    There's another whopper! The GOP has been getting this kind of advice for decades. Just move to the center (translated, become leftists) and more people will like you. Hilarious!

    Whew! I knew the "death panels" thing was a lie. Glad you do too. Now, I wonder why they pulled that out of their arse and used it to convince the American public that the ACA was bad?

    Why would the GOP lie like that? Makes you wonder.

    How naive. Just because they're not called death panels doesnt mean they won't exist.

    Liberals are so easy. They believe anything theyre told by idiots with a D after their name.

    Glad to see that they didn't read the bill and misinterpret what they read............they completely pulled something from where the sun doesn't shine and all in attempt to make the ACA look bad.

    its almost as if they couldn't find anything that was bad, so they just started making things up. Who knows why? Who knows what makes conservatives shy away from being sane humans?

    Oh, so now you want to claim that they did read it????

    this is getting funnier by the minute! LOL

    Just a small add on here as to get an idea that perhaps the Tea-party didn't "read the ACA bill"---in the Senate Cr resolution last night that stopped this idiotic standoff---one of the items on the list was "valid identification to get subsidies"-------That little item is "ALREADY" in the ACA law----so,it was no concession at all-----just sayin----

    Lol...It's funny to see right-wingers doubling down on irrational and delusional chest thumping after their latest failure to screw the rest of the country just to stick it to Obama.
    They've obviously learned nothing from their disastrous attempts to hold the country hostage to their extremist agenda.
    If they keep it up, there's a good chance that voters will throw the teacons out en masse in 2014.

    And now,because of the tea-party--neither the GOP or the tea-party has "any" relevance----this is great! I love it!

    I'm not sure what you guys who call Tea Party loons for opposing ACA are going to do if ACA flops. And there are many indications of major problems with the law. I can't predict either way, but I can definitely say that the chances of this law being repealed are far above 0%. I just don't get where the confidence comes from, to be able to state the things I hear on this forum in regard to ACA and the TP. You all do realize that all the hopes of the Dem party now rest upon the success of this law?

    I believe both sides have been caught in plenty of lies regarding this.

    But,here is a point---there are already parts of OBAMACARE that have been enacted & guess what--people love it--there have been over 10 million visitors to the site opened Oct 1,2013(I know,you are going to come back & say the site isn't working,there are glitches,but they are being fixed).
    When you have that much interest in a program,the tea-party even has to admit that them saying " The American people don't want this" is not true,right? I could begin to understand a bit,if,say a couple thousand people visited the web-site,but that is not the case.
    So,then one has to consider why this small group is so opposed to people getting health care at a price they can afford-I know the answer,do you?
    It is remarkable that there is so much tumult over people getting & staying healthy,perhaps there is an argument over how to make it better,but to shut down our entire Government over it was way on the bad side of insanity.
    I'm very proud that an agreement was reached even if it is short term-the tea-party has had to see how important working together is,right?
    Us American people are pretty tolerant & mostly patient,however,the majority(if you believe in polls) of American citizens are getting pretty fed up with the strong arm tactics the tea-party is using,thus us American people are also pretty fickle.....just sayin

    And as of right now, they do actually hope Obamacare implodes and hurts Americans. That's kinda what America has a problem with. You know, the whole, WE'RE GOING TO GET OUR WAY NO MATTER WHAT Oh wait, we didn't get our way stuff. It's getting real old.

    LOL @ hope. As if that's whats causing the rollout to be such a disaster.

    Nah, Obamacare will implode with no help from the right. Obamas biggest mistakes were thinking healthy young people would pay for health insurance... or that middle class Americans would accept $5-$10K deductibles.

    Its a joke. And it's all on the Dems.

    So why did they pull it out of their arse and just make up negative things?? Can't the GOP be positive for once?

    The supposed good intentions of the Left always end up with unintended consequences, usually for everybody else. But....they 'mean well'...which is what naive ppl w/o common sense use as an excuse. So, in the words of a wise and compassionate sage, "Bless their hearts."

    Guess we'll see who gets the last 'gloat' in 2014 when Obamacare comes home to roost...

    And I don't see how anyone can take an objective look at America in the past 10 years, and NOT see that what you say here is EXACTLY what libs and the Dem party did with the Iraq War and War on Terror.

    I'm not so sure that they are going to have a problem finding all those young people to pay. They will FORCE them to pay if they want a job, or are gong to school.

    In a recent email that I sent in response to my daughter (wife & mother of 3 boys, nursing school student, & Army Nat Guard vet) and her sincere query concerning the TEA party:


    BTW, I'm NOT a TEA party member as such, but do ascribe to their responsible 'American values!'

    Maybe, but its easier to herd cats than force people to pay for something they dont want or need. At any age, but esp young people.
    Maybe if Obamacare paid a portion of piercings and tattoos?

    The Tea Party is the best thing to happen to Democrats in years, at the rate they are going the GOP will be Political Party of the Past. The TP will do it's damage to the Nation, as in the Billions lost during the Repub shutdown, but in the long run they will be worth every penny to ensure that the radicals within the GOP never win the Whitehouse and to cause a major upheval within the GOP. Maybe if the American people a rational Political Party based on Common Sense, the Will of the People and the Good of the Nation will take it's place, now That would be worth having to listen to their constant whining for the last five years.

    But,that is just your opinion(or a very small groups opinion). Young people up to the age of 26 get to stay on their parents policy(that is just one thing ACA has done)And from the reports I have been hearing young people(don't know what age group your talking about here 30s-40s)do need & want affordable health care.For themselves & for their children(thanks to the ACA-now there are no more lifetime caps on what Insurance will pay) These are good things-so people don't go bankrupt paying the outrageous doctor bills.People no longer get refused by Insurance Company's for pre-existing conditions,again another good thing enacted by the ACA.
    I find it remarkable that it is "mandatory" for people to have car insurance(now don't come back & give me the crap about,"you don't need car insurance if you don't drive on the roads "excuse) & the Government wasn't shut down over that "mandatory" law,but,now,that OBAMA is helping millions of people with good affordable health care(which is just as important as car insurance)& has tackled an issue that the greedy,money hungry Insurance Companys & Insurance lobbiests have won for over 50 years,somehow,it is an evil thing.
    In my opinion,if the Insurance Company's "would" have treated people fairly,with good policy's & affordable primiums to begin with-"WE" wouldn't even be having this discussion.
    When the bottom line for the Insurance Company's becomes more important than people's lives-therein lies a problem.You want Government out of the health care issue-go after the Insurance Company's & protest against them!
