Krugman, Sanders, Pelosi, Obama, and other mini-Gods think the country has won big.... [View all]

Rand Paul, Romney, Boehner, Paul Ryan, Faux News, Rush, Palin, and tea partiers think that disaster has struck. Their heads are doing 360 degree turns.

If you find yourself agreeing with the second group above, don't you think you ought to examine why that is, that you are in agreement with the tea party position?

NOTE re "mini-Gods" term:
I meant that these are people that I and others NORMALLY exalt, quote, & swear by their opinions...now, all of a sudden, there is an almost total ignoring of their comments on the ACA and the S.Ct. decision. As well as an almost total ignoring of the tea partiers who are saying pretty much the same things that some here are saying today. I didn't mean "mini-Gods" as sarcasm; I include myself as one who looks to these and other key people to see what they think on subjects. They're smart, informed, and I know whose interests they have in mind.
