More than three weeks into the official roll-out of ObamaCare, I haven't written a word in defense or as criticism of the website Healthcare.gov. The reason is pretty simple. I am perfectly content to have the Republicans pushing to make the website, and therefore the law, work better. I know that the administration is mortified about the problems they've encountered and totally motivated to fix them as soon as possible. They don't need scolding from me.
I'm not in the camp that thinks there is some moral duty not to criticize the administration over these problems, but I definitely don't see why anyone should feel obligated to pile on. The problems will get fixed and we'll all move on.
In the meantime, every time the Republicans criticize the website they are defending the law, and I think that is great. I'll be happy to give them credit for speeding up the fixes and helping to make sure the law is implemented correctly. Good job, morons.

They are twisting themselves up with this now.
If you haven't watched the clip on CNN with that congressperson who left her gun out in the garage watch it. She was really struggling. They're finding it hard to say that it's bad and criticize the website because their justification for the website being such a huge issue is that it's keeping people from getting healthcare.

Please say that again!
But clearly the OP doesnt feel the need for clicks, recs, or column inches.
