That's why the USA will lose it's place as a world leader. Funny most people in the civilized world say how can this help my country.
In the USA the conservatives say what's in it for me.
It wasn't the USA conservatives that excepted the payoffs in exchange for their HC vote!
See..and you guys bash Texas for wanting out so much. Lately quite a few states are doing their own thing about opting out of this or that.
When individual states start claiming their rights publically and object to Federal strong arm tactics then people should sit up and pay attention.
When was the last time you read about individual states putting forward bills to object to Federal bills ?
The userpation of state's rights and powers began, I believe, when they changed the way Senators were chosen. It used to be the states selected them as their "representatives", while the House represented the people.
The federal government, originally intended to have a jurisdiction a mile wide but only an inch deep, wanted a mile wide and a mile deep, and has been running roughshod over the states ever since.
I say "bravo" to al states who will stand up to our national embarrasement masquarading as a national treasure, and his band of skanky cohorts, not-the-least of which is that joke of a spokesman Gibbs.
Let's see. Come Nov. Well, that'd require the impossible since President Obama is not up for re-election in November, and, well, of course, you remember that the President has veto power. So you think the Republicans are going to win so many seats in Congress that they could even attempt to repeal the law? LOL Don't mean to burst your bubble, but that's not going to happen.
It's the law. Even Republicans are acknowledging that it can't be repealed "come November" nor any time soon because Obama will still be the President.
And congress holds the purse strings AND the ability to appropriate funds, which they can fail to do when it comes to funding the new bloated bureaucracy. They just won't include any appropriations for those new IRS agents or the 150 new departments.

Who are the ones expecting hard-working citizens to pay for their HC? By and large, obama supporters.
Dang, that is just a disgusting thing to listen to.
Realize, there are millions more just like that.
