Romney campaign raises $1 million in three hours after Obamacare decision

maggiemay 2012/06/28 18:22:53

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.

    no thanks obamacare

    Congressional representatives who voted for Obamacare need to be voted out. Every single one of them has to go. We need a list like the one Bush had of the 9/11 hijackers. Put a big red X on each pic as they leave Congress.

    The lesson learned is that the Supreme Court will not lift a finger to curb the abuse of power by the legislative and executive branch. Voters must be more careful about who they vote for.

    I'm wondering how they got to Roberts! And Kagan didn't recuse ? Wouldn't that be a toehold to turn this around again? I'm estatic that people are responding to Romney! He is not now, nor ever has been my personal choice---------- the one thing he has going very strongly for him is that he is Not Odimwit!

    This is the issue that galvanized voters to form the "Tea Party" and is still overwhelmingly opposed by a majority of Americans. The SCOTUS may have succeeded in awakening a sleeping giant and handed a Pyrrhic victory to Obama!

    Nah, if anything it will hand the victory to Mitt - On his first day he promises to fully repeal Obamacare.

    This passage will underscore the anger that Americans have at being TAXED, FINED, MANDATED to buy something they don't want.

    "Someone who wins a "Pyrrhic victory" has been victorious in some way; however, the heavy toll and/or the detrimental consequences negates any sense of achievement or profit. There is, therefore, no reason to celebrate."

    Since Obama's health care legislation is opposed by a majority of Americans, this win in the Supreme Court may motivate independents, and other fence-sitters, to flock to Romney in November; therefore, Justice Roberts may have just handed the Presidency to Obama's opponent.

    I think The SCOTUS, actually decided the Vote for those Fence Straddlers, waiting to see the outcome...Many of the 66% against ObamaCare...They May have handed the REP's The Victory and Given them the Senate as well
