Goalpost moving.

When have I ever cared about what other people think... about anything?

And if you're going to hang your hat on "goalpost moving"... well... good luck with that.

It might carry a bit more weight if you were anything but a retarded mope who thinks everything a government does is some sort of EVIL STATISM LOL LOL

STATISM NOOOOOO

Oerdin, I realize it is hard for you to keep your posts straight but this one is on this very page:

GOP is running scared because people are going to like this whole getting health care thing.

Oh... I understand. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of basic grammar... tenses, specifically.

"are going" refers to something in the future.

But grammar is just a government conspiracy, eh? We should let the market decide what words mean.

HURKA DURKA DURR

who cares if having the government do something is cheaper and more efficient?

PEOPLE VOTED ON IT AND ITS HAPPENING

THATS LIKE HITLER LAWL

Out of interest, if holding the floor of the legislature to stall passage of a bill that is going to pass as soon s you stop talking is a show for stupid people, what was your opinion of Wendy Davis?

1) Actually read post #4 because it anwsers your question.

2) Unlike Cruz Wendy Davis actually accomplished something legislatively (albeit for only a few months) by blocking legislation from passing. ACA already passed years ago so Cruz knows his dog and pony show will not accomplish a single thing other than to make his party look stupid. Which is why so many people in his own party have turned against him.

I hope Cruz gets chosen in 2016 to be the Republican nominee for prez.

Where's the evidence that such enduring disapproval of the new law by a majority of the American people is going to change? It hasn't lessened yet.

McCain is a Republican? News to me.

Where's the evidence that such enduring disapproval of the new law by a majority of the American people is going to change? It hasn't lessened yet.

I saw a poll on one of the cable news channels. Something like 54% disapproved of the new law. 16% disapproved because it didn't go far enough. So in reality, 38% disapproves of it for... I dunno... being socialism or something.

Also... 2/3rds don't even know what the law does.

People have claimed that since it was passed. It hasn't panned out thus far: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...plan-1130.html

a fair portion of the people who don't support ACA are liberals who want single payer. Much of the rest of the disapproval is due to Republican disinformation (claims about death panels, claims about communism, claims about a government take over, etc...) and those will go away when people see that they're just not true. Originally medicare was unpopular largely because you had people like Ronald Reagan running around claiming it was communism and a government take over of health care; when people actually saw medicare and gained experience with it suddenly they LOVED medicare and now even Republicans must claim they won't cut or change medicare or they'll get voted out of office. The exact same thing happened with social security in the 1930's as well. This is what will happen with ACA as well and in 10 years people will all love it and wonder why they ever believed the Republican lies.

You guys are so butthurt over this it's hilarious. The House has voted, what, 40 times in a fruitless effort?

And I don't really care what public opinion polls say right now. It's law. Deal with it. It's not going away.

42 times and each and every time it was completely clear that it wouldn't pass the senate nor would the president sign it so it was all just a show with zero chance of success.

[Sava]

Oh DD, have you guys found the "truth" about Benghazi yet? I'm still waiting for it to bring down Obama.

They are an exercise in FAIL.

I hope Cruz gets chosen in 2016 to be the Republican nominee for prez.

Me too. He'd get Sharron Angled so fast it would be hilarious.

[Sava]

I'm going to 5-star this thread because it is an excellent example of fail.
