You need to accept that Obama's lies about Obamacare are out in the open now. For you to continue to eat what you are being spoon-fed is dangerous.


Awwwwwwwwww but the ignorant naïve and brainwashed to a fault, accept Obama's lies and his deceitful practices, they are part of our freaking problem.

Grow up and hold accountable those even within your own party who need to be held accountable. For the many lies, and being so deceitful.

Pelosi and Reid, make such a great couple, let the damn door slam them on their way out.

I doubt it, base Republican voters are more likely to vote in any election. Older people on an average vote more often than younger people. If there were more younger people, I can see your point.

Delays?
Simple.

So the Democrats will be less likely to be held accountable for their actions.

Why?

For the reason that they know it is wrong.

Maybe his insurance is being paid from the money he gets from posting.

But most importantly, the 2012 elections actually weren’t about a demographic explosion with non-white voters. Instead, they were about a large group of white voters not showing up.

The GOP is risking quite a bit on this single issue, I would think they would be more concerned.

I've heard that excuse multiple times and dont buy it.. Republicans showing up in states that are primarily Republicans, wouldnt have changed the outcome. Republicans in order to win, have to convince Democrats to cross over since there are far more Democrats.

Mind you - I don't think the Dems have a story on the key issues of jobs and the economy. They will continue to talk about "fairness" and the minimum wage. The minimum wage is another example of an issue where polls show one thing, but I don't think anyone new will vote Dem because of the minimum wage.
And democrats have a story to tell on the economy and jobs?

I think that the bigger issue is the independent voters who have voted Democrat in 2008 and 2012. This includes millennials who like myself have only voted in two presidential elections. The rule of thumb of voting is that by the third vote, they are set in their ways. If they vote Democrat in 2016, they will likely continue as Democrats.
