My one word response if he said that in my presence would be: Explain! Asshole.

Oops. That was two words.

This lefty idiot, mcdermott, should be institutionalized. The fool is an extreme nut-case. Even his family does not admit any relationship. I bet his dog pees on his leg.

Poor Jim is getting a little senile in his old age. What he meant to say is that removing the individual mandate is “not Authoritarian} and thus, he’s against it.

It is unAmerican to bankrupt citizens by forcing them purchase a product they don’t want, at prices that are designed by the truest bastards of crony capitalists The Insurance Companies.

This was their end all to be all but, it is finished next year, as it implodes because government promises to cover their losses end.

Further, the Unions are mandated to being their obligation under ObamaCare in 2018/2019.

By then they Democrats would have dusted up their well planned attacks on why the increases for insurance are the fault of Republicans, who would surely hear from women and children of Union affiliated households.

End this travesty...

They lost their NBA franchise to Oklahoma some years ago. If they get an NHL franchise, they’ll call it the Socialists.
