Wow! Another gift for the Obama camp. Even Ann Coulter is having a crap hemmorage over this one and wants the girl fired...for telling the truth!
Stunning how they can be so inept. They were given a clear advertising edge with the idiotic "decisions" Ad and they turn around and give it right back to the Obama campaign. Of course it always help that the RWNJ cadre always over reacts, but nothing new there. How funny.

As has been stated on "Morning Joe," Romney's 3 major problems are the "3 Ms": Money, Mormonism and Massachusetts. Many would add a fourth "M,": Mitt!

You are being sucked in, he is pretending not to know what the facts are, just to get responses. There are a few posters here that enjoy doing that.

The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become President of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”
~Grover Norquist, calling for conservatives to elect a weak President they can use as a puppet, CPAC, February 2012.
Thank you for posting that entire quote. It should scare the #$%^ out of everyone! Who elected Grover Norquist anyway & why does he have so much power?!

He hasnt at all tried to walk away from it. he said the plan worked FOR HIS STATE, but said other states need to make their own choices. Yes, he's vowed to repeal it because he doesnt support it on a FEDERAL level, and clearly neither do other governors, hence the reason more than 1/2 of them sued the federal government and most of them, have said they'd ignore it and not put in the exchanges that the Supreme Court threw out.

yeah, its such a good thing that more than 1/2 the states sued because they coulndnt afford it. Maybe they know something you dont.

Tell me if its so good, then why are they ignoring it?

They're Republicans.

We can't expect them to suddenly do anything in the best interest of their constituents when it comes to health care, can we?

Well, ACA was signed by a Dem, they wanted it signed by a Repub. That's about the biggest difference.

I never realized taxing people that cant afford to buy healthcare, or bankrupting states, were in anyones best interest. Clearly our standards are vastly different..

Ooh, thats right, you're one of those lefties who still think Obamacare was about healthcare.. That seems to be a running trait with lefties, which starts with getting everything wrong.
