It took every stretch and twist of every trick known to American politics and law, and liberals still had to pass the ACA in the middle of the night. Nancy Pelosi admitted that nobody in Congress even bothered to read it on the Democratic side. Too many silly, stupid Americans didn't even know what was really happening.
The smoke-and-mirror posturing and blatant lies caught up with them, and now they're paying the price.
Republicans were just awarded the task of shredding the ACA in its ridiculous form, and destroying Obama's attempt to rig American politics for the foreseeable future.

Based upon the last election looks to me like the American voter is waking up. Wonder why he still has a 41% JAR
37% turnout of register voters in this past election does not qualify as any referendum against ACA. If you guys try to f*** with it, you can kiss the senate and the white house good bye in 2016.
I personally hope you guys will get too cocky and over reach.
What happens when the GOP looses the Senate in the future? Will they "still be waking up"?
From the conservative Forbes:
So, if you are all about the politics of being anti-Obamacare, you’ll want to simply pretend you never read this article as any rational individual will find it hard to continue to terrify the nation with predictions of fewer policies, smaller competition, and double-digit increases in premium rates.

Predictions aren't strong suits of anyone these days as they never seem to come close to the actual results. Obamacare is a disaster and at least one of Obama's architects is finally telling the truth, a truth we tried to tell you when you supported the program. Amazing isn't it how subsidies never cost anyone of importance in your world?
Doesn't look like we'll have to since it has serious legal flaws soon to be challenged.
Republicans will be smart to repeal it without repealing it. Defund it, rebuild it to what it should have been in the first place, then the catastrophe it's been goes away.
You don't understand. We have to pretend to like it so you all don't pronounce it a failure and go after single payer.
No, then they'll be stupid again.
That would be a better system. It would return more jobs hoe than tax cuts would.

Great summation. It's been this way for years and it will stay this way.
The GOP was dead after Nixon. No wait! They're back. The Dems were dead after Carter. No wait! They're back! The GOP was dead after HW Bush. No, back they come! On and on it goes, around and around.
I wouldn't care so much if you all didn't want to insist that that those of us who want nothing to do with it, be forced into it anyway.
Not according to this article and others. All you have left is your pretense.
Speaking of the stupidity of the American voter, here's a little article I ran across from a Canuck perspective.

That wasn't an article, it was more an Op Ed and the note about the writer at the top clearly indicates;

So it's not correct to assert that even right leaning Forbes is all on board. There have been clear problems with the roll out of Obamacare and much of what Obama promised to get it passed was clearly false. Actually, the fact that he even had to claim that you can keep your current plan to make it somewhat palatable indicates that a lot of people were content with their coverage.
I envision a two tired system, as those who can afford more will never be told they can't spend more in the US.

Doubt that is going to happen although results matter and Obama's results are what you want to ignore
2006 was called a referendum. 2008 was a mandate.
2014? A blip.
The previous switches in the balance of power were lauded as a general awakening. Hell, I remember vast hordes declaring it the death knell of the GOP. But this time? Eh, low voter turnout.
It's blind hypocrisy.
That's just more evidence that goofy leftists are an international problem, not exclusive to any one country.Written like a true liberal who buys the headlines and ignores the actual results. Of course people like you ignore the discouraged workers, the high number of full time part time employees who want full time work, and the reality that corporate profits are up because they are doing what the Federal govt. won't do, manage expenses. Too bad that basic economics isn't being taught in today's schools.
