ObamaCare has already succeeded in its’ main task....to remove the final barriers to Single Payer.

ObamaCare is merely the transit camp.

They all have their heads in the sand. The strategy was apparently good for Obama.

Really? Did you sit out the last election? If so this Obama win is in you and the others that took a powder.

I held my nose for the bastard, but I don’t blame those who sat it out.

Romney was a turkey.

There is a sad, sad lesson from history that we are learning.

People don't really want freedom. They want security. They don't want the risk of taking care of themselves, even if it means that many of their fellow citizens end up dead.

Rome had a republic, but they threw it away for the illusion of security. We are doing the same.

Except that Romney care was as bad, if not worse, than Obama care.

Make no mistake, we will have socialized medicine soon. Both parties, and large corporations, want it. The people don't really matter in things of power.

They will. Grinding oppression is a security in a way, people know what to expect.

I have met Russians, good Christian Russians, who morn the fall of the USSR. They miss the safety and security of Soviet prison state.

Of course. It is how progressists do it. When it becomes too expensive, they do not repeal the absurdity, they enslave doctors and nationalize so as to apease the EBT beasts terrorists. They simply ask to make it even free-er but it gets worse.

There is nothing more politically stuck on stupid than a church liberal. I denounced a few of their preachers as future wife beaters and abandoners, and they said balderdash to me as it was starting to show. Once he goons went to prison, these feminsts were still in denial and talking about how it somehow was the woman’s fault and just sex addiction.

Clinton was a master at it to ingrain that in the Lewinski scandal. He did not meet those preachers to pray God, he met them to learn how to navigate a scandal to the final destination of praising corruption.

How "secure" are you if you always wonder at night if there's going to be a knock on the door in the middle of the night, as it was in the Soviet Union?

I feel sorry for the people in other states who don’t have the sense and determination to elect senators like Ted Cruz and representatives like Louie Gohmert. But we stand the chance of electing people who will be called McCarthyites, racists, bigots or run the risk disturbing our cultural conscience, such as Robert Redford, etc.

It's like ex-prisoners who miss having "Three hots and a cot."

You are right. I never ever wanted to leave the party of Lincoln. But they have betrayed their country and the American people.

Not very. But they didn't worry about gangs, being out of work, etc. For many, that is a cost they are willing to bear. Even the Christians.

I don't understand it, but it is a reoccurring theme in history. Most people prefer their chains.

The party is dead. They want to be liked, not good stewards of our Constitution.

At the very least, the GOP is complicit in bankrupting this country. They have allowed the spend-a-thon to continue. They are also now co-owners of Obamacare.

There was plenty of that in the Soviet Union, they just did a good job of hiding those things from the public.
