Never again with a Bush in the Whitehouse.

This is horrible.

The Bush family has been the destruction of the Republican party. As much as Obama likes to blame Bush for everything, in a way, he’s got a point.

I used to kid my lefty friends when they’d bitch about George Bush: “I don’t know what you’re all complaining about, George Bush is the best Democrat the Republicans ever elected.”

...how true that was.

Ok...NOW the telling thing will be, WHAT STATEMENT WILL MYTH ROMNEY MAKE?!? And how soon...

If we have a chance at repealing this, Myth better come out swinging and hitting hard. If not, we KNOW the fix (New World Order) is in...

I’m no lawyer, but how can the Court change it to a tax? Congress has to do that!

As God is my witness I will not watch the Kenyan gloating over this.

Our only hope is to defeat this guy in November.

I don’t care how little enthusiasm everyone has for Romney, please get over it and vote for him.

To save our country.

Would you not agree this is a strictly constitutional decision? In other words, Justice Roberts agreed that it’s outside the reach of the Commerce Clause but not outside Congress’s constitutionally-granted power to tax?

“Amy Howe:
The court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate.”

There’s a reason Roberts was confirmed easily by the Senate Dems whereas they fought like hell against Alito. I guess this is the reason.

As much as I dislike Mitt Romney. He is our only chance of getting rid of this Obama-nation now. He claims that if elected he will exempt everybody from the requirements by granting a universal waiver.

For all the crap Obama has blamed on Bush, he finally has something that CAN be blamed on Bush.

I was right. I Posted this yesterday:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2900077/posts?page=59#59
I think they will uphold it all.

And what will we do tomorrow, yeah post a few posts of disappointment.Same thing we did when the Obama monster passed the Dream Act Amnesty by itself without the approval of congress.

What can we do. Pat Buchanan is right , the U.S.A is committing suicide.

Few people realize that we have to dismantle 99% of these government agencies and the laws that authorize them, at all levels of government: abolish government schools, the EPA, IRS, FEC, HUD, TSA, OSHA, dept of energy, dept of education etc. keep only customs, tariffs, military, and border control ,police and courts, abolish everything else

Better get ready for your “Vegtable Purchase Mandate” and “Electric Car” mandate. Because according to the Supreme Court the Feds can force you to purchase anything they deem is good for you...

Yes...as long as it has the fig leaf of "tax" on it. A tax to force everyone to buy the New York Times? A tax to force everyone to install tracking devices in cars?

Kennedy did the right thing, and Roberts didn't. How sad. Now we are left hoping Romney will kill it.
