"Obamacare" is not some sort of universal insurance provided by the government. There is no "Obamacare" to sign up for. Obama has health insurance (as president) and so already follows the mandate. No, it's not, but that's what the end goal is and you Liberals KNow it. |

CowgirlK User ID: 46146414 United States 09/25/2013 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ted Cruz is a true Patriot and American freedom fighter. Ted just might be the only hope we have for saving America from the evil that has infiltrated our government. That same evil that seeks to control every aspect of our daily lives by taking away our Constitutional rights and Freedoms that our Founding Fathers as well as millions of Americans have fought and died for. God bless Ted for his efforts in Congress and his unwavering belief in the rights of "We the People." When Ted was forced to yield the floor to Harry Reid I almost vomited. First thing out of Reid's mouth was, We all admire the Senator from Texas for wanting to talk, but with all due respect, I'm not sure we learnt anything new... OMG Harry, I guess you didn't listen to what he had to say for the past TWENTY ONE hours. But, guess what Harry? The American people heard him loud and clear!!! You and the other Traitors in Washington days are numbered. The union members in Las Vegas, your big supporters in the past, are going to vote you right out of a job over Obamacare. |

"Obamacare" is not some sort of universal insurance provided by the government. There is no "Obamacare" to sign up for. Obama has health insurance (as president) and so already follows the mandate. Sen Cruz yielded time to the Sen from Kentucky, at which Sen Paul challenged the President, Congress and Government Civil service if Obama Care is the law of the people then it should be the law to all people of the land. I agree with Sen Paul. If President Obama wants this past he should sign up for his own proposal regardless of his special status; what is good for the goose is good for the gander, and there should be no exception.

Obamacare is a disaster in its present form. The problem is that people are not going to be able to afford it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37475791 Then the tax payer has to pay for it in part or in whole. I am telling you right now...if this continues, there will be a civil war. The man is doing everything he can to bankrupt this country. I originally thought it was a difference of views and opinion. I now truly believe the man is trying to bring this county down. Sooner or later, the people will wake up. Then I believe it will get very ugly. Hell, even the generals are meeting secretly in the event that this idiot tries to do something really stupid. Wake up people. POTUS is at the minimum incompetent or worse, trying to destroy the country on purpose. You're dead on, they are destabilizing all the areas needed for a huge economic fallout! “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Ted Cruz, wrong for leading the charge on Capitol Hill to defund the Affordable Care Act, but said it would be more productive to work toward putting “things into place that can fix Obamacare, like health savings accounts, like personal responsibility programs, giving states the flexibility to come up with programs that fit their populations.”<< [link to news.yahoo.com] Sounds like Rick just shot himself in the foot. |

Ms. Superduper User ID: 46155084 United States 09/25/2013 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . Quoting: Bucephelus Well, since you brought it up ... Obama's father was never, EVER an American citizen. He just was a sperm donor when Obama's daddy screwed Obama Jr's whore-dog mom at the University of Hawaii in 1960. As such, young Barack Hussein was born a British subject, then became a Kenyan dual citizen when Kenya gained its independence in 1963. Later, Obama (aka Barry) became an Indonesian citizen when his whore-dog mother got re-married and little Barry Obama attended a Muslim school as a child in the mid-60s. Obama has never denounced any his four citizenships -- of which only one of them is American, inherited from his slutty whore-dog mom Ann Dunham. Again, since you brought it up ... back to the filibuster! . I see no resemblance there BTW. I can see that. Barry's part honkey and his daddy's black enough to leave fingerprints on charcoal. There's alot of contrast there. Yeah. I just wanted to 'say' that. Heh. And they didn't just get any black man to father this planned-for Obama. It had to have been someone in one of the illuminati fams. Mom's parents were all hooked up with the Ford Foundation, etc. Need I say more there?
