^Well, that's kind of already true. House GOP refused to appropriate any money for the federal site. Of course it was a misstep no funds were set aside in the ACA itself. But still, Democrats came to Republicans and said "there's a problem with this, and we know you're very 'concerned' with problems with this law, so help us fix it?" and they said no.


Does anybody really think this new news story is going to get the GOP to give more money for the site? They just want to talk about it.

"I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races (applause); that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people… .

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.

That's an Obama-sized flip flop
