“I support Obamacare. I am not enthused about it, but I have seen nothing from the GOP to compete.”

Hey, thanks. F the constitution, you’ll trade that for a bigger government, less freedom, and higher taxes.

But you got “yours”. Doesn’t matter how much you are thrilled. You go in one inch in support, you’ve gone in period.

So are you going to be heading over to DU today or what?

If he really wants to “bring jobs back”, then he can just start a business.

Cruz might as well just tell Americans there's been a coup on our government, including the King's purge of 9 generals from our military (9 generals who allegedly answered 'no' when the King asked them if they'd fire on American citizens)

Better a legislative American Revolution II then a physical one!

The GOP needs to be more vocal about media bias. They need to call the media OUT for NOT investigating Benghazi, or IRS voter suppression of Republicans, or DOJ spying on Fox News, etc..

How do we overcome the media being complicit in HIDING HER RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MURDER OF FOUR AMERICANS IN BENGHAZI? She MUSTN'T get away with this.

Also, her EPIC FAIL with the Russian 'reset' and her traitorous backing and funding of Muslim Brotherhood terrorists in Egypt. FAIL FAIL FAIL.

...the basis for my support of Obamacare.  I don’t want to lose all insurance if I get laid off.  That is also why I want us to work, at returning American jobs.

So we've gone from "it takes a village to provide healthcare" to "it takes a village to provide a job."

 

 

This is the Freerepublic?

I’m glad he’s not folding or backing down under the immense pressure.

You don’t think SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE isn’t something to raise HELL about?

I say we raise HELL until they beg for ice water!

That’s a liberal talking point, if I ever heard one...

Obamacare is NOT about insurance.
Obamacare is NOT about healthcare.

Obamacare IS about Socialism AND Government control. PERIOD.

Have you even been paying attention?

I am saying Obamacare is about American jobs.

You're right, Obamacare is about destroying American jobs.

While everyone has a right to their opinion, I, for one, am fully opposed to those with the opinion that government should take over and handle ANYTHING other than securing our borders and protecting this country.

Other than what the Constitution calls for, the federal government has ABSOFREAKINLUTELY NO BUSINESS in anything. And anyone with the “opinion” contrary to that, IS the enemy.

So YOUR opinions are bunk. And YOU are on the wrong side of things, to be sure.

And here we go, again the DC GOP (and surrender monkey Republicans) are saying that Hillary will be the nominee and Christie is the only person who can beat her.

It’s SO beyond time, for a 3rd party. IMO

America made that call last year, and they chose socialism.

Sorry, you sound like Karl Rove regarding how things should be done.

In 2014 just before the elections, videos explode all over Youtube showing live footage of hospital staff pushing the elderly in wheelchairs into deep canals due to cost cutting mandates regarding the ACA.

That same week those videos are spun by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT etc as “the evil heartless Republicans have caused these meldical care atrocities blah blah blah” and the public will buy it hook line and sinker.

It has been said by many freepers. No matter how much pain ACA causes the public, far too few will blame the Dems because they are told by all media (TV, Print, Hollywood, heck even Sports Figures) that all the world’s problems are due to the racist, hateful Republicans.

Wait, I meant the Tea Party. Even Republicans now say everything wrong is because of the Tea Party and Cruz.

I think in his case the appropriate description would be ‘village idiot’.

America needs jobs. Bring back American jobs.

I have never seen you complain about high taxes and regulations -- state, Federal and local.

The only way, the absolute only way, that jobs can return to America as you so desire is for the bureaucratic parasite class at all levels of government reduced by at least half, taxes reduced and regulations slashed by 99%.

Government is the source of ALL problems we face.

I support Obamacare. I am not enthused about it, but I have seen nothing from the GOP to compete.

Wow! You are an ignorant Statist loving fool.

Obamacare is killing my business. I personally know other business owners laying off people, reducing hours to a 4 day work week (29). This is happening strictly because of Obamacare.

I strongly suggest you move over and stay at the DUmp.

Do you not have the intellectual capacity to understand simple reality staring you in the face?????

The simple reality that government solutions almost always make things worse!!!

You are a troll.>

I would think that anyone that announces their support for a communist program that will allow the federal government to take over 1/6th of the American economy should the zotted from free republic. You have announced to every single fellow freeper that you are their enemy.

Well stated, I second your sentiments.

This site is for people who believe in free enterprise and Constitutional government.

Statists should seek their kind at the DUmp.

The fact is those critical of Cruz HAVE NO PLAN to be an engaged opposition party. They choose to tip toe to Nov. 2014 and hope the electorate does the heavy lifting.

They fail to realize that even if the GOP controls both Houses an impotent Congress gets us nothing with the Kenyan in the WH. Majority Leader McConnell would have negotiated exactly the same deal Minority Leader McConell did.

There is just no fight in these beltway GOP surrender caucus guys. They are whipped. And so are their supporters posting here.
