Second, Erickson writes that Obamacare “should be fought by all means, with or without a Senate majority or White House. The fight should not depend on electoral outcomes and should not be delayed pending reinforcements, many of whom will flee the field once elected.” Who’s arguing with that? Not me. I’ve been consistently urging Republicans to fight Obamacare. (Unlike people who have argued that the whole law should be implemented, people like. . . Erick Erickson.) But I plead guilty to thinking that our choice of strategy against Obamacare should depend on things like which party controls the Senate. …
I’m not as hungry as Erickson for a fight, especially among conservatives. I am hungry for a victory over big government—which will take our brains as well as our stomachs.
