    WTF are you talking about? The dude was down nearly 20% and was outspent by an UNPRECEDENTED $15M and STILL only lost by 3%.... Are you even conscious right now or are you sleep typing?

    Not so fast.McAuliffe is under Investigation right this minute.He could face
    the music for corruption and fraud with a China venture.
    Plus the weasel McAuliffe used an Obama billionaire donor to set up
    a spoiler candidate in the Libertarian PAC.Once that story makes the rounds
    it will be pretty obvious how democrats win.They Cheat.We already know how
    dirty rotten scoundrel they Lie.
    Just yesterday DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz went public insisting
    Obama never lied with his ObamaCare promise.That if you like your plan
    and your doctor you can keep them ... period.
    These Dimocrats are just scoundrels.

    I don't think you have proven that; and I've heard many good things from people who live in those countries. Not perfect, but BETTER than ours.

    And we've certainly seen INCREASING costs and more people cheated than there should have been. I actually wonder how the system the ACA replaces/improves was EVER considered to be legal or moral.

    Look, none of us here have the full answer to all the problems, but no one will convince me (at this point) that President Obama and others should not have worked to make the changes that were made. After all, to affect a change, there had to be a change in our nation's LAWS and that always involves POLITICS. It goes without saying, that the ACA wasn't put together purely by "Liberals"; there are also compromises within it which are a result of what Conservatives wanted also.

    The ACA will be changed over time to make it better and more functional, but I'm very certain to say that NOTHING should have been done, is also to be very unreasonable and unrealistic.

    No drama; if you can't see the extremism... that's your problem, not mine.

    All you need to know, is that if you support those extremists then I will be one to oppose YOU and THEM.

    LOL, you and you're ilk are the only extremist here
    Who passed a disaster of a healthcare bill on a partyline vote, while lying to the America people. Now that's extreme. Who's the people butting government into everyone's lives, oh that's you and you're ilk, that's extreme.

    If you wanna sit around and wonder why there's a tea party in the first place, just stroll thru all your nanny statist garbage you post on this site.

    Look... I've been wrong before, but not THAT wrong about most things.

    We can agree to disagree here.

    Peace.

    Who is saying you do nothing? There was plenty we could do with the old healthcare system without giving control of our healthcare to our government. We could have done all sorts of things like tort reform, reducing medicare (this is the true driver of increasing healthcare costs), removing illegals from healthcare rolls and a dozen other options. I'm sure you think giving the government control of healthcare is a good idea now... I doubt you'll think it's such a good idea when it's the republicans who are in charge.

    As far as showing socialized healthcare systems are failing... I'll use their own headlines.
    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2201659/posts

    Now I'd like to point something out about those headlines. You can find websites that have "nightmare headlines" from the USA's old system. HOWEVER, if you'll notice... there's a HUGE difference. In the USA's headlines... you'll notice it's always about "little johnny got deathly sick and died because his parents purchased a policy and come to find out that policy didn't cover his illness". They are individualized problems. They are about this person or that person got screwed because the insurance company wouldn't cover them without charging them a lot of money.

    Now go back and look at the nightmare headlines from the socialized healthcare country's. They're things like:
    Mental patients face bed shortage
    - Clara Pirani, July 4, 2005 [News.com.au]

    Public patients wait longer for surgery
    - June 29, 2005 [The Sydney Morning Herald]

    Painful wait for care
    - Luke McIlveen, February 17, 2005 [Herald Sun (Australia)]

    Heart patients dying due to poor hospital care, says report
    - Sarah Boseley, June 8, 2008 [Guardian Unlimited]

    Lung patients 'condemned to death as NHS withdraws their too expensive drugs' - Jenny Hope, March 24, 2008 [Daily Mail(UK)]

    Women in labour turned away by maternity units
    - John Carvel, March 21, 2008 [Guardian Unlimited]

    Health inequality has got worse under Labour, says government report
    - Andrew Sparrow, March 13, 2008 [Guardian Unlimited]

    One in eight patients waiting over a year for treatment, admits minister
    - John Carvel, June 8, 2007

    Hundreds wait to register as another dentist quits the NHS
    - Martin Williams, September 23, 2005 [The Herald (Scotland)]

    [Guardian Unlimited] Specialist stroke care 'lottery'
    - May 9, 2007 [BBC News]

    Smokers and the obese banned from UK hospitals
    - May 2, 2007 [Healthcare News]


    Notice... these are not individualized problems... these are SYSTEMATIC issues. These are problems that increase the cost of healthcare while exponentially decreasing the quality of that healthcare.

    I'm telling you... mark my words. This is an absolute, unmitigated catastrophe in the making.

    Essentially, that is what opponents of the ACA have communicated; by offering nothing substantial except roadblocks to and criticism of the ACA.

    Now, you can be as faithful as you want and keep on waiting for Conservatives to 'act' in the best interests of ALL Americans, but from what I've seen, they are more apt to cater to their corporate roots and influences. hey, I'm open to whatever, but it has to be something more substantial that expressions of fear and doom concerning "Obama-care"; that (noise) has become tiring and ineffectual nonsense. Lord knows, our OLD system wasn't worth a damn.

    The rich will be fine. Don't know why you're all upset over how it affects regular people.

    In a state that chock full of Dixie flag wavers, shotgun blasters and die hard bible thumpers??? Virginia used to ALWAYS go Republican. I think you have it backwards, lady.

    Exactly. The Jerry Falwell backed nominee got turned away. Must be a real bummer for Jerry's kids.

    Maybe he can reverse governor ultrasound's 'forced vaginal probes' for women that don't need them, which is paid for by the state (save taxpayers some money, like the right is always crowing about).

    Doesn't speak much for the right wing radical the GOP presented either.

    True. If schools go privatized, you'll have your kids working four hour shifts cleaning the bathrooms in exchange for pencils.

    Didn't read past the first paragraph. You made assumptions that aren't correct. If someone chooses to obtain low coverage because they don't need it some of us have money set aside for rainy days and can afford to pay our medical bills if need be. An asteroid could impact us too and then who would pay? Scare tactics from the left in order to spread the wealth.

    At what point will you agree Obamacare is a wreck? What needs to occur before you say hmm you know what this is a bad idea?

    Because I care about the country and not making the quality of peoples lives worse. I want people to have access to good medical care as much as you do, probably more so since I am arguing to scrap a program that is making that very thing far worse. You are not.
    Again, Obamacare is simply this, insure the uninsured by uninsuring the insured. You didn't fix anything just moved the problem to someone else and those someone elses will never vote for a dem once this gangrene sets it and starts to smell.

    Terry McAuliffe is a crook, anyone who invests $100,000 in Global Crossing in 1997, and cashes in on it a year later and makes a cool $7,900,000 profit, and then the company files for bankruptcy, is a crook.

    But what the hell, he is a democrat and they can be the most dishonest crooks on the planet and libs roll their eyes and vote them into office.

    Someone explain to me how a guy { Cuccinelli } who was UP the entire night,
    somehow Loses right at the end.Ken Cuccinelli was up double digits at 20 % of the
    vote,then at 32% of the vote.He was up over 22,ooo at 80%. He was still up
    almost 8,ooo at 95% of the vote.Then when 96% of the vote began reporting magically this
    McAullife punk/weasel starts to pull away.I don't buy it for a minute.
    That is what happened to both Allen West of Florida and also Al Franken.
    The Democrats,who are master cheats when it comes to stealing elections
    and committing voter fraud { ACORN was investigated in 13 states over the
    Obama 2008 victory }.
    The democrats have found a way to wait until the last hour to tabulate votes in
    favor of their candidate.Don't forget that in many Cleveland/Philadelphia
    precincts Mitt Romney did not receive one ballot.Plus in one Ohio county,
    108% of the vote went for Obama.That's 8% more than registered.
    I think McAuliffe cheated.That's what this Clinton bag man has done repeatedly.
    From renting out the Lincoln bedroom to now being under federal investigation for
    corruption and fraud allegation with a Chinese venture.
    Don't for a second let his being a Catholic fool ya.
    Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic.Joe Biden is a Catholic.As is John Kerry
    and Dick Durbin.Oh ... and retired Chris Dodd.

    They first few districts were more conservative, and the further north you get the liberal infestation . If the idiot fool libertarians had not voted for the 0bama stooge, and siphoned 7% of the vote, Terry McAuliffe would be a foot note.
