Paul: 'Difficult to turn the clock back' on O-Care

I think the assumption is that people are too smart—and given the choice they wouldn’t opt for all that unnecessary coverage that subsidizes everyone else.

It's less difficulty Io turn it back than it was to put it in place. Paul is off his rocker.

[C. Edmund Wright]

that may be the result, but I’m fairly sure that’s not his intent.

Rand has become Romney with bad hair.

LOL.

The interesting thing is that Rand Paul couldn't have written a better script to chase real conservatives toward a different candidate. Why?

My guess: (1) He wants Romney's donors, and (2) Like Romney, he thinks we'll have no place else to go, and he thinks he'll get libertarianish liberals.

Rand Paul’s getting squishier and squishier.

[cuban leaf]

that’s because it’s going to get exponentially worse before he leaves

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Cruz or bust.

[smalltownslick]

So - nobody has received ANYTHING yet. And wait til they actually find out how much they won’t receive.

...99% of the GOP are undocumented Democrats...

Love the phrase. RINO = undocumented democrat

“THE US GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSINESS IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.”

Except that Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer are shelling out >$ 1 trillion/year for other people’s medical bills. Is it your view that taxpayers (via representatives) have no say in what happens with their $$?

[Norm Lenhart]

I can’t take credit for it, but I’ll gladly use it ;

[Norm Lenhart]

You may be right but since it’s the GOP, God only knows what thought process is at work. Nothing surprises me anymore.

[Old Yeller]

It’s difficult to turn it back if you don’t even try.

[C. Edmund Wright]

My take on Rand is he’s first, not that brilliant. Second, he is not that fearless, he has made some strong statements, good statements, and then backed off of them. Strong statements are needed, but you have to be willing to stand your ground when you utter them.

And then there’s this, I think he wants to cobble together his paul bots, with some hard line thinking on drones and so on plus devaluing the social issues, and yet add some estab types with his statements like this. Ithink it’s gutless and a loser proposition. The estabs hate Paul, and will never support him, regardless of how much he panders to them. Meanwhile, this pandering will open the door for Cruz to get 100% of those voters who like Cruz and Paul about equally.

[Norm Lenhart]

You know we have to stop agreeing like this CE...people are gonna talk ;)

[C. Edmund Wright]

shhhhh…….I won’t tell if you won’t…....:)

[Norm Lenhart]

We’ll keep it on the down low ;)

[riri]

Why would this ever be? Every day it seems they are revising the number downwards for who is actually signed up and PAYING for this monstrosity.

Repeal it. Offer up at $10 Starbucks gift card to anyone who misses it. Problem solved.
