ok Gordo..
my question is, why in the hell did you butt in with that? I obviously wasn't talking about the campaign.. so why in the hell would you throw a stop stick into a perfectly good conversation?
Ha! This was the "perfectly good conversation" you think I threw a stop stick into.
because Obama championed it.. Had it been Bush, not a single (R) would have said a peep... The individual mandate was around before Hillarycare, it was what the GOP was going to 'counter' her idea with.. The GOP loved the idea right up until Obama used it, then it became evil.. and a r/d issue..
Think about it, you are forced to buy health insurance from a private company.. sure, that's a 'dem' idea..
and to show you how the GOP totally fucked up the message... brilliantly btw, this mandate is considered the height of Obama's socialistic policies.. it not only is proof he's a Marxist, but it also proves he's 'European'... even tho European's get their healthcare for free..
I mean, it's freaking amazing how the GOP was able to turn a plan that makes you buy from the private sector into socialism..
You turned the conversation around to being only a partisan issue. So that's what I responded to. You quit discussing policy a long time ago, remember?
And speaking of, Congress voted to repeal the CLASS Act, since HHS suspended the program. It had done it's job, which was to provide phony revenue for the COB scoring of Obamacare. I don't know why the Dems would bother fighting it, it's served its purpose.
