21. No, what they have figured out

Sun Nov 4, 2012, 04:50 PM

is what a certain segment of the population considers "their best interest". People who oppose Obamacare fall into just 2 categories...Those who have employer provided insurance and those who simply believe they don't need health insurance. Democrats would do well to figure out just what is the white working class believes is in their best interest...until we do, the Republicans will continue to be a ball & chain dragging us ever backward.
