... yes, much like the ubiquitous unicorn.

... it's just fair warning before they run you over. Then they will shift into drive and do it again.

Republicans are just like cranky little three-year-olds who need their nappy times; no matter what you say or do, they are going to whine and fuss.

There is no other possible conclusion to draw about Republicans beyond them being sociopathic assholes.

"Heart-wrenching examples of Americans who have benefited from ObamaCare — and there are millions who have, through taxpayer subsidies..."

Yeah, imagine that: millions of Americans benefit. Can't have that in Rethuglican America, can we now?

Heh - I hope the name "Obamacare" sticks, forever - to the program, and in Rethuglicans' throats.

Aside from the "took to the streets" aspect, I think it's entirely factual.

SCOTUS is not going to rule for the haters on this one. After doing rhetorical backflips to save O-care last time, Roberts is not going to torpedo it this time, especially if the Republicans are actually freaked out about what to do if he did. The Teatards already think Roberts is a traitor, but he knows he'll still be on the bench long after the batteries have died on their mobility scooters.

The Republican plan (h/t Alan Grayson): Don't get sick. If you do get sick, die quickly.

The republicans do have a plan, it's the same old failed plan that started this joke of a healthcare system and necessitated the ACA.

Well, at least I am sure the GOP would quickly build "Deathplexes" to speed the sick along (probably with huge cost overruns of course). Still waiting for Obama to get off his skinny ass and build even one FEMA camp.

This is where it gets tough to talk turkey, Ron (ashamed the people around me voted for him) actually did work hard for his slice, but he likes to ignore the nepotism & big finance he got from friends and family. What he NEVER speaks to is the person without a higher education with moneyed in-laws and no desire to go out and get it. The guys I work with are looking for a stable job to feed their kids and maybe let them afford a bit of fishing tackle. He thinks that a guy who can't keep up with the updates on his machine is somehow capable of negotiating the stock market. Fuck you, Ron. Fuck you right in the ear.
