Are you suggesting censorship? Whats wrong with admitting to being on Medicare, Tricare, or VA and that you are opposed to the ACA, which is another government program. If someone is triple dipping and they are against big government whats wrong with calling them out.

Because your accusations are baseless.

You have no idea who you're arguing about, you're just making expedient arguments that are knowingly false, but you hope others will be negatively swayed against people you don't even know.

Democrats can't argue with facts because they don't support their stance so they must resort to name calling. That's what Obama does, that's what the democrats in the congress do. This is the Obama plan, they are just repeating the baseless attacks and following their marching orders.

Ok democrats threw out a new name.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, Democrat.
“When you start acting like you’re committing domestic abuse, you’ve got a problem,” Boxer said on the floor of the U.S. Senate. “I love you dear, but, you know, I’m shutting down your entire government. I love you dear, but I’m going to default and you’re going to be weak.”

“You know who should be infuriated? Women who have suffered from domestic abuse,” Hasselbeck said in response to Boxer’s comments. “Millions of women out there who now have their situation trivialized over politics?”

Im a Republican, mid 40's, let me know when you want to compare W2s.

I suspect you're closer to my Gardener's wages than mine.

If you were paying attention this disaster is one in a string of predictable flubs.

Obamacare approved without knowledge of its contents and implications.

Investing taxpayer funds in Solyndra though it was red flagged as a bad investment and then in retrospect O says it was worth it.

Now obamacare, where they hired a company with a known bad track record.

And you think it is a good idea to tuern your health care over to the government????????

Obama lovers love free stuff. They take it with no shame or consideration of who is paying for it. They'll make a pack with the devil to get more free stuff. And now their lives will depend on government even more.

I hope they fire some people that were in charge of making sure this thing was supposed to work. We knew there were going to be some glitches. But these were glitches that go, quite frankly, way beyond the pale of what should be expected.”
Is it a pain? Sure. But really, who didn't expect problems with all of those people waiting for 3 years to sign up for this? And then everyone tries on the same day even though they have months to sign up for it? Not smart if you ask me. Am I embarrassed? Uh, no. Who DOESN'T think there will be glitches with something as major as a major healthcare reform overhaul? Only delusional partisan folks who pick out any & all little things to complain about would focus on this. The rest of us live in the real world. And as I recall, Medicare D was a pain when it was first implemented as well.

If it were a business it would have failed with 0 visitors but this is government. We don't expect much from Obama and democrats do we? So when you need immediate healthcare is this what it will be like to get authorization?
