GOP Black Knight on Obamacare: "Tis but a scratch!"
No retreat: Little reflection for House GOP after bruising shutdown
Voters expecting to see reflection or remorse from Republicans after their fiscal walloping are still hearing a familiar party line on Obamacare: no retreat.
GOP approval ratings have sunk to record lows. Polls show that the public largely blames congressional Republicans for the standoff that took the United States to the brink of default. Republicans extracted no concessions despite their charge to gut Obamacare in exchange for keeping the government open.
The party now finds itself in worse shape than a year ago, when President Barack Obama decisively beat Mitt Romney in the presidential race and party leaders commissioned an autopsy to address problems with messaging and outreach.
Yet there hasnt been much soul-searching lately, and the last several weeks appear to be an afterthought to GOP leaders who have turned their attention right back to the health care law.
