US Presidental Election 2012 (1 Viewer)

I always hated that mandate.
They should have persevered with the public option.

Yeah but it's just not a feasible option in the US.
Too much anti big-gubbinmint ideologues and too much racism.

Though the argument has been made that if the mandate fails and seeing as the GOP has no alternative plan aside from social darwinism, then the country will move inexorably to a single payer system. It'll destroy the GOP in the long term, but unfortunately Obama may be an immediate casualty.
 
"we remember what Obama was like..the anti war government nigg.....er...umm"

This is all a big leap from oral arguments. Scotus might still throw out the objections.
They at least have to be seen to be challenging it along personal freedom lines.

SCOTUS upholds Obama's healthcare law.

Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas and Alito in the minority. Bizarrely Roberts writing the majority opinion.

Kennedy flipped but Roberts upheld. Strange days indeed.



Teabaggers gonna go crazy.

National Geographic Channel Measures the Pulse of America in National Survey on UFOs and Alien Existence as New Series CHASING UFOs Premieres Friday, June 29, at 9 & 10 p.m. ET/PT

WASHINGTON, June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to a new U.S. extraterrestrial survey from National Geographic Channel (NGC), more than 80 million Americans are certain that UFOs exist. In fact, many believe in tangible proof that aliens have landed on Earth and think that government officials are involved in covering up paranormal activities. Moreover, most citizens would not mind a minor alien invasion, because they expect these space-age visitors to be friendly—like the lovable character depicted in Steven Spielberg's popular film "E.T."

Survey results also reveal that more than one-third (36%) of Americans believe UFOs exist. More than one in 10 (11%) are confident that they have spotted a UFO, and one in five (20%) know someone who claims to have seen one.

- Despite the popularity of "Avengers" and "Twilight," more than seven in 10 (71%) Americans think that aliens are more likely to exist than are superheroes, vampires and zombies. Furthermore, if aliens attacked our planet, more than one in five (21%) would most likely call on the Hulk to deal with the havoc. Far fewer would most trust Batman (12%) or Spiderman (8%) to step in.

- In regards to national security, nearly two-thirds (65%) of Americans think Barack Obama would be better suited than fellow presidential candidate Mitt Romney to handle an alien invasion. In fact, more than two in three (68%) women say that Obama would be more adept at dealing with an alien invasion than Romney, vs. 61 percent of men. And more younger citizens, ages 18 to 64 years, than those aged 65+ (68% vs. 50%) think Romney would not be as well-suited as Obama to handle an alien invasion.

Tech Supervisor Erin Ryder and UFOlogist James Fox from NGC's new series "Chasing UFOs," believe the survey results are in line with the interviews and research they found in field operations taping the show. Viewers who watch the series' back-to-back premieres on Friday, June 29, at 9 & 10 p.m. ET/PT, will witness over 30 Texas residents who swear they saw an unidentified flying object in 2008 and Colorado towns folk share their encounters with the team about speeding saucers and green lights that often are spotted in the night sky.
About the Survey

NatGeo's "Aliens Among Us" survey polled a random nationwide sample of 1,114 Americans, May 21-29, 2012. The poll was conducted by Kelton Research, which used e-mail invitations and online surveys. Quotas were set to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population, ages 18 and older. The margin of error is +/-2.9 percent.

I'd love to post the exchange I had with a very very right wing colleague today.
It ended with "well we saved your ass in WW2" - which is about the most resounding victory in a debate I could conceive of short of making him cry.

OK..
Just this snippit

Obviously, I couldn't agree with you less...why is it so many people around the world are bankrupt by socialized medicine (as I was told when I was in Canada just a couple of weeks ago) and why is it so many from around the world come to the U.S. for treatment? Why is it that it seems that so many think health care is some kind of "right"? It's nothing short of STUPID!
