The Romney campaign raised $1 million dollars in the three hours
immediately following the Supreme Court decision to uphold President
Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a campaign
spokesperson’s tweet.

Romney campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul tweeted: “Just crossed $1
million raised for @MittRomney since SCOTUS decision. #FullRepeal.”

The tweet was sent at 1:25 p.m. The Supreme Court decision was handed down around 10:20 a.m.

The massive fundraising haul indicates that the court decision could
galvanize Republicans, ultimately helping them, in spite of the court
not ruling in their favor.

This was a sad day for my family. Todays ruling by the Supreme Court was like death sentence for my husband. A few years ago he had a pace maker put in, otherwise he is in good health. During his 6 month checkups, the technician and representive of the pace maker that was put in my husband, stated that under the new Obamacare regulations my husband will be too old to recieve another pacemaker or to replace the battery when it goes.

My husband's heart doctor has hinted that his pacemaker is working but is starting to show signs it will go out. If the pacemaker goes before Obamacare is fully implemented, then it can be replaced. If the replacement can not be justified before the healthcare law fully takes effect, my husband will have to go without and die. It does not matter if we sold everything we have to pay for the operation, it will be unavailable to my husband. So here we wait, ironically hoping that it will go out soon so that my husband has a chance of having it replaced. Meanwhile, we try to downplay was has happened today with our children, because we don't want them worried to death that they may be losing thier father in the next couple of years.

Now we will have taxation with denied services.

Unsurprising as over 60% of America does not want Obamacare.

"galvanize Republicans" Damn sure better, only thing is Romney has his own healthcare albatross around his neck, makes him look hypocritical.
In the end, I'm still voting for him over Obama.

Romney care was on a state, not a national level. I think that's the primary difference.

true, but it's very similar. That will be an issue for him. However, he can counter it by saying the majority of the people don't want it. He can also bring up the new taxes on the middle class...you know the facts.

Problem is, Obama will lie and the media will spin, so it will be a information vs. misinformation battle.

Romney just needs to keep hammering Obama on the economy. And you're right about the taxes from Obamacare. He needs to keep that a primary focus, also. Little by little, the media is ceasing to continuously cover for Obama. I think even they realize at this point, they can't defend the indefensible.

Yep, Medicare/Medicaid was failing to begin with and was going to be insolvent in 5 years, now they are taking 500 billion for Obamacare from Medicare...and all the happy liberals in la la land think this can go on forever and we can keep borrowing money from China.

Meanwhile, China's middle class is growing all the time, and I expect one day they will just tell us to pound salt.

When the economic collapse happens, how much do you want to bet the liberals will be the greediest with what they have and the least willing to help anybody?

The MAIN difference is that the majority of Mass. citizens wanted the healthcare plan, the majority of US citizens did NOT want it.
