I can't friggin stand it!

These tea baggin jerk idiots keep saying things like, "Obamacare is costing the US jobs" (already!) and no one in the media ever asks them "HOW"? How is Obamacare costing us jobs now or going to cost us jobs in the future????

Then they say it is going to "ruin the economy" Fucking "HOW?"

It's going to increase insurance costs, "Where did you get that stupid information?"

"It is going to be a train wreck" "OK dip-shit go on and tell me exactly how Obamacare is going to be a "train-wreck besides the fact that you are probably going to look like a total idiot for fighting it'"

And then it is socialism, and they want their liberty, and don't tread on me and wa wa wa.

Why doesn't the media call them on this complete line of bullshit?



Oh and I had been going over to post on Rush Limbaugh's FB account. He had 2 that were for him and the rest are all anti-Rush. Anyway the one that I had posted on is now down. I was on it earlier today but now it is gone. There were a lot of anti-Rush people posting on that site also.

Not tough enough, but he did ask questions that others are not willing to ask.

They never read the bills. They're only in it for the money.

7. some small companies HAVE terminated their healthcare policies for workers

...so if a small company decides they can't afford it any longer, or even if they don't WANT to offer healthcare insurance to their employees any longer, why exactly is that the fault of the ACA? But the GOP won't accuse those small businesses of being greedy or mean-spirited. So it gets blamed on the ACA.

It's entirely possible that these workers who no longer have healthcare through their employer might just get a better deal on the exchanges, but the GOP can't possibly bring themselves to say that.

The GOP inflates the total number into the "millions" with no supporting data.

And by the way, Ted Cruz, two million people signing a petition is not evidence of a massive "rising up" of the American people against the ACA. He keeps saying the House "listened to the American people" and tried to kill Obamacare. And if ONLY the Senate would LISTEN to the American people....Cruz is a malevolent demagogue, willing to bend any info to his point of view. And there will always be SOME people in his corner. Thank goodness, not that many.
