Republican Sen. Rand Paul says President Barack Obama’s health care law probably can't be defeated or gotten rid of.

And he’s suggesting there is little he and other congressional Republicans can do to stop the law from taking effect. …

I think he will run for pres on a 3rd party ticket...just to help the RATS. He has some supporters here but like his daddy’s they will slowly vanish.

But a majority of the voters don’t hate it.


Oh yeah?

While Paul (what’s his last name?) has the microphone, he should say something like: “The majority of American people are against it, we must defeat it!” Seize the moment!

Pound this surrender monkey's office with calls, emails and faxes. He's gone cold, again.

What would happen if the majority said “no,” And simply refused to participate.

Money is not the most important thing in the country; especially if the social fabric is destroyed with drugs, illegitimate children and continuing slaughter of the unborn. Why people think that only economics matter is beyond me. It’s like thinking your family life will be fine even if the Mom and Dad are cheating on each other, the kids are all dope fiends and someone killed the baby, as long as the money rolls in.

We’ve gotten rid of quite a few terrible errors in the past. Democrat decisions like Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson are gone. Decent people didn’t give up on getting rid of those, and we shouldn’t give up on getting rid of ObamaCare.

This is not about winning, This is about igniting the people.
If at worst we awaken the people and we force the butt boy politicians to show their hand, we win.
If at best, we get the Senate to hear the people and we lay this calamity called Obamacare at Obamas feet, we win.

I say fight on! and awaken the public consciousness.

Viva Cruz!!

Hope all is well with you too, LVR - ‘never a dull moment’ as usual....

Just got too overwhelmed to do any pinging for a few weeks. I feel very guilty, as I do it as a matter of duty; service, in a sense. I feel as though I’m neglecting a duty. Just too much other things going on. As well as way too many articles to ping out - but I never got them all anyway.

Exactly, and I suspect that will be how it goes, and while the entire thing works out, obamacare will be elevated to front and center of social debate.

They passed this crap under cover of darkness and with backhanded loophole technicalities.

Let the Public debate begin.
We have the stage.

I don’t get why you and those like you do not understand that a conservative house does not need any help from the senate or the White House to stop the money.

It is the difference between theory and reality.

In theory, I agree with you but the reality is that every single time the Republicans have attempted a government shutdown, they lost the battle of public opinion. FoxNews, talk radio and the opinion section of the WSJ are not enough to counteract the mainstream media.
