of ObamaCare collapse what is left of the insurance industry.

If they truly wanted ObamaCare gone, the House can defund it and the Executive can tell the IRS not to enforce it or impose the penalty.

I guess you don't remember the two step approach back when Reagan granted amnesty to millions of illegals...

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Wow, all of the way or nothing right??  The multi step approach has been going on since this nation has been founded.. Did our founding fathers huff and puff cause they didn't get everything?


It worked for Reagan.

Nothing wrong with the three step approach..

If it's as it seems. Gateway Pundit has this clip of Tucker Carlson putting some heat on Paul Ryan: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/03/wth-paul-ryan-wants-lawmakers-go-home-get-pummeled-leftwing-activists-rather-pass-trump-agenda-video/

Ryan puts the onus of delay on the Senate while excusing the Senate for having too much on its plate.

We jam through far more voluminous laws that then founders did with far less debate even on contentious bills.

Recall the fact that over 3,000 pages of ObamaCare were drafted in virtual secret with NO Legislator who voted for it, having a chance to read it.  They had to 'pass it so you can find out what is in it'.

Tyranny on a scale not seen since the Crown owned the Colonies with impunity.

And here we sit arguing over compromise and incremental scaling back of tyranny - as if that is going to accomplish anything but enshrine tyranny as a permanent fixture everyone grows used to while they lie to themselves that they live in a 'free country'.

Anyone have an Option 4?

Yes.  Stop funding it.

Maybe some of that is because they are scheduled to work only 8 days in April?  Kinda slows progress.

I don't trust Paul Ryan any further than I could throw him!  THAT is my problem with the three phase approach!

I stopped trusting any of them when Paul Ryan was but a gleam in his daddy's eye. It's not about trust but about options.
