[Scuba]

1. Scott Walker didn't turn down the money because he hates the President.

He turned down the money because he wants to be President.

4. Ditto Bobby Jindal /nt.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Republicans cut off the noses of their constituents to spite Obama's face. nt

[world wide wally]

interests?

8. Thank You, Jon Stweart!

Now WHY aren't our celebrity Dems on every Talk Show and and Cable News Networks saying the Exact Same THING?

It would be especially effective in the debtor Southern States to point out that they are turning down FREE Money. I live in rural, Red Arkansas which has opted IN, but I always point out that, as a debtor state (we get back $1.36 for every dollar we put in), that it is money from New York and California that is paying for OUR kids to go to the doctor when they get sick.
Only a IDIOT would turn down FREE MONEY, especially in these areas drowning in extreme poverty.

IIRC, some states like Mississippi and Alabama that declined the Medicaid Expansion get back $1.80 or more for every dollar they put in.
Man, we should have OUR people blanketing these states with the facts and ridiculing the Republicans.

<TV Commercial in Mississippi>
Wouldn't it be nice if you could go to the Doctor when you get sick?
You could... if your state didn't close the door to ObamaCare.
Contact YOUR Representative,
and tell them that you want you kids to be able to go to the doctor when they get sick.

Your Representative's kids can go to the doctor when they get sick.
Your kids should be able to go to the Doctor when they get sick too.

I have talked with some very obstinate Conservatives/Republicans in our area who have NO Health Insurance,
and the family lives on less than $25,000/year, and STILL condemn ObamaCare.
I tell them that my Wife & I will NOW be able to go to a doctor when we get sick.
GO ahead and sign up, and you and your children will be able to go to a doctor when they get sick too.

I am a vocal critic of ObamaCare on DU.
There are MANY things wrong with this Republican Health Insurance Plan,
but the Medicaid Expansion is not one of them.

9. that's not really fair

Because they hate the working poor too.

In fact, they probably hate the working poor more than they hate the President.

At least, they HURT the working poor more than they HURT the President.

10. Spot on Jon! You just pissed off a lot of RWing trolls!

And for that sir, I salute you!
