As an alternative, Romney suggested that if you want to go to college, borrow money from your parents (clueless to anything but the insulated world he lives in where parents have that kind of money.)

The idea that voters shouldn't vote in their best interests but instead vote in the interests of the plutocrats, is absurd.
Mitt, only proved just how displaced that he actually is when it comes to the American people. He also showed a tendency no to be truthful in the errors involving his lost.

Yes, if history repeats itself, GOP should have a very good mid term election, but according to the predictions it won't be that good, and it is due to their fumbles while being the majority in the House.

16 Democratic Senators will be up for re-election a year from now, and the one thing which they all have in common is that ALL of them will have to defend voting for ObamaCare.

Good luck with that folks.

That's really amusing with Dems now asking for the same thing that the Republicans were when the Dems & Obama said "No negotiating".

It is seen for what it was and makes the Dems look bad.

Republicans trued to ease the suffering of this bad Law and now Dems themselves have to do it for damage control.

The damage is done & will grow.

In 2013 the Dems reminded everyone of the reasons for 2010.

They still exist and to a greater extent now with the experience of the reality of the ACA.

Lightening a person's wallet keeps it fresh in their mind too.

The CBO is saying now that 10 years from now under the ACA there will still be 31 million uninsured.

What was that gain again?

How are you gong to explain away employers dropping insurance for their employees?

There is no way to spin that.

Obama has been saying that he was going to start on that many times.......we're waiting.


We also did not know that he meant part time.

They'll be concentrating on the high deductibles and sinful premium increases.
