Does anyone remember back to 2006?

Romney signed the Mass healthcare bill in that year, and as I remember the far right was overjoyed: now those deadbeat hippies who would rather spend their money on cable TV and marijuana (or insert two luxury items the far right thinks poor people shouldn't have) won't be able to dump their medical bills on the rest of us.

The BIGGEST problem Obamacare has, in their eyes, is the guy whose signature is at the bottom of it is not a Republican.

2. It may be by 2020 the GOP will have re-written history and the ACA will become Cruzcare. Cruz

Will explain he fought harder than anyone so it needs his name on it. I don't delude myself the ACA is perfect but it has to a helluva better than no insurance for so many.

about it, which was the beginning of the end for that asshole.

What I found most funny is that idiot Perry used the left's (and even the MSM) talking points about how "out of touch he was"...Perry is so dumb he would have never thought to use that on his own. His team watched the MSM response and told him to run with it....didn't get him that far.

Rick Perry makes Bush II look like a genius, which is why I am such a pessimist as the average (meaning not the 1% as we all know why they vote Republican) American people are so stupid to elect these morons. I wish it would, but I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.

There's plenty of blame to go around but I blame them the most, and it's going to get worse with the "redistricting." They deserve what they get but will take us all down with them.

Jeepers....sorry I just went off on a huge rant but I'm frustrated, disgusted, hopeless and pissed off.

ETA to correct wrongly placed commas as I am watching the GA-LSU game.

that Democrats later embraced that plan based on the guy whose signature is at bottom.
