Weasel, weasel, toil and tweezel. They voted for an R this time. No
one says they belong to the party. Most people that vote for one party
or the other do not consider themselves members. They certain have no
voice in party doings even if they do consider themselves members.
Most party candidates were defeated at the primary, so the party had
little to do with picking candidates.
You wrote "the Republican party has ..." Now you say it's not the
actual party but every Joe Sixpack that cast a vote for an R in one
election.
Well, here is a hint. Then they ARE the majority of the voters. You
are joining Michelle in saying America is evil.

On one technical point. And, most important, not by the higher court,
the voters. POTUS said you can do it. They did not say you must do it.
They did not say anyone wanted it. They just said if Obama gave up his
lie of saying a new tax was a "mandate", then he could squeak by. They
ruled on no other issue in the entire, complex mess.
They certainly never said it can't be repelled. They certainly never
said Congress has to fund it.

"Midterm elections in the United States refer to general elections in
the United States that are held two years after the quadrennial
(four-year) elections for the ..".
ObamaCare was enacted in 2010. The presidential election was in 2012.
The first mid term election will be next year. But you are telling us
the Rs lost (past tense) seats in it ?????
Stop making things up. You aren't up to keep your lies organized.

Nor do you. Liberals seem to always miss that point.
The public did speak when they rejected "I love mandates" RomneyCare
and put in anti-ObamaCare Representatives. It's not my opinion; I'm
just reporting history.

>But I think we're going to pay about ten dollars more per month instead and sign up with Kaiser, the deductible would be $1000 per year instead of the current $2500 and no more worries about "approved providers" and "out of network fees", etc. Last time I checked with Kaiser was several years ago and the plan was about twice the cost.
Let's see. $7.25/hr minimum wage, 20 hours/week (thanks to ObamaCare),
about $628 per month, before travel costs to the job and government
deductions. Then less $208/mo for ObamaCare deductible, less ObamaCare
monthly premiums ....
Oh, sure, we are fine. Fat cat liberals saved us once again.

I'm very surprised to see you freely admit that this is just one more
Obama redistribution of wealth scheme. I'm glad you are a winner. A
dozen others will be losers to make up for that. But then again, you
don't speak for the public, do you?
By the way, most of the new people getting insurance - the previously
uninsured - those that couldn't afford it, didn't get it from their
job - YOU will be paying THEIR "goddamned health care". About 30
million of them. And the illegal immagrants thank you too for picking
up their "goddamned health care". Just wait until we get to full
ObamaCare circa 2020.

Mostly bad design failing under load after three years of extensive
preparation and testing we were told. The exchanges are small potatoes
compared to what google, Ebay, Amazon do day in and day out. Only
ObamaNets collapse hourly.
Or could it be people are terrified of the fines, fees, penalties,
garnishments, and property seizures that come with failing to buy a
policy from one of Obama's chosen private insurance companies? Gotta
pay for all those D campaign contributions somehow.
Poor people are going to lose their drivers licenses and some will
lose their houses so you can get some of their pathetically small
wealth redirected to your pocket.
