When the ACA first came out, the GOP was pissed and said that it was going to be a burden on business and kill jobs because of the employer mandate, and they were pissed at Obama for putting this burden on corporations.
Obama said "you're right", and decided to DELAY (not get rid of) the employer mandate for 1 year so that businesses employing over 50 people would have time to adjust to it.
Then.................because Obama agreed with them and delayed the mandate for a year, they said he was changing the law (not really, the employer mandate is still there), he should be impeached because he was changing laws as he saw fit.
They called him a dictator because he used his executive order, and they then said that he was overusing his executive orders, when in fact, Obama has used the executive order LESS than any other President.
Then...................there was the crisis on the border with lots of Central American refugees coming across, and Congress was SUPPOSED to act, but didn't and went on vacation, and Boehner himself stated that Obama should use his executive order to fix it because Congress didn't.
Which is it? Do you want him to use his executive orders, or not?
Now? Well the GOP is at it yet again, because they are now trying to blame this talk of impeachment on the Democrats in the White House, and saying that they are using it as a way to raise campaign funds.
The GOP has been calling for Obama's impeachment almost since day one. However, when they found out that impeaching the President would be bad for their party, they are now toning it down from impeachment to suing him, and are trying to say that it's the Dems that are keeping the impeachment talk alive.
First they say one thing, then they say another. They promise one thing, and then they do the opposite.
Like I said.................the GOP has gone schizo.
