Pray we get at least 50!
Well, it somehow became law. A lot of docs waiting until January to see if it's repealed. .

What needs to be hammered is the SENATE! We need to take it back!!!
If Romney wins, the GOP holds the House but we fail to retake the Senate, it will be a hollow victory.
I know everyone is focusing on the POTUS election but the Senate is extremely critical.
If we fail to retake the Senate:
1. Obamacare will be impossible to reconcile or remove 2. You can forget about a national budget (continuing resolutions galore or "compromises") 3. Reid will continue to block House bills 4. Getting judicial nominees will be hard to impossible. 5. Controlling big gov't will become that much more difficult.
If you say, "Don't worry, we'll get the Senate back in 2014," then you're foolishly rolling the dice. Meanwhile, the entitlement state (Obamacare especially) will only grow and become entrenched. If you say, "Don't worry, Romney will have coat tails and drag our Senate candidates across the finish line," then you're doubling down on your foolish dice throw. (note: the "coat tails" argument I gave in another thread has changed after personal thought).
Therefore, WE MUST double our efforts to win back the Senate. Much like our objections to Romney, we must see the bigger picture.
Don't like Akin? He wasn't your guy? Don't like his "Homer Simpson" moment? You face palm Mourdock's comment (which is being over-hyped by some)? You get depressed because the Democrats are throwing the kitchen sink against this GOP candidate or that? Well welcome to politics my fiends. It's a bloodsport folks.
If this goes down badly, and we fail to get the Senate back, I will personally go to those in my community who got squishy this November and say, "Well, was it worth it? Obamacare has wrecked the health industry, your doctor left, your company dropped you off their insurance rolls, your premiums are skyrocketing, you can only get part-time work with no benefits, you can't afford you State exchange plan, your "fine" for not having insurance is going up, and Grandpa can't get his hip replacement....but look on the bright side, at least you have your "PRIDE" and "PRINCIPLES"!!!
This is PERSONAL to me. My mom is having open heart surgery next week and my dad has prostate cancer. I myself was recently diagnosed with MGUS (a potential precursor to Multiple Myeloma). Years from now, in my elderly years (when MGUS has a higher chance of turning into Myeloma) if I get bone cancer, the new treatments which could cure it or put it into remission will most likely be off limits to me. It WILL be a death sentence!
So please, I BEG OF YOU, keep your eyes the big picture.
I'm asking some of you to put aside any bitter feelings or concerns. We must remain vigilant. After the election, we must continue to replace the entrenched powers with conservatives and stay engaged with our communities.
We can pray, too. ;o)
Best wishes for your mother, father and yourself.
Pray we get at least 50!

We had a chance at one time, but Todd Akin and now IN`s Richard Mourdock, with their boneheaded, ill-thought responses on rape, have all but snuffed out that hope.
The more realistic hope is defunding parts of 0bamacare over the coming years and shrinking it down.
Listen to the drive time top of the hour headlines today— I’d predict Mourdock will become a national figure real quick.
I fully understand. Harry Reid and crowd is a nightmare. He and Pelosi have been wrecking balls. - Obamacare and his “death panels” are a nightmare. My husband has recently had major (expensive) surgery; with pre-existing conditions. I’m trying to use the medical establishment as little as possible. The idea of being crossed off the list and relegated to the status of “useless eaters” is not fun contemplation - especially when we’ve been law abiding, tax paying citizens all our lives (and still continue to work at 69 and 66).
This is ridiculous. If he loses, it is because people like you made it happen. If people are that stupid than America is gone already. He said one sentence that might not have been put in the right way but big deal! He is a conservative and YOU should be doing EVERYTHING to ensure he wins!
Wrong. Akin is ahead in the latest poll.
No, it's the other way around.
Akin takes the lead in Missouri in new poll (Akin rolling - McCaskill in panic mode)

Since then, a more recent Rasmussen poll has McCaskill ahead 51-43.
And a PPP poll has her up by 6. Unfortunately the tide may have turned on this one.
How about the same way it “passed” originally? DEEM it to have passed the senate.
It should have never passed the supreme court for that reason. For a bill to become law, it must pass in identical form, both houses of congress and then be signed by the prez. That did not happen.
Yep, CBS headline news @7 ties Romney in by stating people are calling for him to pull down ads supporting Mourdock. Romney spokesman says he disagrees with Mouddock’s position. So the media has him coming and going and presto!, Obama has a criticl 2 or 3 day distraction going for him. Meanwhile Moudock holds to his fine conscience, but he’s dishonest, because he was going to allow this into the campaign , he should have been running on it overtly since the primary.
Early voting in Indiana begins four weeks before an election.
If the GOP pushed for it’s side to vote early....
