I disagree. The SCOTUS decision will mobilize people to work for Obama’s defeat. Older citizens don’t like it, and they vote in large numbers. The medical profession doesn’t like it, and they have considerable influence. Small business doesn’t like it. People who don’t want their taxes going up don’t like it. It’s a loser on many levels.

OK, now be reasonable.

Pretend I don’t even exist. Just humor me.

What is your advise to the rest of us? Give up?

I’m not trying to be a wiseass. Seriously, I want to know.

What should the rest of Free Republic (remember to pretend I don’t exist) do?

What do YOU want?

I hate to say it but that was just one of Mitt’s finest moments. He looked and sounded Presidential. I just hope he really means it.

Given that a) “Repeal and Replace” has been a drumbeat for years now by many different Republicans, and b) Romney hasn’t put forth a specific plan other than “grant all 50 states Obamacare waivers”, I don’t think it’s fair to say we know what Romney intends.

So you think Romney should say “Our health care system should remain exactly as it is now”?

ALL: Think about this:

Conservatives really wanted liberal socialist healthcare pioneer Romney out there as the first responder to this decision???????????

Wow...such "opposition"...

The White House couldn't have orchestrated GoP politics any better!

We already know Romney's a puppet.

It's just a matter of figurin' out who's got the reins each day...The Dems...or the Salt Lake City-based false prophet...

Nothing personal to you but I’m fed-up with speeches!
I do not care if it’s Obama , Romney, Boehner, Reid, Pelosi or any other of the slime ball SOBs. They are there feathering their nests and to hell with the working stiffs.They all should be Frog-Marched and put into a hard labor camp run by Sheriff Joe!
The adults should cleanup the country or get the Hell out of the way.

Four more years of Obama means the end of America as we have known it, period. If Mitt is a RINO, I will take a RINO over a Third World socialist dictator. I can bust Mitt’s chops later.

I'm unclear as to what you mean by this. Are you suggesting Obama engineered Romney to be his opponent for this issue?

I expected him to say that.But since obamacare is patterened after Romneycare, I don't believe him.Also, Romney knows that he, himself could not repeal it. If elected, which I doubt he will be, Romney would be the head of the Executive Branch. The Executive Brance enforces the laws enacted by the Leglisative Branch.

Besides, durning the campainigning in 2010 election, Republican candidate after candidate pledged that their first offical act, should they be elected would be to repeal obamacare.I think they tried but they were frustrated at every turn bty the Establishment Republicans and obamacare is still with us. The Speaker of the House, a Republican, knew full well a new budget would have to be presented before obamacare could be defunded, therefore, he worked with the Democrats to keep continuing resolutions in place,thus preventing obamacare from being defunded.

If you thik that the Republican Party wants obamacare repealed, you are barking up the wrong tree. They will use it as a campaign issue but that is as far as it goes.

Mitt Romney doesn't oppose Obama's socialism. He simply thinks he can do it better.

I heard a soundbite on the radio (I'm in Boston) of MA AG Martha "Marcia" Coakley saying the decision twice cited RomneyCare favorably, and "Massachusetts (read: RomneyCare) is vindicated!" :(

hurray, o'mitten 'cares' enuff to vow to murder his siamese twin on day one...yippeeeee !!!

seems to me that a whole bunch of 'conservative' tea party house members said something similar to get elected too...

i guess hes going to just E.O. it out of existence, now that the infrastructure has been in place, and continues to build everyday ???

or maybe, we'll get supermajorities in both bodies of CONgress and they wont flinch at being too partisan in the passing of deprivation of birth control ???

wish i hadnt read this while eating, i need to go throw up now...but maybe bambam will send me a case of pepto, for *free* of course...

I don’t see how the Republic is dead because of one stupid Supreme Court decision. We’ve put too much importance on this one legal decision. Conservatives will survive, and probably thrive. No point in arguing with each other over this.

What, you've been here 7 years and you haven't noticed that attacking fellow FReepers as "drooling dolts", "Jackasses", and "Sheep", just to cite three examples on this thread (one I made myself), isn't a perpetual thrill here?

The best advice I could give anyone is not to take it personally. Anyways... We're all riled up today!

OK. To use the word "opponent" you need to be able to prove that RomneyCare was verifiable as "oppositional" to ObamaCare.

Otherwise, please don't try to suddenly draw "distinctions" tween one socialist healthcare plan from another...

(That's like trying trying to draw distinctions between a suction abortion that dismembers a three-month pre-born vs. a partial-birth abortion that sucks the brains pre-birth canal delivery...with both you wind up with deceased offspring)
