Irony abounds.
Maybe you're not aware of how American representative democracy works.
So?
Maybe you're not aware of how American representative democracy works. Republicans don't have to have a "say." All that matters is that the duly elected representatives of the people have enough votes to pass something.
Like I said in the OP - you lost, get over it. I don't like Obamacare, but it passed. Now is NOT the time to try to revise history.
Good post, NOVA.
When the excuse-mongers blame Bush and the House GOP majority, remind them of the record of failure they established while they held the reins of power.
I'm going to save this quote, because the other applications of it are utterly hilarious.
As for teh ACA, the largest problem (especially for those who aren't BOOMERS) is the mandate. Do you know how much they want to raise my premiums for my wife and I? 112%. I said fuck it, I'll just use the VA (which will likely kill me).
I don't say this to be disrespectful to christifan but Billy I know 100% what you are saying here and it's a great call.
I asked him to explain this further.

Someone got on Dungheap over this before but the debate was if you vote for someone does that mean you support 100% of what they stand for or the platform they are running on?
If a person's answer to that is no then it's possible to say I voted for Obama but I didn't/don't support his health care plan.
You know, it could be that pRune is actually not as smart as desh....how sad is that.
If you ask people do they want "Obamacare" the majority probably still says no.
If you ask them if they want all the provisions that are IN the bill - they say yes.
Propaganda, and people bought it.
I wonder if any ACA detractors would admit here if their premiums were lowered due to Obamacare.

Don't the rest of the liberal pinheads get on your ass when you say "This is a Christian Nation" ?.....being one of them must be the reason they let
you get away with that......that typical of liberals....its the reason they worship Obama and believe he can do no wrong....so deshlike.

My families premiums have skyrocketed and now we are being forced to give up a program we really liked to go into one that is not as good and where we will have to go to the County Hospital for care instead of the Community Hospital.
Higher premiums and reduced services. My son has been kept to less than 30 hours now because his employer cannot afford to provide full time employees health benefits and is forcing them into subsidized health exchanges. .
Wait a minute. We were told premiums would be lower, we'd be able to keep our doctors, and the health care plans we liked.
You must be a "lair".
Weak.
Obviously. Finally some credibility for you.
