Anyone who believed that Romney could wave a magic wand and get rid of the ACA has no business running a business!
He would have tweaked it and called it Romneycare.

Are wing nuts still pushing this lie?

I'm going to laugh my ass off at them when the unemployment rate goes down again at the end of this month. Our wing nuts will tell any lie and think no one will catch them lying only they do get caught every time. That's why they have no creditability.

Well you shouldn't be hoping that the unemployment rate goes down because that will mean people decided to stop looking for work when the freaking Holiday season is upon us.

uh huh, and of course you don't understand how they get those numbers.. of course not. Unless you do know they count part time "holiday" workers. Those are going to be such good life sustaining jobs. Enjoy!

Why does the right wing feel the need to come up with lies which are so easily debunked? We'll have the job numbers in two weeks.

He offered his hand out before, now rather if it is taken is another question. I guess that you forgot the leading republicans have made an agreement to fight anything that Obama proposes, so even offering his hand out he is still taking the chance that it will be biten again.



Yep, it's hypocritical. Obama is hypocritical but this does not surprise me, he is well known for passing his work off on others.

Meaning? This is why he has a cabinet, he delgates what he wants done to them and they get it done

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

So you do agree that the agreement made between the leading republicans to go against the president was treasonous? I guess that you also agree that the blood pack that the republicans made with norquist was treasonous as well? Both of those agreements when against the will of the people who these politicans ultimately work for.

Although I suspect that very few of those 19% even know what's going on in America.
Heck..33% of Americans polled didn't know who our Vice President is and you think they might know about sequestration ?


19%..shocker eh ?

180 million voters...60 million got Obama reelected..that's 30% of registered voters.
60 million is 19% of all Americans.

A bit disingenuous to say 19% of Americans put Obama back into office. Popular vote was 51% towards Obama, and considering the storm which crushed several New England States, it may have been higher. But with some 120 million voters having cast their ballots, it's safe to say that 51% of the remaining 60 million registered voters would have voted for Obama--that's how statistics work.

And to include everyone in the United States in your 19% number? You have the intellectual integrity of Jerry Falwell.

Or have conservatives given up on America? (maybe that was a dumb question).
It's been clear conservatives are not relevant
Want to Lowe spending like a conservative you are a racist
Want to save ss you are a racist
Think people should be responsible your a racist
Favor tax cuts for all your a racist
Against killing babies we hate women

So how could the left who for the last 18 months said conservatives were racist woman haters turn around and work with such people

For another, it hits small startups just starting to see returns on investment to develop innovative products the same as it does the larger mature companies that are so cash rich that they go hunting for small companies to buy up (in some cases taking new technologies that compete with their own and locking them in a dark closet).
Not to mention those medical devices will now cost more to the consumer. So, who's really paying the tax?
