Conservatives want to campaign on health care, but look at who they nominated

By  kos   Tue Jul 03, 2012

This seriously cracks me up!

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court health care ruling, the early conventional wisdom was that an unfavorable health care ruling at the court would be good for Republicans politically, even as it was a serious policy setback for conservatives. But that's not shaping up to be the case. Mitt Romney, after giving a brief statement decrying the decision, has been virtually silent on criticizing the health care law. He's been on vacation and his campaign has been giving off clear signals that it doesn't want to make health care a major part of the election.

Conservatives are furious! The Breitbarts ran a piece headlined:

CONSERVATIVES TO MITT: QUIT NOW IF YOU WON'T FIGHT OBAMATAX!

Too bad Romney can't fight this shit. The "tax" was created by the conservative Heritage Foundation, enthusiastically adopted by Romney in Massachusetts, and upheld by the Supreme Court's foremost corporatist justice. And there would be even more Roberts on the court if Romney wins in November. He's promised it.

If conservatives have a problem with any of this, then maybe they shouldn't have nominated him in the first place. It's not as if they didn't have a choice. They just made a crappy one.

Their big idea, their candidate.

Why are they angry again?

On the other hand, it WOULD be awesome for Romney to quit now. Maybe we'd get Herman Cain redux!

FloriDUH’s Rick Scott Doesn’t Care About His Struggling/Poorer Residents…

… or the average one, for that matter. If you are not a corporation you do not exist in Scott’s eyes.   

     Not that this comes as a surprise to anyone, Governor Snott  Scott has told Fox Noise Channel that he will not expand Medicaid nor will he set up insurance exchanges in FloriDUH because it is bad policy and that it would be to costly to Floridians.

    Scott also told Fox News that he is hopeful that the law will be repealed by a new president in November, that being Mitt Romney, the original implementer  of the bill ( RomneyCare ) in the state of Massachusetts while he was the Governor.

   “ We’re not going to implement Obamacare in Florida. We’re not going to expand Medicaid because we’re going to do the right thing. We’re not going to do the exchange.” tampabaytimes.com

   Of course, this had been expected by the FloriDUH Democrats all along.

    In another observation, it would appear that Mr. Scott has been reading the Romney “ flip-flop “ manual in order to pick up a few pointers as Scott has stated to many news outlets that in the unlikely event that the ACA was upheld by the Supreme Court, that the state would be ready to implement the law in Florida.

  “ It’s my job, if it’s the law of the country, to be ready when it’s the law…when it’s the law of the land, we’ll implement the law.” Palm Beach Post- Nov 2011

   “ We will follow the law, but we’re not going to make any movements until that unlikely day comes.” Florida Today Scott’s spokesperson in June 2012

   “ If it’s the law of the land, then we will comply…” Gov. Scott in conference call 11 days ago.

  Dick Rick Scott and his hoods in Tallahassee have had 2 years to come up with their own plans for healthcare in the state, and, just as is with the rest of the Republicans sitting on their asses in Washington, D.C., they have nothing on the table. Zero, nada, zilch. The Republican’s in government do not give a shit about the middle class or the poor in America. They cannot create a jobs program. They cannot create a healthcare program. They can create massive unemployment, a very shitty economy, and tax cuts for corporations who pay next to nothing already!

   The racist Republican Party are still seething because they had their asses handed to them by a black man back in 2008. They’ve spent the past 4 years trashing America and, thanks to Citizens United, they and their corporate masters are now trying to buy the next election because they have nothing to run on. Republicans cannot win an election on policy ( they have none ) and they cannot win a fair election. They have to steal everything to get anything.

   If you, my friends, are stupid enough to put Romney in the White House, then you deserve the royal fucking that you will be getting. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to pay for it also.

   To the state of FloriDUH. You are getting what you voted for, so deal with it. Maybe you’ll learn what many of us already know.

     Republican SUCK
