SCOTUS Ruled Obamacare Raised Everyone's Taxes: Will Decision Hurt Obama 2012 Re-Election?

I wish it would have.

Mitt Romney wears Magic Underwear.

He thinks it protects him from evil. And that brings up the question:

Do we really want a President who wears magic underwear?

Do we want the country to go in that direction?

This will cost us more money, benefits and jobs. Don't see how it could help him. The brainwashed will party until the bill comes due.

I have a feeling that it is a death sentence for his campaign.

I certainly hope so. We have been told so many times how bad Obamacare was but people still back Obama. Where did the idiots come from?

It's really going to hurt the middle class.

Heres the easy line now for conservatives. 50 votes in the Senate and a President Romney. Thats all you need to repeal this. Thats assuming Republicans retain the House.

I read today that there isn't a concern about filibuster in the Senate because the repeal can take the same route as its passing - budget reconciliation. So 50 votes plus the VP as a tie breaker will put this on Romneys desk.

There are all types of conservatives out there and a number of types don't trust Romney or just aren't excited by him. The thing is that the path is very clear and could be achieved. One of the key pillars in Romneys campaign now will be the death of Obamacare. He has no choice but to run on it, and once elected he'll have no choice but to sign a repeal if it gets to him (assuming you're one of those thats so worried that he really actually supports it) otherwise risk becoming a lame duck within his first year.

There is not a sensible argument out there that if Romney wins and Republicans can get 50 votes in Congress that this legilslation won't be repealed within weeks.

So, this should be a rally cry to shore up the conservative base and turn them out en masse. At that point it comes down to swaying some independents in AZ, MO, FL, NC, VA, OH, IA. Those are the states Romney can reasonably win and take the White House.

Again, a clear path.

We need 51 votes. Bill Nelson from Florida has to go. He was the deciding vote for Obamacare.

As long as Romney wins its only 50, wherever they come from from Republicans to a few blue dogs. If you can get just 50 then the VP becomes the tie breaker.

Yes it will but only among the working class.

People that work regular jobs have just seen the beginning of health cost......... Button your pants.....

Think for a second, when are you most likely to make DAMN SURE to get out and vote. Is it when you're happy or when you're pissed?

A lot of people are DAMN PISSED right now. Hell, Romney raised a million bucks in 3 hours yesterday.

A hot race just got even hotter.

Yes it has hurt his chances and now many States are going to refuse implementing it, I for one am tired of the left dictating to me what I can and cannot have, how much money they should take out of pocket, I am fed up with all these nanny state regulations, I for one not only am I pissed about this but I want a revolt against this, we have to show a huge backlash against this ruling.

Don't know where you live. But, get in touch with your Governor & state reps and tell them not to implement this.

Virginia and we have said no implementation. I have already talked to our Reps here and 100's of thousands of people in this State are ticked off.

Excellent. I will be writing my reps this weekend. It'd be pretty sweet if half the states, or more, refused to implement it.

I hope

The US has to improve health care. We need to be as good as Costa Rica, Morocco, Columbia, Monaco, or any of the other 36 countries that are ranked higher than we are by the World Health Organization. We are number one when it comes to health care cost - it's time to do better than 37th when it comes to health care provided.

You don't improve anything when the boot of big government is on your neck.

More silly cartoons. Do all Conservatives struggle with completing thoughts and committing them to the written word?

Ever heard of a picture is worth a thousand words. Evidently if anyone has problems completing thoughts or looking ahead to see how certain aspects of government can hurt this country, that would be a Liberal.

I don't think so. The last Republican president would barely string two words together without stepping on his dick.

You obviously don't watch Obama talk, he isn't even that coherent.

He is when I listen to him. In fact, few presidents were as articulate - Kennedy and Clinton come to mind. All three are of superior intellect. Does he use words that you can't understand?

No, he doesn't he stutters like a fool that doesn't know how to talk, I guess you can keep up with that.

Silly.

Well frucking DUH

Since 60% of American people still want it repealed,and everyone knows Obama Lied about it NOT being a tax, the Voters would have to be insane to vote for Obama now!

And, so does Criminal Contempt against Brian Terry, his loving family, Brian's co-workers and brother-in-arms, Congress and US, he took an oath for and failed - miserably.

How does it feel?

Raising taxes is traditionally the third rail of politics which the Dems tried to hide in Obamacare. And while it would have been a saner outcome for John Roberts to just jettison this whole insanity Obama's lapdogs would be yelping till the end of time that Obamacare was killed by Bush's Supreme Court. Let Obama and his party pay the price in this election then.

The big majority of the Dems who lost their election/re-election bids in 2010 House races tried to distance themselves as far as possible from 0bamacare and still got their butts kicked. Now he will have to try to defend this POS all over again, as the majority of the American people (55-40 percent) still do not want it.

I hope the American voter wakes up to how bad this law is.

I hope it hurts him real bad!!

haha

No, I think Obama will beat Romney and drive us right off the cliff! This country is so screwed!!

Obama needs ObamaCare ASAP because once more, he's shot himself in the foot with one of his Socialist mandates.

Roberts seems to have accomplished one thing: by ruling it a tax and not allowing it to proceed under the commerce clause, he's pretty much prevented, or completely stopped future use of the commerce clause by Congress to push unwanted legislation that taxes the public. Now, they'll have to call it what it really is... a Tax! And I imagine many of them will think twice about doing it if they'll be accused of raising taxes.

Those who hate or like Obama aren't going to change their vote based on SCOTUS.
