23. Indeed! I was just gonna interject - Are you listening, Greg Abbott?"

I have friends there. One of them has complained that "that damn Obamacare" is this or that, and she has adult-age kids over age 26 who don't make enough to get insurance. I tried to point out to her that if her dickhead governor would allow THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (I NEVER use the term "Obamacare" because the CONS came up with it and it's meant to be derisive. I REFUSE to buy in on that, even inadvertently!) is designed to help EXACTLY - people like YOU guys. She resists. Loves Greg Abbott. I can't figure out why. She loves that stupid partisan dingdong cowboy-wannabe Governor Oops even more. Thought he was a GREAT politician and would make a terrific President. But then he did his "oops" thing on the debate stage and that was that, and she never brought him up again. He even embarrassed her!

But Greg Abbott is another thing altogether. You'd think, since he himself is in a wheelchair, he'd be more sensitive and empathetic to people who need affordable health care! I've got to guess it's political - he doesn't want to do anything that would in any way further something that President Obama instituted! Sheesh - putting fucking politics over the health of the people in your state whom you presumably are elected to serve... Well, that's a CON for ya.
