When will the callous disregard for human life end? Have those steadfast on obstructing and delaying the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) not understand that they will be causing the suffering and likely deaths of many because of their failed ideology. What do they have to offer citizens if they were miraculously able to stymie Obamacare? The answer is the same it has been for decades; nothing.

What is true is that over the last several months Republican politicians have been in a competition with themselves. It has been a competition as to who can be the most aggressive in obstructing the President on every issue. At no time is the well-being of American citizens considered. It has been simply a visceral hate for the President and his policies no matter how many people it helps.

Georgia Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens (R) is the latest candidate attempting to out macho other Republicans in what he is doing to obstruct Obamacare. When one listens to the thrill in his voice on how he intends to attempt to stymie the health insurance exchanges, it is rather scary. It is hard to believe that politicians would attempt to use the law in Jim Crow fashion to cause actual harm to the citizens of their state. What is even scarier is the response, the applause, and cheers by the audience. Can they not see the evil in their actions?

The Affordable Care Act made provisions for ‘navigators’. These are people hired by organizations to help people purchase health insurance policies. The federal government is offering training programs and grants to help create these ‘navigators’. In order to obstruct this process, Hudgens says in the video below,

1. Apparently the only thing Republican lawmakers are capable of doing is in the area of

obstructionism. They took over McConnell's most prime goal to defeat all of Obama's proposals and 'bring him down'. In effect this is against the interests of the American people and actually a middle finger against those very people. The b......ds even entertaining the idea of bringing the country to a stand still. Well they have in a sense by their inaction in Congress.

2. The GOP has fallen into an abyss of cynical disregard for life and true freedom.

The Republican party has turned into a pile of shit that some people, because of family ties and history, are unable to turn away from it. How could anyone support a political party that cares less if a bridge falls down and kills people, or dies because they can't afford health care, or thinks it's OK to torture, or hates a President because he's not white, or,,, on an on an on an on..

3. I live in Georgia...

...and can assure you, the people here live in an alternate reality. Their ignorance is astounding, and they're like puddy in the hands of conservative politicians who feed them lies, pretzel-twisted "facts", and appeal to their baser instincts of fear and hatred.

Just 20 years ago, Georgia was arguably the most progressive of the southern states (excluding Florida), but ever since about 2001-02 the Peach State has sunk about as low as Mississippi and Louisiana.
