Did anybody else notice 'the pivot' on Fox News last night? I watched 'Special Report' with

Brett 'Cheeta' Baier, and when his discussion panel came on at the end to discuss the closing date for Obamacare enrollment, after they'd finished the usual chorus of BS about "It can't really be 6+ million because: a. They're cooking the books, b. all these people who signed up are people that had their insurance cancelled anyway, c. nobody knows how many have paid, d. there aren't enough young invincibles...blah blah blah....".....

The discussion PIVOTED from the usual talk about "what we're going to do to get rid of Obamacare once we take the Senate in 2014" to "what amendments we're going to make TO Obamacare to FIX it when we take the Senate in 2014."

Having failed to scare, confuse, and obfuscate enough people into not signing up in order to put Obamacare into the infamous 'Death Spiral,' and having failed to strangle it in the cradle, I think we've just witnessed the pivot from "we're going to get rid of it" to "we're going to FIX it with amendments..."

So, my question is: WILL ANYBODY BELIEVE that? (Is the average voters' memory so short as to forget the 50 times they tried to repeal it, and the time they actually shut down the government to defund it?)
