Why did we elect a Republican Congress?
By J. Marsolo

Obama and the Democrats passed Obamacare without any Republican votes on a slick parliamentary move by Harry Reid.  Republicans vowed to repeal Obamacare.  Next, Obamacare was saved by the vote of Justice Roberts when he decided that it is constitutional as a tax even though Obama and the Dems did not pass it as a tax.  Republicans again vowed to repeal Obamacare.

Republicans said Obamacare is designed to fail so we end up with a single-payer system.  The passage of Obamacare energized the Republican base, leading to a Tea Party, and a revival of conservative politics.   We won the House in 2010 and have retained it since.  We won the Senate in 2012 and have retained it since.
