I see you blew over these quotes, wondering if you are going to say anything about them, or are you showing you lean to the left?

Let's go with what you said so we can put it to rest.
If Obama is just like Bush as you say, then what is the justification for your ongoing hostility toward him? Doesn't make sense.
If he is like Bush, then you approve of him - or else he is not like Bush. So which is it?

Romney is not going to win because a big chunk of evangelicals and independents will stay home or write in somebody because Romney IS A MORMON.The base is not fully behind this man because a big chunk of the population views mormans as a controling cult.Sorry, fair or unfair he might have had a chance if he wasen't morman.

Obviously you've forgotten about "Hope & Change." All rhetoric, no substance--and we've paid the price for that lapse in judgment for the past four years.
Yeah, sure.
Now that the Health Care act has been withheld, Obama managed to accomplish passing a law that both parties have tried to do going all the way back to Truman. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon and Clinton all tried to get similar legislation passed, and all failed. It took a Constitutional scholar to get it done.

No substance? No change? Anyone who doesn't believe that one law alone hasn't been both in the highest degree is numb from the neck up.

Now we see why the DNC supported Santorum during the GOP primary. Mitt Romney is Oblama's worst nightmare.

Since the stupid ruling by the supreme court this morning, Romney has received $1 million dollars in the last 4 hours according to fox news. Thankfully, Romney will dismantle obamacare as soon as he gets in office.

The Republicans already tried to repeal the law once and failed.
The only part of the law that was stricken by the Supreme Court was the requirement for the individual States to either opt in or out completely, and this removes the objections all the states had against the law. A simple modification of the law is all that is necessary to correct this, and it will be voted for by a large majority.

Trying to repeal any law a second time after a failure is next to impossible to accomplish. Romney is not going to dismantle a law that is very similar to the one he got passed as Governor, and nobody but an idiot will mess with MedicAid, now that MedicAid has been wrapped into the law.

You may think it's stupid now, but you're gonna love it once everything is up and running.

Since the bill is a tax, it only takes a smiple majority to repeal the bill. That's exactly what will happen after the GOP retakes the Senate and holds the House.

Now we see how important it is to fire Obama and replace him with Romney. The SCOTUS just gift-wrapped the Presidency and gave it to Romney.

That's the very thing Mike Gallagher said on his program this morning. You've got it right. He's practically been elected.

Have you read the law?
Read the law. If you are too lazy to dig it up, try here first:

thomas.gov

MedicAid is now tied into it, and nobody one step above a zombie is going to touch MedicAid.

Good luck on getting a majority of any kind on it. Second tries very seldom pass.
