Well, it was the Chaffee private insurance purchase I objected to, but an “interesting” decision none the less. Now, if we just had cheaper “single payer”. The Republicans do seem to be doing about as well as bin Laden. Maybe they need someone to “seal” the deal for them other than Rush??
If you limit your options, if you demand purity and oaths, if you go for the low-information voters, if you deny science, if you want the bible-thumpers and rednecks then Mitt is what’s left – bland to the bone, without conviction and flip-flopping all the time. And it doesn’t help that the President can debate all four legs of a mule and then take it for a ride. Mitt might have been acceptable against Carter or Ford, but against Obama he’s like purified water – tasteless…
“…And it doesn’t help that the President can debate all four legs of a mule and then take it for a ride. …” I’ve never heard that expression before. How common is it?
Repeat after me, “George (Stephanopoulos), this is not a tax increase.”. Even though the Supreme Court and the administrations lawyers arguing the case said as much!
Ah the smugness we have from the Progressive side. It’s okay folks, government grows, business shrinks, the decline is hastened as American interests leave the country for greener pastures. We have many examples in history that we choose to ignore and another expression for you to tuck away is “those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.” I’m pretty sure Obama will be re-elected, the political partisanship will hit vitriolic levels and America will join so many other great societies as a short lived bright light in world cultures.

I’m sorry, what is it that you call the way Obama seems to be changing his mind quite often on the issues at hand. I know he calls it evolving, but it is flip flop also. When that doesn’t work, he uses his authorithy to push it past the will of the people. Great choice there. Romney may not be “star” material but as you say that is the option for people who don’t want Obama’s polocies.
It wasn’t Obama, really. The Republicans did this to themselves, challenging a program that they themselves designed, implemented in Massachusetts, and pushed as the conservative alternative to single payer. They knew it was constitutional. It’s not the “health care” part they object to, it’s the “Obama” part.
Our Attorney General here in Virginia, Cuccinelli, has now endorsed the SCOTUS decision. He was one of the first to file suit against it. Welcome to reality, Cooch. LOL!
So what if it IS a tax? If you get health care you need, do you want to refuse it? Now, as to the requirement folks by insurance from a PRIVATEFORPROFITCORPORATION, that doesn’t care SQUAT about anything but profit? THAT I still have a problem with. SINGLEPAYER, with non-profit administration! (And yes, you STILL get your care from your PRIVATEDOCTOR, you just wouldn’t be supporting more skyscrapers built by Insurance companies, or supplying their CEOs private jets, beach homes, and foreign bank accounts.
The republicans wanted and wrote up this bill. Only when Obama joined them in wanting this bill did they turn a 180% He sure bent over backwards to work with them. I think the powers-that-be in the GOP are secretly very happy about the outcome. It is the rank and file republicans who were whipped to a frenzy with hatred and rage that are the maddest.
^ Good girl. I saw the talking points handed down to conservatives from Hannity on Faux Noose this afternoon: “Ignore all aspects of Obamacare other than the tax increase. It is no longer to be called ObamaCare; henceforth, refer to it as ObamaTax."
Joe Heller has been the staff editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette since 1985. His cartoons appear in more than 350 publications, making him the most self-syndicated cartoonist in the nation.

It’s frightening to realize that Romney is the best they’ve got.

Actually, Romney isn’t the “Best” they have, he’s just the “Richest”, so he could buy the nomination!

Obamacare isn’t constitutional. Obamacare is taxes.
