A lot of these problems are the result of uninformed Republican primary voters too busy making money to do the political homework required.
I totally misunderstood. I thought you were just one of those guys who sit around idly talking about revolution on the internet all day, but have never actually done any shooting.
How many politicians have you killed since your revolution began? Who's next?
The snow ball has a better chance. This will never, ever be undone. That is why the decision is so devastating. Oh ppl will think they can do something by voting in anger . . . but the deed is done.
Bushbots are no less part of a cult of personality than are the Obamabots.
Same cult - different messiah.
you missed an oops - you got Miers name wrong too.
Actually, can’t use reconciliation on the individual mandate because it doesn’t meet other tests. Trust me, reconciliation on this goes nowhere.
That is because you have lost your powers of discernment, if you ever had any. My mission is to seek and spread the truth and to battle falsehood. Case in point: your claim that Romney is "the most liberal governor in history". Everyone here knows that this is just not so. You're mad at me because I am one of the few people left on this site who calls lies told against Romney what they are.

Over and over and over again, I have reminded people I know of the need for them to take care of themselves and to reduce as much as possible dependence on government. Arrange your life so as to minimize any harm that liberal politicians will try to visit upon you.
And, for God's sake, quit voting for liberals. It encourages them!
A few weeks ago when Governor Walker won the recall election in Wisconsin a lot of conservatives mocked the “Wisconsin crying man” who said repeated something to the effect “democracy died tonight” “America as we knew it is dead” and he blubbered without shame on national TV.
Unfortunately, we have a lot of Wisconsin crying men (WCM’s) on the conservative side. It would not surprise me to find that some who mocked the guy a few weeks ago are now saying the exact same thing from the opposite side. I think those who feel they need to vent those feelings should watch the video of that guy blubbering in front of the camera. Then they may better appreciate what it really looks like.
Your insight that it may be part of the grieving process is useful. I think at some point most of them will realize how pointless the hand wringing is and buck up for the future political and legal fights that lie ahead.
I’m gravely disappointed with the decision and feeling down about it, but this is not the end of it all. We don’t need to sugar coat the decision or pretend that it will all be easy, but giving in to despair is not a particularly American trait. We would do well to resist it.
And that is the crux. If Myth is elected and ObamaCare repealed, the Roberts Court has still enshrined sweeping new powers to tax. It has not limited the Commerce Clause nor the Necessary and Proper Clause. And it has said that it is not the Courts role to defend the Constitution from the tyranny of the majority.
Not such a bad thing really, unless Democrats were to ever again hold a majority...
I think it is time for us to remember that G W Bush gave us this pseudo-conservative John Roberts, and G W Bush failures as President gave us Obama. Thank you, Mr G W Bush. Too bad you are not/were not a conservative.
Is that all you have Jim?
Seriously?
After 14 years; thousands upon thousands of articles posted, page views, and comments; and hundreds of thousands of dollars donated, all you have to say now for Free Republic is nothing?
Are you predicting that a Pres. Romney would repeal a bill repealing Obamacare?
THANK YOU ! ! ! !
I have been telling everyone that who cares to listen. It does not matter if ObamaCare is repealed in the Congress or Romney now.
Roberts gave Congress vast new powers that will never be curtailed.
Roberts did more harm to us this week than almost anyone has in decades.
Correct - GWB is the reason we have Obama in the first place. As mad as that makes some people - a radical like obama would never have been thought possible but for the absolute disaster of GWB’s second term.
Now we are living in GWB’s third term, but on steroids.
There is also a strong possibility that things will not proceed as you fear. Perhaps something good will come out of this. You just never can know for sure.
The Supreme Court’s gutting of the Constitution in the Obamacare case was the bad fruit of the GW Bush administration, no doubt about it. But it was also the first-fruits of Romney Republicanism.
You can rest assured that if we had less than 60 votes to repeal, it would, for the purposes of that vote, not be considered a tax.
