39. I have a pre-existing condition as well, and I don't like it one bit..

If the Feds can compel us to buy anything from an industry, when will the next shoe drop?

If you think the Presidency will not eventually go to a Repub is not thinking far enough ahead. The same with congress..

If President Jeb Bush, and say, Issa as speaker where to take control, with Rubio as leader of this future Senate, what tea party wet dream could we be facing? What is good for the goose etc..

I love the attempt by this administration, except for mandates. I hope the entire law is found unconstitutional, so this threat stops here and now! Let the law be rewritten correctly this time, with the limitations in place..

Trust me, if it goes down, and we will win in November, the country will demand that the best of this law will have to be included in the next. Now that we got teased with this attempt the country will expect our future congress and Pres. will be compelled to correct it..
