    Except for rich liberals who don't want anyone but their own living around them right? Texas had limited zoning codes so you can live next to who you want right Zap. Otherwise why would they let the less educated around them?

    And as you like to say ROFL

    Republicans say Obamacare is already in a 'death spiral' — but one chart shows it's not

    If I may ask. You are not a fan of Obamacare because it is corporatist and want a single payer system. But it seems you are arguing on behalf of Obamacare because the other "side" is against it. Am I wrong?

    From the article" The decision means that for now, at least, Obamacare will remain in place until Republicans can come up with some plan that can overcome deep intra-party divisions about how to kill it."

    This is not over by a long shot and none of us have heard the end of it yet.

    How many years do we need to come up with a plan?

    I have no idea how long it will take Republicans. Just pointing out this is long, long from a dead issue.

    Agreed. But at this point the movement will be in a way Republicans don't want

    “Let’s remember that Republicans said for eight years that there was nothing that President Obama could propose that they would lift one finger to support, Now we suddenly discover that when Republicans are in total control of the government and can’t get their act together. We need Democrats to discover bipartisanship. Did you ever say one time in eight years, that Republicans should come to the table with Obama. You cannot expect or demand Democrats play ball, they have zero incentive to play ball. Why should they?”

    - MSNBC's Joy Reid

    She's got a point!
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    It took Obama a year to get his plan through. We've only been at it 64 days. They'll regroup and hopefully pay some attention to Rand Paul.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    We've been trying to repeal it for six years. How much time do we need?

    I understand that the perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good.

    Single-payer is the perfect .. but Obamacare is better than nothing .. which is what the other side is offering. I fact, what the other side is offering is worse then nothing. Just a tax scheme for the rich .. death and disease for everybody else.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    There is no plan that republicans can come up with.

    Half the party wants no plan at all.
