Showing Original Post only (View all)If the health care law is killed on Monday, how will it affect Obama's re-election chances? [View all]
I would expect Romney's numbers to swell if that happens.
It gives the GOP a huge publicity hammer to smash Obama with.
Of course if Romney wins we must accept an extreme right wing government for the rest of our lives since he will probably make one or two SCOTUS appointments that will lock in a far right court for decades to come.
Government by the corporations and for the corporations for ever and ever, amen.
I personally will be surprised if the health care law survives because i believe the court's Republican bias overrides consideration of true constitutionality.
I'm feeling kind of bleak at the moment.
