got ALL of the blame. At the same time--Obamacare began to roll out. Obola and his regime were all predicting how good it would be. Predictions were that the R's would be destroyeA bit more than a year ago--the Demons forced a shutdown of Washington. ALL of the polls--showed the republicans d the next election in 014.Some predicted the demons would easily retake the house...and get a veto-proof senate majority. The republican party would be dead--the Tea party was over. For a couple of dark weeks in October...that did seem possible..

Then something happened...OBAMACARE... it opened up..or should I say..FAILED..to open up !!!

Never waiver in your faith in the ability of gubbermint, particularly under the direction of Liberals, to eff-up a one car funeral.

Sorry about the messed up last piece of this post—below the main part. Tried to edit—but am unable.

It had a 1 in 1 chance of failing. The only questions were degrees of damage.

IF you are among the ‘barely working poor’ AND planning on having children AND in an appropriate state, you're likely doing acceptably well.

IF you are not among those few, things have gotten VERY rough. Thousands more a year for health coverage (because, don’tcha know, EVERYONE must have maternity coverage, and you can't charge someone more just because they are male or female...), even more thousands if you actually USE any of that coverage.

And where are the Republicans? Every single moment, there should be a GOP ad on the television going ‘Tired of being ripped off with this bogus health coverage? Angry at having your coverage cancelled? Angry at the higher charges that come with it? THEN VOTE THE DEMOCRATS OUT OF OFFICE.’

In California, you could likely get a big boost by just making an ad about plastic bags being banned. ‘Democrats have outlawed plastic bags - billions of dollars in debt, but they can take time out of their busy day to make yours even rougher. Tell the Democrats where to go and vote them out of office!’

And every dollar spent on those two ads will likely be far more effective across the board funding for individual campaigns, most likely ten times as many cross over voters which would benefit ALL races.

While may be possible to grow a rose bush from a manure pile, it is not possible to get any working functioning economic program from a Marxist ideologue.

Oh, where to begin? ...... Nah.

Even if Obamacare had worked and all citizens liked it, it remains that the states have never amended the Constitution to grant the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes.

• ”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Wondering what would be if 0bamacare “worked” like it was promised is like asking if Napoleon had a B 52 at Waterloo, would we all speak French?

Neither one was remotely possible.

What if...Obamacare had worked out well? What if it had lowered peoples costs?

It was never designed to lower costs, except for those with low incomes who would be subsidized with higher premiums on everybody else.

A welfare scheme is what it really is
