If the conservatives where so sure the ACA was bunk then why not wait and let it fail on its own and say "we told you so."? I think the right wing is afraid people are going to like it just like social security,medicare oe medicade. They claim this is a start to socialized healthcare ( I hope so) but the whole thing was their idea in the first place and they only hate it because Obama pushed it through. Yea I think the right wing is afraid we are going to have another intitlement to hate. Too bad.

You don't cut the brake line on your car before driving down a steep hill, into a lake. Apparently that logic escapes democrats.

No. They're afraid of being slaves to the government. You might suckle off Mommy Government's teat, but that doesn't mean everyone wants to.

For the cost of 0bamaCare, and all the waste involved, I'd rather buy one-way tickets for all the losers who support this crap, to the socialist country of their choosing. Good riddance. They're probably already a blight on this society.

But Evis. This is a socialist country and has been since the days of FDR. What do you think ss,medicare and medicade are? They should move all the rednecks to Texas and call it Hickland. Then they could have legal gunfights and let the poor starve along with minorities.

For the life of me I don't know why Republicans don't do just that. It ought to be a great deal for them going into 2016. Medical insurance premiums are increasing by 200 to 300% in Kentucky and Tennessee. Wait till people find out what they have to pay for deductables, for co-pay and so on. It will be mass insurrection.

Democrats won't be able to elect so much as a dog catcher.

They seem afraid people are going to like it like they did with social security. That is why they are acting like idiots. If they really thought it would fail they would let it go into efect then say we told you so.

Conservatives are not "afraid" of anything. They just don't want people to become dependent upon Obamacare like they did with social security.

Liberals, on the other hand, want people to become as dependent upon the government tit.

That, in a nutshell, is the difference between conservative and liberal.

Oh, and conservatives don't like to tell people "I told you so"...after it's too late. That's what liberals like to do.

Your side lost when the ACA went thru. They lost in 2012 when Romney ran on repealing the ACA and they lost when the SCOTUS gave it the OK. How many more times will it take before your side gets a freaking clue? Taking away peoples insurance when they did not have any before is a losing idea my friend.

If Democrats are so in love with Obamacare, why doesn't Harry Reid table a motion to have all members of congress and congressional and administration staff fed into the Obamacare provisions and not exempt from them?

They are rich enough to buy their own if they wanted.

Maybe he's hoping Republicans decide to change political parties? :mrgreen: Nah, then who would be the scapegoat
for everything that goes wrong?

If Republicans did nothing and just let Obamacare implode, Democrats would be sure to say that Republicans were okay with it otherwise they would have objected to it or tried to end or change it.

That would be stupid my friend. The wailing and screaming has been heard to no end. Too bad they lost again.

You're probably right on the money! :thumbs: Anything would serve to deflect blame, I suppose, but how would they get around the fact that the Repubs have attempted numerous times to change or end it, to great derision from the Dems? They'd think of something! :shock:

If you're rejoicing about some political loss or gain, you're ignoring who's really going to lose as things progress. If you think Obamacare, as it stands now, will survive implementation, you're only fooling yourself. Either Democrats find a way to accept their error and move to correct or can it, or they will be forever seen as the party that created the mess and pig-headedly refused to fix it.

Why not the Canadian healthcare system. It must work because it cured Geddy Lee's cancer and his singing is as good as ever. It is about freaking time Rush got voted into the R&R hall of fame. Do you agree?

I've said repeatedly that if Obamacare simply applied a Canadian like healthcare system that supported the most basic of medical and health needs of all citizens and allowed those who wish it to buy additional health insurance for those services not covered, you'd probably have a happier populace. I'm comfortable saying that our healthcare system has many problems and is very expensive, but not I nor any Canadian I know would agree to change it for the American system now.

But make no mistake, that doesn't mean I think Obamacare is an improvement on what you previously had - it isn't.

You don't like Rush? You are not a rocker? No wonder you are such a anal conservative. Smoke some pot and rock on dude.

I didn't make any comments on Lee - I had no intention of getting sucked into your legalize pot debate here.

Don't be a wuss. That is not what I was trying to do but now that you said it Rush is pro pot and Geddy used medical marijuana. They love there bud up there. Even more so now that beer and booze is soo expensive up there.

really? do you realize how stupid that sounds?

even the CBO is saying Obamacare will bankrupt the country. WTF? sit back and let it fail. billions of dollars down the drain, jobs lost, etc, etc, etc...just so we can say "I told you so"

un-freakin-believable
 
But Evis. This is a socialist country and has been since the days of FDR. What do you think ss,medicare and medicade are? They should move all the rednecks to Texas and call it Hickland. Then they could have legal gunfights and let the poor starve along with minorities.

Learn what a dictionary is before referring to "rednecks" and "hicks." It makes you look more hypocritical than you already are.

As far as the retarded drivel you wrote, if all those folks moved to Texas, the nation would collapse. Outside of Texas, you'd have a nation of moochers, without any producers to prop up their sorry-ass, miserable excuses for lives.

Because our country is already in a bad fiscal spot, the ACA is going to make it worse. So waiting will allow the damage to be done. Was a report out today the IRS is already unable to account for 67 million of an ACA 'slush fund'... how much worse is the abuse and fraud and waste gonna get once this thing get's up on it's feet? Why do you want to destroy America?
 
Your side lost when the ACA went thru.

This statement is a prime example of liberal hubris.

You use underhanded, sneaky and dishonest means to pass Obamacare and then have the nerve to gloat? To suggest that conservatives use the same tactics you use?

You, "my friend", are a perfect example of shameful, dishonerable, lying liberals.
 
I'm sorry my fellow Americans, the takers now outnumber the makers
we are doomed to go down this path
enjoy the trip to your socialist utopia
