Maxine Waters: ‘I have not decided’ whether or not to call Obamacare mandate ‘a tax’ [AUDIO]
By Nicholas Ballasy | The Daily Caller – 14 hrs ago

**SNIP**

“What I have not decided is whether or not it’s better to call it a tax or a mandate. What I have decided is it’s absolutely necessary that it be paid for, that if we’re going to cover all of these preexisting conditions that I just alluded to, we have to have the income by which to do it and so I have not decided that one may be better than the other,” she told TheDC. “I’m going to think about that and I’m going to review and perhaps I’ll have a different opinion on it later on but right now I’m just happy.”

**SNIP**

“I don’t want us to start projecting out and start to talk about what’s going to happen in the future,” Waters responded. “The first thing we must know and understand is that this independent, very, high positioned branch of government will make their decision based on the deliberations that they’re involved in, based on their experiences, based on their beliefs and we cannot anticipate what they’re decisions are going to be.”

We ABSOLUTELY MUST non stop hammer away at them that Obamacare is a TAX.

They know the implications, they are like the martians hearing old country western yodeling when they hear “Its a tax” right now, seriously.

Its a chink in their armor and we have it in our crosshairs, even the MSM is on the “Its a tax” bandwagon, we must stay hot on this.

Doesn’t matter. Now that the High Court has ruled it’s a tax that is how it will be viewed-and talked about.

Did the court as a whole determine it was a tax or was that something Roberts threw in as his own personal opinion so he could ram it thru???

The Obama crew is still saying it is not a tax...

Looks like they greased a pig and are sittin' back laughing watching us trying to get ahold of it...

Oh, Maxine, you don’t need to warp your brain on that issue. John Roberts already decided it — for you.

Correct. Taxes are mandated correct. If not I will CHOOSE to not pay them. This argument over verbage is why I hold most of these jackwagons in contempt. I did not have sex with that woman, I didn’t inhale, is just a sad reflection of most of society. Its not a baby, I oppose abortion but support choice??? Teachers can’t fix whats wrong with the kiddo’s, poor school performance is because of a lack of funding. Thank God 50 years ago the nuns that taught us took it as a challenge to teach. No kid was too flawed to not learn basic skills. Foodstamps grow the economy, I need some to let me out of my mortgage, student loans, debt, blah blah blah. As Col Potter said on Mash “Horsehockey”. I don’t care if Mitt is LDS, or a progressive republican I want Obama OUT! Then perhaps we can get him to toe the line by actively running a CONSERVATIVE immediately after the election. If Mitt turns out to be the fraud some here think he is then we toss his butt out in 2016. First things first.

Or her payoff.

What happened to her ethics trial?

Most elections are won and lost on the tax issue.

The election is now ours to win.

Keep our eyes on the ball. Keep our eyes on Obama.

someone insert the facepalm picture. That is the only thing i can think of that this thread needs. Seriously, i am at a loss for words here. I have come to the realization that the English language, needs a new word to describe this situation. I shall work on it and report back, maybe.

Most people have to work hard to be that stupid, but with Maxine it just comes naturally.

People like her exist to remind the rest of us that we must persist in the fight. She is an anti-person who uses anti-reason as she bumbles through life.

Yeah right... for the perversion that is liberalism, her “constituents” hearing about a new tax would be exciting news, as it means the gubmint is taking money away from the producers to give to them, the parasites of this republic.

Just like Congress hasn’t decided whether she violated the ethics rules. She is not exempt from ethics rules by virtue of having been born black.
