The GOP think they have the best issue to run on in the way the ACA was rolled out to win in 2014

They really think the American people are stupid. They offer NOTHING to the American people outside of tax cuts for the rich and doing away with regulations. They don't talk about how they can help Americans improve their daily lives. For the last 4 years they have said No to everything that can help people, infrastructure no, job programs no, tax credit for employers hiring veterans no. Cutting food stamps yes, cutting education yes. The party of No wants to take away people's ability to access affordable health care and prohibit the health care companies from ripping off people and denying them health care if they have pre-existing conditions.

These GOP/Tea party people are insane and they really think they can repeat their 2010 greatest hits about the ACA law being like slavery ( the new talking point)and win???? The one thing I want to scream about when I hear the corporate talking heads about 2010 is that it was the first citizens united election. The money was reason they won not because they offered a vision for this country and Fox ginned up the haters and ignoramous and got them out voting.

These terrorists in the GOP don't realize they have pissed off a lot of people and in their fantasties they think people will forget the shitty stuff they have been doing at the Federal and State levels. I hope we smack them down so hard they won't be able to get up for awhile. That is why no matter how you feel about the President not being liberal enough for you and a center right dem we need to get out and vote like our lives depend on it because it does. If they take back both houses it will get real ugly real quick in this country. VOTE 2014.

Oh and don't forget they are working on their talking points now to try out when they try to shut down the government and try to default in 2014. Let's show them all they ain't getting away with this bullshit anymore and they will pay!

You know, those policies that are not ACA- compliant? If that's what they mean by freedom I hope every person who is against ACA chooses micro insurance. But they will not. Only the faux watchers will be suckered.

People who can now afford it thanks to the subsidies and people who were shut out because of pre-existing conditions--far outnumber those are losing their junk insurance and will have to pay more for real coverage.

... you never need any health care. People who like this sort of "coverage" wind up bankrupt if they get sick or injured.
