2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

I tend to think differently Roy. Here's some food for thought.

Romney is likely going to spend the rest of the campaign making this an issue. HOWEVER... He can promise to repeal it all he wants. Unless he comes up with a better plan to replace it with - and fast, I might add - such a promise is not going to get him very far.

The GOP has already said they plan to repeal and replace, keeping the more popular sections while striking down the tax mandate.

And he's not doing too well, I might add. He's practically given up trying to win over voters in the state that he was governor of, and even members of his campaign team have been quoted as saying that the Latino vote is "a lost cause" for him now.

First latinos do not make up much of a vote in swing states, second not doing so well? NBC News-Marist has Romney TIED in three swing states, Michigan, New Hampshire, and North Carolina. To make matters worse for Obama the D/R/I in the Michigan poll is 32/25/43 without leaners, and 46/37/17 when adding leaners. If Obama cannot get above 50% in Michigan with a poll that has numbers that represent the 2008 election. HE is the one that is not doing well.

Wrong.

Boehnir and several others said that if the Court didn't strike down the whole thing, they would "repeal all that was left".

Your move.

“Today’s decision does nothing to diminish the fact that Obamacare’s mandates, tax hikes and Medicare cuts should be repealed and replaced with common-sense reforms that lower costs and that the American people actually want,” McConnell said. “It is my hope that with new leadership in the White House and Senate, we can enact these step-by-step solutions and prevent further damage from this terrible law.”

Cantor, who sets the floor schedule in the House, said in a statement that the House will vote on the repeal the week of July 9 – which Cantor said will clear the path for “patient-centered reforms that lower costs and increase choice.”

Days before President Obama's signature healthcare law goes in front of the Supreme Court, GOP front-runner Mitt Romney vowed to repeal and replace the law, speaking to a supportive crowd in a suburb of New Orleans.

"It's critical that we repeal Obamacare and, by the way, also replace it," he said. "I think I'm the only person in this race who's laid out what I would replace it with."

They talk about repealing all of it no doubt, but what they do afterwards is to replace it with reforms.

Your move.

Fine...

If their attempt to repeal it on the week of July 9th is any more successful than their last attempt, I'll eat my umbrella.

Hey it may not be, but anyone who votes against it, will be voting for a tax increase for the Middle Class.

By the way the minute the ruling was announced, the DOW dropped 120 points or 1 percent.

Also Mitt Romney has raised over 100,000 dollars in the last hour from donations.

Roy, do you honestly believe that the majority of wealthy Wall Street brokers are Democrats?

Edit: Oh, on another note:

"Romney said he would like to see health care reform legislation that ensures "people who want to keep their current insurance will be able to do so," enables people with preexisting conditions to get insurance, gives states more support in their efforts to expand health care access and focuses on lowering the cost of such care."

Gee, Governor, call me crazy, but that's exactly what the Affordable Health Care Act does.

You do realize President Obama received more money from Wall Street than any other President, and represented 20% of Obama's total donations in 2008 correct? Yes they are Democrats, but even they can see how this will hurt the economy.

Gee, Governor, call me crazy, but that's exactly what the Affordable Health Care Act does.

Actually no it doesn't it does not allow people to keep the health insurance they want. Nor does it lower costs it infact raises them
