	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

“Cruz was a key player in last year’s fight against the law and pushed his colleagues in Congress to try to defund Obamacare ahead of a looming spending deadline.”

An effort that was thwarted by most of the Republicans in the Senate. Some of which still have primary opponents. Pat Roberts and Lamar Alexander.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

Support It Or Lose It

A CNN/ORC International Poll released last week indicated that more than half the public believes Obamacare has helped either their families or others across the country, although less than one in five Americans say they have personally benefited from the Affordable Care Act.

****************************************

Oh REALLY?????? This looks like the same CNN poll & the results are being jiggered in this article to be favorable - not so per the actual poll (post dated July 26, 2014):

Obamacare approval continues to struggle in light of a newly released poll from CNN showing that just 40 percent of Americans approve of the law, and a mere 18 percent say they’ve been helped by it.

In all, the signature domestic achievement of President Obama has met with 59 percent disapproval, and for some conservative pundits, the fact this is coming from CNN means the number is probably a bit higher.

Just taking it at face value, however, it’s clear Obamacare approval is pretty hard to come by. While less than one in five claim to be benefiting from the law, close to double that — 35 percent — tell CNN and ORC (the poll administrators) that they’re worse off than they were before.

Cruz and to or three others seem to be the only people in Washington speaking for a very large segment of the country.

Thank you Senator Cruz! This needs to be said often and loudly!

Repeal of “you must accept pre-existing conditions” will never happen.

Nor will repeal of “junior stays on the plan till age 26”.

The Free Sh*t Army has already wrapped its tentacles around those.

[veracious]

Sadly, the longer repeal waits: the harder it will be to do and the heavier the cost to USA. USA doesn’t have a vast store of reserves anymore and each the health care debacle is crushing USA. Note, that our real reserves have been replaced with the illusion of _the_Reserve_ (Fed), ie., *money*from*thin*air*

[Amagi]

Amen.
