I was hoping someone would do a timeline of all the shennanigans that went on.

I’d forgotten about a few of them.

In the final analysis, the victory goes to those with more power, more willingness to use it and more tenacity. The GOP and conservatives would do well to remember this and that this is a war for the continued existence of the Republic.

I think there are about 20-25 people that are directly responsible for dragging Obamacare over the finish line. First, there were about 2-3 democrat senators that were arm twisted into supporting the bill on Cristmas eve 2009. The chief of them was Ben Nelson with the infamous “Cornhusker kickback”. Fast forward to March 2010 where the 15-17 “Stupack Democrats,” the elligidly pro-life democrats held out their votes in the House until they allowed to be lied to / bought off for their votes to pass the bill in the House. Finally, in the legal challenges, you had the final 7 votes (2 in the appellate and 5 in the SC) to rule it constitutional.

Hence, you only have about 20-25 people that are directly responsible and their decisions were done in back room deals and arm twisting. This despite poll after poll after poll, showing obamacare never being popular and loosing by strong margins. The public does not want Obamacare.

Despite the SC ruling, I am very confident that republican majorities will win the Senate and increase its margin in the House as well as the WH. There will be a double mandate this November. The economy and Obamacare. Unlike the political arm twisting I mentioned above, the public will finally get to vote on if they really want this thing.

Conservatives are angry and coming in Nov?

I’m sure the left is shaking in their boots.

They just got everything they wanted - why would they care about one election?

Especially when everyone will get over being angry and vote for them in 2014.

Why don’t you go pay your taxes (which they’ll be raising.) Your paradise won’t be free. :)

Don't forget the Rats having delayed the special Senatorial election in Massachusetts as long as they could,having appointed a Rat stooge to replace Saint Teddy in the meantime.And then,after the election,having blocked Scott Brown's right to take his seat in a timely manner.

“This law is (figuratively speaking) the spawn of vile political beasts. It must be decapitated.”

Something for the Romney campaign to think about.
