‘Replace’ was the code word for the same federally controlled healthcare under a republican progressive brand.

People really don’t want the federal government planning anything of their healthcare except for public health hazards that cross state or national lines.

So, I get it, you didn’t vote for Romney because he’s too liberal.

How’s Obama’s “more conservative” mindset working for you???

About as well as having a Republican president PUSHING the "right" to abortion, PUSHING the environmental hoax, PUSHING the gay agenda, PUSHING nationalized health care, PUSHING more and more and bigger and bigger government, thank you for asking!

How is having the Republican party continue being dominated by functional liberal statist Democrats working out for YOU, jda?

Because your vote for Romney WAS A VOTE FOR HAVING IT DO JUST THAT. How is it working out for you?

Again, I know how you feel. But, I can’t believe Romney would have been as overwhelmingly bad as Obama is - he’s not working out very well for anyone.

Of course, the answer is to elect true Conservatives in the primaries, and then elect them to office.

FRiend, thanks for the civil tone -- I love it and appreciate it. Sorry so late responding on this - I must have missed it. But UNDERSTAND you operate on a false premise when you sympathize with my refusal to support leftist Republicans by saying:

I know how you feel.

My feelings USED to dictate my vote -- for example, when I voted "against" Jerry Brown by voting for Meg Whitman, a "Republican" in the mold of Mitt Romney. I felt emotionally desperate enough to vote against my own interests out of FEAR, another feeling, of Brown. That vote for Whitman was 100 percent all about "feelings" and zero percent logic.

Today, LOGIC dictates my vote. Regardless of how I or you or anyone else "feels" about it, voting for liberal Republicans is voting FOR making the Republican party more leftist.

Feelings tell you that you can vote "against."

Logic and math confirm that voting "against" is a mathematical sophistry, that voting "against" is as futile as hunting unicorns. You believe Romney wouldn't have been as bad as Obama, but had Romney been elected, the ONLY THING that would matter now is what you voted FOR, and what you voted FOR, in spite of any feelings one way or another, was for the Republican PRESIDENT to embrace the big government mentality of the left, and thereby strengthen tenfold every leftist in the Republican party.

What I FEEL is sadness and frustration at the inability of people's minds to accept the truth that then it come to voting, it is EXACTLY like a light switch -- you either turn it on, or leave the light off. Those are the ONLY two options, regardless of any feelings.
