Weird, Sad … Especially for People
Josh Marshall-February 8, 2013, 1:45 PM

Mississippi Republicans fight amongst themselves over whether to implement a state health care exchange as envisioned by ‘Obamacare’ or force the federal government to impose a non-state-customized one on the state.

The weird thing of course is that the option that keeps more control at the local level is the one that people ‘feel’ like it makes you more pro-Obamacare. So the most conservative state officials need to demand the one-size fits all model — basically a parody of conservative grievances about the federal government.

actually, i think it is super funny. either way they are invested in the program, whether out of petty spite or out of genuine enthusiasm.

I see it as "funny" in a warped way ~ many GOP/TPers claimed "control" was the reason they hated and rejected ObamaCare ~ and to prove their GOP/TP bona fides, they are giving up the "control" ObamaCare offers them purely out of spite ~

i think maybe ironic is what i was looking for. and in several ways.
