On FOX News, Charles Krauthammer suggests the Republicans should pass a symbolic repeal, but shouldn't attempt to defund ObamaCare (for video, check out The Right Scoop). His theory goes something like this: if the Republicans defund ObamaCare, then they'll be blamed for its failure. If they fund it instead, then it will still flop and opposition will be even greater but Democrats won't be able to blame Republicans for ObamaCare's failure. Except, they will. Democrats will find a way to blame Republicans regardless of what they do; they're constantly blaming Republicans for their failures, and it has traditionally been an effective tactic.
