"The assumption Democrats made that, once implemented, Obamacare would be popular ranks up there with Custer’s assumption there were only a few Indians at the Little Big Horn."

It's doing just fine. Planning on running another liberal Republican in 2016?

.Romney in 2012 got a million more votes than McCain did, and Obama got four million fewer than in 2008. GOP lost by five million votes instead of ten million. I'm not convinced that five million conservatives stayed home out of spite for Romney. If you have a source for that proposition I'd be interested in seeing it. (p.s. I voted for Romney)

That's the grandfather of Obamacare. He's proven that he's all for socialized medicine.

Sounds to me as if someone sat out. If so you too got exactly what you deserve in the commie.

The GOP made a conscious decision in 2012 to nominate a candidate who had already been self-neutered on the one key issue that they could have ridden to victory.

But in 2012 ObamaCare's most noxious provisions still hadn't been implemented. The difference now is that we're two years further into ObamaCare, and even a lot of Americans who voted for Obama have seen the pile of sh!t known as ObamaCare up close ... and they don't like it at all.

P.J. O’Rourke has said it better than anyone:

” At the core of Liberalism is the spoiled child. Miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”

Now I ask you, doesn’t this fit your “liberal friends?” It sure fits mine.

God, man! The reason progressive ideas have never worked in the past is simply because the wrong people were in charge.

We are the people we have been waiting for! Do you not know this???? For shame!!!

re: Americans don't like it (Obamacare) at all.

I'm wondering if all of these rats (both parties) deserting the sinking ship aren't onto something. That would be that the economy is not sustainable, the US is overextended in foreign situations we shouldn't be in and can't any longer defend our allies, and a long, hot summer could get very violent. They've all got foreign, mountaintop, island or gated fortresses in their portfolio.

If I were in that situation, I'd take my money and run to somewhere safe before it all comes tumblin' down.

I'll bet you've never set foot in Massachusetts.OTOH,except for the time when the US Department of Defense was my "employer" I've lived here *all* my life.You don't have the first clue how "Romneycare" came about.

I do.

So was Romney lying when he promised to do away with OsamaObamaCare during the campaign?

And just to prove how little you know about Massachusetts politics here's a little quiz for ya:what do the last three Speakers (all Rats) of the Massachusetts House of Representatives have in common?

No fair looking it up!

“That’s the grandfather of Obamacare. He’s proven that he’s all for socialized medicine.”

You need to understand that Mormonism, at it’s core, it Socialistic. So it isn’t hard to understand where Romney is coming from. Actually, pick an organized religion and I think you will find Socialism at it’s core as well. Put a “church person” in public office and you will likely find that they pursue a “socialist agenda.” The one that galls me is Reid. He should be excommunicated from the Mormon Church, but the “boys up in Salt Lake City” are hiding under there pulpits.

“So was Romney lying”

Yes. Regardless of the question. Funny how people ignore all his 2 faced bull when it suits.

I think one common thread Republicans should jump on is that all politics are NOT local. The Dems are merely trying to get another vote for their national agenda, one more party vote in D.C. just as they did for Obamacare. And once they get that vote it’s for six years and they could give a flying whatever what their constituents think for five of those years. They’ve nationalized Congress, something that needs to be undone.

Another winning issue for pubs would be to keep our Internet free. I don’t know where they are on this but they’d better get their sorry butts on keeping the Internet before it’s too late.

How’s 4 more years of the destruction of this country working?

Ask Bhoner, McColnell, Cantor, Ryan and the other republicans who have the power to stop that destruction dead in it’s tracks and won’t lift a finger to do it. Rather, they keep writing him checks to get it done.

Ask Mr. Eternal Investigator who cannot seem to prosecute anything with a Dem involved. Then get back to me.
