Pretty amazing to see the Tea Party go from a bunch
of unallied citizens to the ideological wing of the
Republican party in such a short time!
Hahahaha. RINOs OUT!
In 2014 we take over the party.
In 2016 the country.
You are parroting a liberal talking point.
You are not REQUIRED to buy auto insurance. You may ride a bike (as I do), walk, live in the mountains and ride a horse, take public transportation, etc.
You MUST buy 0bamaCare approved insurance as a matter of breathing.
Contracting in a non-approved manner for your healthcare is now VERBOTEN.
What contract for commercial services will they demand you sign next? Buying a bushel of purple broccoli every Tuesday on pain of imprisonment? How would that be substantively different than 0bamaCare?
I’m 30 seconds from getting you zotted as a lib. Prove me wrong.
One could argue that the Democrats have STRUCTURAL advantages over the Republican Party. Only once since 1992 have the Republicans one the popular vote in a presidential election (2004). I do agree the Dems cheat extensively. Because the Dem vote is EXTREMELY concentrated in one-party urban areas, they have ample opportunities pad their vote and engage in other forms of voter fraud. That all said, it is changing DEMOGRAPHICS that is giving the Dems their biggest advantage. Romney won close to 60% of the white vote in 2012, but was annihilated among the nonwhite vote-—primarily blacks, hispanics, and Asians. If you could somehow factor out Jewish, gay, and union voters from the white voting base, Republicans typically get anywhere from 65 to 75% of the white vote in any given presidential election. It used to be you could predict the outcome of presidential election on “the economy, stupid” to quote a well known Democrat strategist. No more. With the decreasing size of the white vote and the increasing number of people dependent on government programs as well as the decreasing number of taxpayers-—fully 90 million working age Americans don’t even work anymore——we can now say it’s the demographics, and the dependency, stupid.
Business thrives, capitalism thrives, in a Constitutional Republic.
Why these people won’t give up their failing greed, using their capital to manipulate and ruin a functioning system has to do with a non intelligent behavior model.
When you list all the fence-sitting republicans and how much struggle they caused, it is clear to anyone paying attention.
You are right. And the GOPe doesn’t see it. They lie to themselves. They think they can continue fooling people into pretending they are not leading a double purpose.
But they can’t serve unhealthy greedy tangential interpretation of capitalism while only saying that the are for particular or any aspects of the Constitution.
The gig is up.
The emotional reaction to all of their failure, neglect and fraternization with the opposition is not taken into account.
The answer to the problem is so simple that whoever takes it on will have success and will confound to the point of anger (to put it mildly) all these guys who are not in it for the right reasons.
Ted Cruz would win the presidency in 2016...as a conservative. hillary is old and has Benghazi baggage. So what's the problem with the RNC?....don't they want to win?
And the WHITEWASH HOUSE run by THE FOREIGNER is just rolling along perfectly. AP sucks as much as REUTERS and the rest of the frauds in the MSM and have ZERO CREDIBILITY.
They had no problem soliciting it in 2010. But all it seems to have done was to entrench RINOs and add new RINOs to the ranks, so now it’s back to business as usual while backing up the POTUS’ agenda.
In light of that last series of posts, TEEL’s handle now takes on a certain meaning.
Under the the 10th Amendment, nearly all powers in this country-—except those spelled out in the US Constitution-—were allocated to the STATES. Let’s say, for example, the state of Vermont wanted to implement its own single payer (government run) health plan-—like they have in Canada. They could that if they wanted to. I would not like it all. But states do have the power to mandate and regulate health care, the federal government has no such power.
So let’s get this straight:
Are you in favor of Socialized healthcare, as implemented by either Romney or 0bama?
This is a “Yes” or “No” question. Please advise.
I note that you have not refuted the fact that Romney’s people used RomneyCare as the pattern with which to train 0bama’s people how to implement Socialized Healthcare in 0bamaCare.
I hope they continue to ignore public opinion and do what is right. The right thing is not always the most polular.
Romney’s plan applied to one state. It did not raise taxes. It did not increase the size of government. It used funds ALREADY allocated to to the state of MA to help lower income people purchase private health insurance as opposed to using Medicaid AFTER they got sick and needed to go to the hospital. It worked in a relatively small state with a low percentage og uninsured. It could never work in my state of CA where we have huge numbers of uninsured plus kazillions of illegals. I do not view Romneycare as being very different from the laws most states have requiring auto drivers to purchase auto insurance.

Please judge whether an unwillingness to repudiate 0bamaCare above qualifies one for the Zot.
I hate obamacare with every fiber in my being. I am pointing out that it has little do with Romneycare. Once again here the VERY BIG differences betwenn Romneycare and Obamacare:
1) Romneycare applied to one state. Obamacare is forced on all 50 states.
2) Romneycare did not raise one penny in new taxes. Obamacare has many-—at least 20-—brand new taxes.
3) Romneycare did cause any NEW spending, it used funds ALREADY allocated to the state through Medicaid-—approved by the GWB Administration. Obamacare will cost trillions in new spending.
These are BIG, HUGE differences between Romneycare and Obamacare. Romneycare only impacted the 8% of the people in MA, who were uninsured, many gaming the system and leaving the taxpayers to cover their bills.
I don’t have a liberal bone in my body. And yet you are trying to silence me. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
The Tenth Amendment does not contravene Article 4 Section 4, nor does it give the states “nearly all powers”—certainly not any power to turn from republican governance to socialist.
