Don’t be against something, without another option.

Bullcrap. It's unconstitutional. What part of that don't you get? You are anything but a conservative constitutionalist.

In the states where there is tort reform it hasn’t lowered premiums a dime.

I may or may not fit your definition of whatever. I will just say I supported Palin in ‘08 strongly, and Romney somewhat weakly last time, after Palin dropped out.

A position I now regret.

I know my healthcare is ok. I am currently employed.

I know my healthcare will be ok. I have a fallback plan.

Those two things are pretty darn important to me.

That doesn't mean the federal government needs to unconstitutionally take care of your healthcare.

You can take your socialized medicine elsewhere.

"For that matter, if, as polls suggest now, Hillary Clinton is likely to have a lock on the presidency in 2016, maybe none of us should even bother voting for her GOP rival—who ever this may be."

And that is why the 27 RINO Senators erred, BIG TIME, the other day.

I take issue with that.

I will not back down on this.

I think Republicans need to present an alternative, a formal alternative they’ve passed in the House.

Until they’ve got a competing plan, I’ll stick with what we have now.

Start with tort reform, then allow a free market system.

You are saying you want government controlled socialized medicine. There are forums where that crap might be appreciated.

Just out of curiousity, do you have a federal insurance program?

I think that may be the difference.

I only have what my employer provides for me, or what the government does if I lose my job.

Do you have some federal program? Just curious.

Thanks.

No, and I wouldn't participate in a blatently unconstitutional program if one was offered.

I will reject obamacare. Even if I wind up in jail over it.

The federal government has NO constitutional authority over healthcare.

Well my compliments, on your stand.

I may not agree with you, but I support your right to advocate strongly for what you believe in.

Well I am actually more concerned with bringing back American jobs in manufacturing, electronics and a number of other things, that healthcare which is almost by definition publicly controlled.

We obviously, believe in different things.

I want American jobs elsewhere in the economy to return.

All the best to you.

Obama has found it very easy to advance his narrow ideological agenda of failure-prone Marxism.

4 years after Obama conned his Democrats into passing the Federal takeover of the cash cow of Medical Insurance, the PC, Doormat Republicans are finally timidly suggesting defunding that Federal takeover.

Without the weak, PC, Doormat Republicans Boehner and McConnell being stupidly kept in their respective leadership positions by truly cowardly House and Senate Members, Obama Medical Insurance “Care” Takeover would have been defunded long ago.

The primal yearning of the 47 % who pay no personal Federal Income tax is to belong to a tribe where all of their choices are dictated to them by their arrogant tribal leader.

This a common trait of those who have low self-esteem.

In that sense, Obamanation is truly a cult.

Freedom is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) Exemption or liberation from slavery or imprisonment.
3.) Liberty of choice or action.

Most of the 47 % riding in the “free” wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.

They thus feel safe.

Liberty is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) The state of being exempt from the domination of others or from restricting circumstances; freedom.
5.) The power of voluntary choice: freedom from necessity.
6.) Individual Liberty: Freedom from restraint in the performance of rights outside of government control.

Most people who are getting a free ride in the wagon where 47 % pay no personal Federal Income Taxes, are terrified of making a voluntary choice.

The 47 % would prefer that they be under government control where the choices are made for him.

All of this societal wussiness has made it very easy for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, to advance his narrow ideological agenda of European-style, failure-prone, Marxism in spite of PC, Doormat Republican token “opposition.”

BTW, unlike taxes, Federal Obama ‘care’ Insurance charges can be increased EVERY YEAR to whatever % the present and future arrogant leaders of Obamanation wants.

BTW, BTW, the free-loading 47 % will always vote for the Candidate for POTUS approved by Obamanation.

The GOP made the mistake of putting three Doormat Republicans in for the final innings of three important POTUS Games.

Batter “Doormat” Dole struck out first, “Doormat” McCain struck out second, and then “Doormat” Romney was called out on three strikes right down the middle.

All that training, and he didn’t even swing! In fact, the bat never left his shoulder. However, Romney did have a great smile and good hair.

With the POTUS Game lost, the GOP Big Tent fell into disrepair.

Gradually, the increasing stench made it obvious that the old GOP had died when Romney lost in 2012.

We are just now finally casting off the dead weight of the old GOP in the Senate.

We are looking forward to the Senate Primary Season.

The lingering stench of the putrid GOP dead weight was decreased a lot this week by nice cool breezes coming out of TEXAS and Utah.

One benefit of a battle is to find out for sure who your hidden enemies are.

This is why we need a firebrand like Ted Cruz: to counter folks like you.

The only thing is, I’ll be out front fighting for everything else Cruz is in favor of.

I just disagree on this one.

Oh well.
