Lindsey Graham Says ObamaCare’s Flaws Will Outlast Shutdown To GOP’s Benefit

Lindsey Graham: Obamacare’s Faults Will Outlast Shutdown ‘If GOP Doesn’t Screw This Up’ (Mediaite)

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) admitted on This Week With George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning that the Republican Party had badly misplayed the attempt to defund Obamacare through a continuing resolution to fund Obamacare, but warned triumphant Democrats that the problems of the Affordable Care Act would long outlive the embarrassments of the shutdown.

“As between House and Senate Republicans, the sooner this is over, the better for us, guys,” Graham said. “And to our Democratic friends you own Obamacare, and it’s going to be a political gift that keeps on giving. So the shutdown will be old news next year, Obamacare’s faults will be front and center in 2014—if we don’t screw this up.”
