Republicans just lost their campaign issue . . . so what will they run on now?

With the growing success of the Affordable Care Act -- and the increasing likelihood that "Repeal Obamacare" won't be a winning strategy come November -- what will the Republicans do . . . ?

1.  Suppress the vote.   Republican-controlled state legislatures are busy with "voter ID" laws and shortening voting days and times, all designed to keep Democratic voters from voting.

2.  Create false "scandals."    Darrell Issa is still trying to find scandal where it doesn't exist -- the IRS and Benghazi.  There's no there, there;  but that won't stop this snake-mean bully and the magaphones that amplify him on FoxNews.

3.  Blame President Obama for everything that's gone wrong in the world.  Scream about his "weakness" and "lack of coherent foreign policy."  They have long since abandoned the agreement that politics stops at the water's edge.  They equate diplomacy with weakness, even when it's successful and saves lives.

4.   Blame the Democrats for the slow economic recovery.   Never mind the fact that their opposition to a stronger stimulus and more help to the unemployed is chiefly responsible for the slow recovery.  

5.  Pour money into advertisements full of lies and distortions and smears.   Offer no plans of their own;  just tear down the Democrats.

What a pathetic position for a national political party.   Nothing to run on and no way to win except by obstructing, lying, and cheating.
