2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Dark Sage]

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

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“Today’s decision does nothing to diminish the fact that Obamacare’s mandates, tax hikes and Medicare cuts should be repealed and replaced with common-sense reforms that lower costs and that the American people actually want,” McConnell said.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

[Dark Sage]

Whatever you say, Roy...

Every member of the GOP in this country, including you, was ready to laugh in our faces when the almost-certain ruling (in your minds) against the law was announced, and now that you've fallen flat on your face, I'm seeing vandalism on Wikia calling Chief Justice Roberts a coward. People are calling Mr. Obama a liar, even though he is in no way responsible for this being interpreted as a tax.


I remember why I left this topic, and now I'm leaving again. It was not fun coming back.

I'll leave with this parting shot:

I wish could see the look on G.W. Bush's face right now. The Supreme Court Chief Justice that HE appointed was the deciding vote that ruled the Affordable Health Care Act Constitutional.

The irony is so thick you can cut it.
