I don’t believe the rage is gone or that it is apathy. Republicans are expected to win the House, Senate, and White House and they have promised to repeal healthcare. I and most I know are on to the task of getting Republicans and Conservatives elected and get the obamacare and all the other crap out. Juan is using this to show that we aren’t serious but the fact is that there is so much wrong with these people that it’s difficult to keep talking about one of the problems we should have the solution for. The obama keeps doing things to draw our ire and rail about that distracts us from obamacare. I can’t talk about it all at once. I would just as soon seen Juan drop FOX and stay at PBS, all they did when they fired him was to give him some credibility he didn’t deserve and an opportunity for FOX to show how “open minded” they are

To: Qbert; All

The DUmmies had quite a brawl last night over 0bamacare. Apparently, it’s gone down the memory hole, now. A few of them get the fact that not only will the mandate/ penalty eat up any possible funds that many people might have had to pay for health care, it will cut sharply into their basic living expenses- to the point of homelessness & malnutrition for some. (Cat food was mentioned. Also “who will decide what I can afford?”) Some get the fact that it will be more difficult or impossible to get care as a result of 0bamacare & that insurance does not equal “care”. But they will still cling to their delusions & tyrannical hatred of anyone who is not a “democrat”.

0bamacare will be the killing blow to our economy. I hope that John Roberts, with his obtuse, bizarre ruling, rots in hell- along with every corrupt Congressperson who voted for it. And I hope Fox News- who willingly & willfully gave Juan Williams a forum to gloat & twist the knife into America’s back, goes under.

This is the point that America ceased to be a republic & became a “democracy”.
The American people are on the menu for dinner. I hope it chokes them to death.

The answer, unfortunately, is simple. So-called conservatives got into power.

If the GOP ever had any outrage to begin with, yeah, it probably fizzled out.

But the rest of us? Personally, I can't wait for election day!

We'll see what starts after that, whether we start cleaning up or deal with what will be the start of CWII.

We now must pull back from the line or we will be forced to cross it.

Republicans know very well is that there is only one way to stop Obamacare and that is to win the Senate, House and presidency. I don’t hear Obama bragging much on the results so far either. The next court challenge will be as an illegal tax but the tax has to be levied first.

So you are one of the propaganda washed I see - so you are null and void!

Newt is the Patriot and WOULD repeal it! And you think Romney/romneycare will? Your propagandized mind is too thick to penetrate any rational thought!

The Constitution runs through the veins of Newt - and he would have taken on the activist’s judges, also. So you can forget that,too.

I think most involved conservatives have read that piece of tortured intellectual masturbation by now.

Very few non-liberals buy into it.

One can almost always find a way to rationalize something if one is so inclined.

Unless . . . Unless our OH absentee voting # s are in fact indicative. If so, ain’t no “apathy” except among Obamanoids.

I agree. Hillary said years ago, we can always rely on the complacency or forgetfulness of voters. (words to that effect)

Like knowingly commit the sin and look for forgiveness afterwards mentality.

We cannot say it didn’t work for them because it did - our politicians do not want to stir the pot and should be harping LOUDLY about this DAILY never giving them rest! We will NEVER have recovery w/this in place.

One is for a state, one for a nation. I think you can wrap your head around that. Socialistic healthcare is from the pit no matter what!! You aren't too swift - if you could read - juan is null and void in my world!

Romney has promised

I look at a politician's record - NOT his promises! But that's all you have now - is promises! I voted for Newt - I put AMERICA first - and not some 2-bit liar! You got what you wanted.

It cost them DEARLY, both Federally and locally, in 2010, and quite likely again in 2012.

Really? How much did they suffer? They got what they wanted all along because where is the outrage? Voting for Romneycare in 2012?

Furthermore, we should demand that every Republican elected to the House immediately draft legislation to repeal that abomination, or at the very least, defund it. If they refuse or if they drag their feet, then you will know that they were never truly committed to the conservative agenda, and were just lib moles or RINOs. Which makes the next congressional election really easy ...

It was obvious when it was being voted on the GOP was gutless and in the tank- there was NO outrage from our side at the time - ONLY SARAH was speaking out - specifically about death panels.

Not personally, but as a whole it looks that way. Back then we had town hall meetings throughout the country and voters were steaming. Remember, 'they' never read it but pushed it through.

And it should be THEM who would bring up this commitment to us, not you. If they were above board this would be the desire of their heart to do this. Their contempt of how it went down and everything about it should eat away at them as it does us. Getting our vote is upper most to them, IMO.

Oh no....We the People willl need to go to DC en mass to rip that sucker out by the roots.....that’s the only way it goes away.....or maybe Lord John Roberts can find his cajones the next time around....tho he may need a little “help” from some Tea Party types - or 3-4 million of them on the Mall in DC again...

There is more to the governmental structure of the U.S. than the presidency.

Should America decline and fall, this could be it’s epitaph.
