If you think about it, the ball is really and truly in Rick Perry’s court right now. Moreso than I think he even realizes.

Sometimes people have their dates with destiny. Patrick Henry and Sam Houston had theirs. I think Rick Perry might, just might, be about to have his.

I have a good feeling Obama won’t wake up to a sunny bright morning full of orange juice, skittles and birds singing in the garden come monday.

Nope. instead he will get a report of a national non compliance to any demands of Obamacare from the states themselves.

It will be then become a deadly game of chess as now Obama must find a way to create enough fear to the governors, something that they will back down to.

Rick Perry posted this picture of himself campaigning with Ed Martin for Attorney General of Missouri , along with this comment,

“A fine day with Ed Martin will make a difference on Healthcare debate w/input from his bright MD wife Carol.”

We let the media demonize Perry and chase him out. Ditto for Palin.

Maybe Jindal can succeed. I'm in Louisiana and impressed with Jindal. They are crying like stuck pigs here saying that Jindal is cutting everything.

“Here in Louisiana, look, we refused to set up the exchange. We're not going to start implementing Obamacare,” Jindal told POLITICO. “We have not applied for the grants, we have not accepted many of these dollars, we are not implementing the exchanges, we don't think it makes any sense to implement Obamacare in Louisiana.”

The twin Marxist POS’s Roberts and Obama took our freedom away.

Also in all this we are forgetting that Obama unlawfully passed the Dream Act Amnesty by itself without Congress and after Congress had rejected the Dream Act.

Good, let all 26 states who petitioned the government to do this. Dare them to enforce this travesty!

And the Feds will withhold highway funds until they comply.

One of the few bright spots in Roberts' treasonous opinion on ObamaCare is that is specifically prohibits punitively withholding unrelated funds from a state. The thugs in our White House will have to bully our leaders the old fashioned way and blackmail governors one by one over personal indiscretions or the safety of their families, rather than using financial blackmail.

Hopefully there will be more statements coming out of Gov. Perry’s and other governor’s offices, as well as from states’ attorney generals. The Feds no doubt are ready to pounce, throwing endless money and muscle against states who cannot print money.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/tx-lawmakers-vow-to-fight-obamacare-ron-paul-explains-why-bureaucrats-will-call-the-shots/

“Texans are poised for war over the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. “Obamacare.” Texas Governor Rick Perry has already stated that his state will return to court to challenge its mandatory role in President Obama’s health care mandate and Attorney General Greg Abbott mirrored Perry’s sentiment, saying that Texas isn’t anywhere near ready to end the fight against what is now being passed as a “tax” on all Americans. Even Congressman Ron Paul weighed in with his views on what this means for the future of heath care.”.....

Time for the States to secede from the union,starting with Texas. “Give me liberty or give me death”.

We can only hope that the Governors start to acquire a taste for disobedience. Can’t say I’m all that optimistic about most of them. But I reckon a few will decide that it suits them.

I'm sure we'll see many more States respond in-kind to Obama's "Thumb Tax"-

I am pretty sure Alabama won’t uphold the law either....our Governor Bentley called the decision disgraceful and denounced it. He was a practicing doctor so I can’t imagine him not signing on with the other GOP governors on this.

Hope they don’t waiver.
I don't care whether they waiver. I just hope they don't waver.

And the Feds will withhold highway funds until they comply. Game over. States have zero independence now.

So the states refuse to send their tax receipts to Washington. Who looses? Its a (Pardon the expression) Mexican standoff.

That’s amazing. Maybe you or someone can post that article? I have never posted one , nor know how to.

I wonder how many democrat state governors or legislatures are resisting against Obamacare. let me guess :ZERO. Funny that many here think it is Republicans that are the problem in America. hmm it seems all these governors forming a resistance ,rebelling against Obamacare are Republicans.

Meaningless. The statute provides that if they don’t, the Feds can and will. I’d rather the states oversee it. This is a mistake. If it is between the State or Fed doing it I choose the state.

Although some of these governors who will not implement ObamaCare will truly not implement it...Scott will back down when Obama threatens....just like he did with this George Zimmerman lynching

Scott will buckle

“And the Feds will withhold highway funds until they comply.”

Then the states can stop sending in the tax money made through gas sales.

Hmmmm.... such a difficult decision

potholes.... socialized medicine
potholes.... death panels...
potholes.... government control over every aspect of our lives leading to communist/fascist oppression... yep such a tough decision...

I know which one I choose! Go Perry! Go Jindal! Go Walker!


Its war, and war is hell.

We may have to put up with potholes to back the side opposing Obamacare.

I am fully prepared to meet it head on, game on, start the clock or rock the boat.

I bet a lot of folks are going to start whining about Federal repercussions by opposing Obamacare, whiny spineless amoebas that don;t deserve a screen name on FR.
