Today's SCOTUS Decision Dooms Obama's Reelection
Breitbart ^ | Mike Flynn

Posted on 06/29/2012 12:19:26 AM PDT by MindBender26

Yes, Obama and the Democrats are entitled to a bit of a victory lap today, after Chief Justice Roberts searched deeply within his political self and found a path to uphold ObamaCare.

Today's ruling will probably go down in history as the most effective GOP voter turnout operation ever. There is only one way to repeal ObamaCare and that is through the ballot box. It will happen.

Obama campaigned on a promise to never raise taxes on any families earning less than $250,000 a year. Today, the Court called the mandate for what it is...a tax. In doing so, it acknowledged that, not only did Obama break his campaign promise, but he and his leftist allies have ushered in the largest tax hike in history. They will go with that record into the voting booth in November.

From a nakedly partisan viewpoint, today's ruling is the best case scenario for the GOP. ObamaCare is still deeply unpopular and now the only way to undo it is to sweep Obama and dozens of Democrats out of office.

Roberts may have pulled off the ultimate Jedi Knight mind trick. He upheld the law by framing it as a tax, which runs counter to Obama's campaign promises. He has ensured that the only way to appeal the law is to prevail, across the board, in November. That was ultimately always the case.

Patriots around the country will now realize that there is no cavalry on the horizon. If we want to preserve our liberties, we will have to fight for it. Patriots and Independents now have a singular reason to show up at the polls in November. This focus will doom Obama's reelection campaign.

Today, I donated to a congressional candidate who is committed to repealing ObamaCare. What did you do?

Short of extermination or displacement of a whole populace, no country ever quite ‘goes away’. The Russian Federation and its clients are a very different animal that the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. They did get rid of much of their dead wood and dead end economy, and so must we at some point.

We even have a recommendation to that effect:
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and Happiness.”

Anybody who thinks Obama’s reelection is doomed is being naive.

In fact, that very thought suppresses turnout in the very voting group you want at the polls.

“We got this in the bag” thinking is leads to less effort, not more.

I do not support Romney, but this is not a helpful article.

Now, it's time to be a refugee.

In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed."

Do you really think the republicans are going to challenge the status quo? Of the whole crowd of R’s in the senate right now, you can probably name 5 true conservatives. (DeMint, Paul, Inohfe, and maybe a few others). The rest are dim lite’s.

"Finally, a writer with a long-ball view is heard from."

"Long-ball view"..what a laugh. Romney is just another ploy to keep hiding the ball....to the untimate goal of complete Federal control. Game over.

Of course, the first wave of "Obama taxes" that Congress and State Legislatures will enact (and they will trip over each other rushing to do so) will be "for the children". If you do not replace your windows with "green windows", if you do not have solar panels on your house, if you do not have a "smart meter", well then, you will have to pay a tax. A tax to give those solar panels to the less fortunate.

Your exposition of why this "tax" is unconstitutional is excellent.

No, Roberts made a tax, not Obama. Roberts handed ‘12 to Obama on a silver platter. Obama’s in the clear and can stand proudly by his promise that he wasn’t going to make it a tax. He got what he wanted and it’s clear sailing to November.

Today’s SCOTUS Decision Dooms Obama’s Reelection


Wow. Talk about going into full spin mode. What the hell’s the difference between that crap and progressives claiming what a huge victory it would have been for obama if the SC struck down obamacare. Or what a huge win for obama it would be if Holder was held in contempt of Congress? Spin, spin, spin.

The people in this photo and their sign makers are not independents and were always going to vote for ObaMao. If they bother to vote at all. There is always the possibility that they now believe they don’t need to do it again. Think about it.

Well my guy isn't going to be president, but with the decision today, I only have one alternative left, Mitt Romney. I said I would vote for the republican nominee, who ever that was, that is no longer enough. I just contributed to Mitt 2012.

Yeah, let’s use Supreme Court decisions to sway elections.

If you can’t see that it doesn’t get any more corrupt than this, you are more lost than I thought.

It does not matter if we DO take the House, the Senate, and the White House.

The social contract has been torn asunder.

The fact is, that the SCOTUS has just ruled that it is permissible to force a US citizen to buy a product or service, or face a fine. This will eventually result in Government-decreed cars, Government-decreed food, and even Government-decreed books. This flies in the face of everything that it is to be a free American.

Party control waxes. Party control wanes. But SCOTUS rulings take decades to reverse, on the rare occasions they are reversed at all. All it takes is one bad election, and the government can now decree we must own certain products and services.

There is no silver lining here.
