Why it was the next best thing to sliced bread.

They should have fought for the exclusion Congress gave themselves rather than settle for that 2 year waiver.
What were they thinking..that Obamacare would have been repealed within 2 years ?




Yes, be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

Aren't you glad you pushed off then?

Enjoy your surroundings then.

They've had quite a long history now inn which for us to observe.
Much of which has not been pretty and ends up favoring themselves over the good of the country as a whole.

The will of the people use to count in the US. Not so much since Obama.



Don't you recall?
The Supreme Court has set precedent that the vote of the people is inconsequential, more than once now.

In your own myopic vision of government, "we vote in Representatives", who are they supposed to represent? Obviously not those who voted them in. They apparently represent the whims of Obama and his fellow brown shirts.

So, in an actual vote on this subject, what do you suppose would happen? Especially now that more than 50% of the people appear to be against it?

An honest, non Parisian answer would be appreciated but is not expected. At least not from you.

Amazing how liberals cry foul when they find out that they are not exempt from Washington's intrusion in every facet of every citizen's life.

It's Scooby Doo's catch-phrase (meaning "Oh, Oh, Shaggy"). If you're 50 or over you'd be familiar with it.
