It is such a foregone conclusion that Americans for (Middle Class) Poverty, led by the vermin Tim Phillips, is holding a "we are happy 26 million people will no longer have health care " rally in Walkersha today.
What: Hands Off My Health Care Rally
Where: Country Springs Resort, Ballroom – 2810 Golf Road, Pewaukee
When: Thursday, June 28th, 6:30pm
Join Vicki McKenna, the 10th Amendment Center’s Michael Boldin, Sen. Leah Vukmir, Rep. Bill Kramer(no word if he will be packing) and your fellow patriots to learn about the Supreme Court’s decision on the President’s Healthcare Law.
We are holding a Hands Off My Health Care rally in Waukesha in response to the Supreme Court Decision on the President’s health care takeover.
This is one of the most important rulings in our nation’s history but our work doesn’t end here. Our nation needs health care reform that utilizes open markets and isn’t dictated to us by unelected bureaucrats.
Micheal Boldin will be joining us from the Tenth Amendment Center to help us understand the decision and how we can take action to create the change we need.
Ok now sit down and follow along. Americans for Prosperity(AFP), is going to hold a rally tonight to celebrate the (probable)end of Obamacare, while also supporting Mitt Romney for president, yet Obamacare is basically modeled after the health care reform (Romneycare) that Governor Romney passed when he was Governor of Massachusetts. One of the things that the right wing is so very upset about, is that there is an individual mandate that everyone have insurance that the republicans came up with in the 90's when Hillary Clinton was trying to reform health care. The individual mandate has been supported across the right wing spectrum from Newt Gingrich to Tommy Thompson,
Now because this came from President Obama and the republicans have made it their only mission to make sure he fails, then no one on the right supports an individual mandate anymore.
Let's try and wrap up this in terms of AFP. They adamantly oppose President Obama's Obamacare, while they support Mitt Romney and pretend that Romneycare does not exist. They were for the individual before they were against it and now they are holding a rally on a foregone court decision touting the end of what they were for before they were against.
Confusing isnt it? And they want to be taken seriously?
PS: more on the Supreme Court ruling when it comes!
I am glad to admit that I was wrong!! The Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare!
The Supreme Court upheld President Obama's health care law today in a splintered, complex opinion that gives Obama a major election-year victory.
Basically. the justices said that the individual mandate -- the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance or pay a fine -- is constitutional as a tax.
Chief Justice John Roberts -- a conservative appointed by President George W. Bush -- provided the key vote to preserve the landmark health care law, which figures to be a major issue in Obama's re-election bid against Republican opponent Mitt Romney.
Complete ruling here!

I am sure you are aware that your scumbag of a Governor, Walker, has just proclaimed he will not implement the health care law. Thus committing what I believe is a felony. When will this moron be indicted?!
ReplyDeleteWe are aware of our governor's anti-health care stance. We have been aware for 2 years.
DeleteWell of course the Extreme Court upheld Obamacare. While the Tea Party wing of the Extremes goes off the rails any time anyone tells them they have to do something, there is no way Roberts was going to let 30 million forced "customers" escape the insurance industry's grasp.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Ananymous 12:29. Roberts likes privatization, and this is a victory for the health insurance industry CEOs who wrote the law.
ReplyDeletePeople who continue to call this health care reform are the misinformed -- or the liars -- who never have experienced real health care reform, as I have in Canada, Italy, etc.
This is health insurance reform. And it now has been labeled a tax -- and, owing to one of the worst problems in how it was written with Obama and Dems' backing, a tax that will not benefit many voters in time to see its (limited) assistance, only to see the "tax."
That aspect of this ruling is a win for the Repubs, yet again, all the while that they will sputter, with Walker, about need for "the November remedy." And that rallying cry could be another win for them. (Remember what the Civil Rights Act did for Republicans -- much as it still was what needed to be done.)
