The GOP establishment wants ObamaCare, and it is no more "ObamaCare" than it is "StatistCare.""...

Comment: I fully agree it's important to find common ground with your fellow man. That doesn't mean I'll agree if someone tells me to commit mass murder or the like. The US is supposed to have a 2 party system. Which doesn't offer much variety but it's absolutely preferable to having a one party system. It's the difference between life and death. I often hear elected so-called Republicans saying it's important to give democrats what they want. The second party is supposed to fight for a different set of beliefs. Not to say you'll always win, but the US government was designed to prevent one side from having too much influence. If so-called Republicans don't have a different set of beliefs or don't want to fight for them, why are they taking up space in Washington, DC.? Answer: The GOP establishment likes one party rule, wants to be part of it, and agrees with democrats on main issues anyway. By not openly declaring themselves to be democrats, they keep their jobs, help the radical left, and fool a lot of people. To them everything would be fine if they could be left alone to agree with democrats. This is living hell, a death camp. After France surrendered to Hitler, he let them use part of the country, Vichy, as a sort of pretend government. French people there could mingle and ignore reality, including that Vichy collaborated with Nazis, hence the term Vichy Republican, which originated with Mark Levin who calls them "French Republicans." About Vichy from eyewitnesstohistory.com:
"France in Defeat," 1940
"It took only six weeks for France to capitulate to the German invaders. A stunning defeat - particularly since before the war the French army was considered the most powerful in Europe.
France's vaunted Maginot Line failed to hold back the Nazi onslaught and the German Blitzkrieg poured into France. (see Blizkrieg, 1940) Thousands of civilians fled before it. Traveling south in
Paris was abandoned and declared an Open City. The French government joined the fleeing throng and after moving to, and then quickly abandoning one location after another, finally ended up in the city of Vichy.
The ultimate humiliation came at the signing of the armistice on June 22. The French had maintained as a memorial the railroad car in which the armistice ending World War I had been signed twenty-two years earlier. It occupied a hallowed space within a small forest north of Paris. Hitler insisted that France's capitulation to his Nazi jauggernaught be formally acknowledged in the same railroad car at the same spot.
Under the terms of the armistice, France was divided into two sections: Occupied France under direct German control and Vichy France - a quasi-independent territory with Marshall Petain, an eighty-four-year-old hero of the First World War, as its head.
A reporter for the London Times published his observations on defeated France shortly after its collapse:
"A problem for all who think about it is how to explain the amazing mental attitude which seems to prevail today in France.
.
Most Frenchmen seem to regard the total collapse of their country with a resignation that has the appearance of indifference. They are, indeed, dazed by the rapidity of the collapse, but register no violent reaction to so great and unexpected a shock....
Vichy, for a nation which has reached the nadir in its history, gives an excellent picture of a certain French state of mind. Naturally the place is crowded beyond capacity. It is full of well-to-do refugees from occupied France, as well as French officers, immaculately accoutered, and political aspirants. They crowd the cafes, hotels and boulevards. The refugees and officers are enjoying the calm and the mild pleasures to be had there.
The aspirants are busily fishing in the stirring political pool in the hope of finding an agreeable job. There is adequate food for those who can afford to buy it....Here is little evidence that France has suffered one of the greatest defeats in her history. Outside the boundaries of this temporary capital, food is not so plentiful, yet in a minor degree the same spirit of indifference exists....It is hard to discover any serious attempt to meet the formidable problems which are threatening the Vichy Government."...

==============================
French President Francois Mitterand who retired in 1995 had been in the Vichy government:
2/17/11, "The Vichy Policy on Jewish Deportation," BBC, Paul Webster
"Klarsfeld's efforts were frustrated by the Socialist president of France at this time, Francois Mitterrand, who had been an official at Vichy and was decorated by Pétain. It was not until 1992 that one of Barbie's French aides, Paul Touvier, who had been a minor figure in wartime France, was jailed for life for his crimes.
French courts, responding to Mitterrand's warnings that trials would cause civil unrest, blocked other prosecutions, including that of the Vichy police chief, René Bousquet, who organised the Paris and Vichy zone mass arrests. He was assassinated by a lone gunman in June 1993.
It was not until Mitterrand retired in 1995 that France began to face up to its responsibility in the persecution of Jews. When the new right-wing president, Jacques Chirac, came to power, he immediately condemned Vichy as a criminal regime and two years later the Catholic Church publicly asked for forgiveness for its failure to protect the Jews."...
