Thom Hartmann vs. Dan Holler, Heritage Action for America. The Obama Administration is taking a gamble for the upcoming 2012 election year, betting their chips that the Supreme Court will uphold Obama Care! Are the winning odds in their favor - and why are Conservatives piling on against an idea - they created!? So how will Conservatives try to spin this one?

6. That has been my beef all along.
No cost containment and I believe in the long run, no relief.

3. it's a politics of hypocrisy and appearances
they give the hue and cry at Obama's Bushite policies (illegal attacks and wars (Libya), defunding Medicare, assassinations, and Gingrich and Romney's mandate) because they know Republicans won't look at the issues; furthermore, many Democrats won't, simply assuming that if the GOP is trying to tear down a policy it must be wonderful, thereby helping mainstream those bad ideas by making them bipartisan (even while the ideas are attacked by both parties). Even if it doesn't change public opinion, it keeps the law in place.

7. They have so many hypocritical actions and ideas,
I don't see how their followers don't stop and ask themselves what their positions are.

8. someone somewhere noted,
"They have an absolute compulsion to oppose President Obama, even when his policies coincide with theirs"
