I respect the decision

I don't, I doubt the four dissenters do, and I even doubt Roberts does. He knows it was a silly, convoluted, ridiculous finding for political reasons. He sold his soul, and sold out liberty.

Right. It's imperative to elect the man who prototyped socialized medicine while governor.

More KoolAid?

It’s been imperative to elect Romney for a long time.

I kept waiting for Obama to do the One More Thing that would convince some of the holdouts here that we have to get rid of him.

One More Things kept happening but they clung to their imaginary lifeboat.

Maybe this is finally it.

Let’s hope so.

If you think that Romney will fix it, you are barking up the wrong tree.During the campaign, he will vow and swear that his first official act will be to repeal it. Should and it is a big should he be elected,the morning after the election he will think about it, laught about it, and forget about it.

Romney is windsock. He has no core principles that guide him, only his desire to succeed. We can make him blow in the right direction so he can be a “successful” president.

He is our only real choice at this point anyway, so we play the hand we have.

If you think that Romney will fix it, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Unfortunately, there is no "right" tree.

Ask yourself a simple question - of the two candidates that have a possibility of winning the election in November, which one would you prefer? I know, we're right at the same point we've been in every election since Reagan's second term, but that's the choice we've got. The republican party succeeded in dividing and conquering the conservative vote again, and we're stuck with Romney as a result.

I will hold my nose and vote for Romney. At least he's not a communist.

More than Romney, we need the House and the Senate both. Otherwise it’s just a stalemate which leaves this travesty of law in place.

I admit—this will make it easier to vote for Mitt-—but he was certainly not my first choice.

After all the lies that Romney has been caught in, why should I beleive him this time?

But that is neither here nor there because I am not voting for Romney. Why? Because I do not vote for baby killers. I do not vote for those who support the homosexual agenda. I do not vote for proven liars.

And again, since obamacare is modeled after Romneycare, other than wishful thinking, what evidence suggests that Romney will repeal it?

Under the system of Government we were once under, laws were enacted and repealed by the Leglislative Branch. If, and again it is a big if, Romney should wit the election, He would be the head of the Executive Brance. Which enforces enacted laws.

Romney will not repeal ObamaCare.

Why? Because the Senate is always the issue. There are 37 Dems that are safe or not up for election. Add to that 5 who are likely Dem and 5 who are leaning Dem, and you get a grand total of 47.

Without even considering the Republicans, we know that 41 votes is insurmountable given the Senate filibuster rules.

Right now RCP says there are 47 Dems, 8 tossups, and 45 Republicans based on the most recent polling.

To repeal ObamaCare the Republicans need to hold the House, Pluse Defeat Obama, and now the most difficult hurdle...they have to keep the Dems from adding only 4 seats to those 37 that are either safe or not up for election.

And that’s assuming that all of the Republican senators are true-blue conservative, non-rinos.

Sorry, America, but that ain’t happening.
