Sorry about the "robot proof"...Hi Steve,<br /><br />Sorry about the "robot proof" glitch. I don't know why that happened.<br /><br />You make a good point about why the liberals are so upset that the Supreme Court decided to strike down that archaic law. Of course it is because they worry that they can't steal elections anymore without one of their pet projects of voter fraud intact!<br /><br />I don't know what will ultimately happen regarding the looming "shutdown" of the government. But the hypocrisy of the Dems (Obama golfing again, Pelosi supposedly "celebrating" her 50th anniversary [which was 3 weeks ago] this past weekend, and Reid going to a gay "wedding" - one of the "men" is some big fund raiser of his or something); and their lack of "urgency" or even an appearance of being willing to negotiate is very telling.<br /><br />I love the fact that the TEA Party is getting under their skin! They haven't seen ANYTHING yet!<br /><br /> Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-66461039248425864812013-09-30T11:55:29.375-07:002013-09-30T11:55:29.375-07:00Hey Christine!

Anyway ...<br /><br />For someone as well versed in "Green Eggs and Ham" as the previous commentor, I'm surprised he's not more knowledgable in the "Affordable Care Act"; they are about on the same level of reality as to how things work. Though I think the writer of Green Eggs was probably more honest. <br />I find it amazing how liberals continually point out how the Supreme Court deemed Obama-care "constitutional" ... yet cry and blow snot when the Supreme Court struck down part of an archaic law (Voting Act of 1965) claiming "voter suppression". Which by the way, team Obama isn't going to enforce the Supreme Court ruling on that, but are suing various states because they can't prevail without voter fraud.stevehttp://cryandhowl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-41409486340579302532013-09-25T17:19:17.569-07:002013-09-25T17:19:17.569-07:00Well, one last desperate attempt to kill the ACA (...Well, one last desperate attempt to kill the ACA (Obamacare), by eithet defunding it, or shutting down the government. Gotta admre that Cruz—not many people try that hard to put themselves out of work.<br /><br />The “Green Eggs and Ham” was an attention-grabber, but anyone who's actually <i>read</i> the story knows the truth: once the character actually <i>tried</i> the green eggs and ham, he <i>liked</i> them. And that, hostess, is the real lesson of Cruz's tirade. He, like the TEAbaggers who sent him, live in fear that if the ACA is actually allowed to take effect, <i><b>it will work</b></i>, and work so well that everyone will wonder what was so 'scary' about it in the first place.<br /><br />That seems to be another part of the GOPlan: first it was “repeal and replace” but no one, not Cain nor McConnell nor Ryan, nor even Romney, came up with what the “replace” part would be. From 2009 on, the cry was <i> repeal, repeal, repeal</i> and the Republicans have tried to do it, again and again—41 times at last count. They demanded it be sent to the Supreme Court to judge its constitutionality, and the Justices sent it back saying, yes, it was.<br />All the while the public has been given horror stories about how the ACA won't work, mostly from people who haven't actually read it; from <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/19/anti-obamacare-ad-colleges_n_3954819.html" rel="nofollow"> 'death panels'</a> to tales of how it's not working already, because many states can't implement it. (Actually, some states, such as Florida and Virginia, <i>refuse</i> to implement it.) Indeed, less than two weeks ago, tales were being spread about how even Warren Buffet thought Obamacare should be scrapped—when in fact <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/09/yet-another-conservative-urban-legend-takes-root" rel="nofollow"> he never said that</a>. Now there's a spate of ads trying to convince twentysomethings that they <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/19/anti-obamacare-ad-colleges_n_3954819.html" rel="nofollow"> really don't need Obamacare</a>.<br /><br />The GOPpers can't vote away Obamacare, and they can’t stop it from taking effect, just as they haven’t been able to repeal or defund it in every federal budget fight since it passed in 2009—including their latest rants. <br /><br />This Cruzade will not end well for Republicans.GMpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189308176043748343noreply@blogger.com
