GOP Snake Oil, Health Care and the Supremes Despite a propaganda push, the Affordable Care Act has been upheld. But the war isn't over.

The Supremes have delivered their verdict on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's chief legislative achievement: the Affordable Care Act. And in a fortunate though unpredicted twist of fate, Obama won.
Now it's time to separate fact from fiction and unpack all the lies that Republicans told in their attempt to destroy the most fundamental American ideal: the right tolife, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
GOP operatives and conservative pundits have skillfully played on the ignorance of America's electorate, calling the ACA the "crown jewel of socialism" and "government takeover" of health insurance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Socialism by Any Other Name Is "Romneycare"
Republican elected officials and their newly crowned leader Mitt Romney have campaigned on a message that demonizes the current legislation, ignores their past support for its foundational principles and purports an intent to replace it without ever offering any specificity. Indeed, the GOP fails to explain how it intends to provide universal health care by destroyinguniversal health care coverage.
the right wing healthcare rants are coming home to roost.  instead of going after those elusive jobs they promised American's who vote in favor of them 2010, must be with their WMD's. they set out on their as promised all out number one job to unseat the Pres., which part of was to demean the healthcare bill, make you think it's the worst thing since "Big Flood" and all their little buzz words maintained by them in the face of official agencies rebuttal of their fraudulent claims.
they were zoomin' us people, they think of "we the people" as putty they can mold from idiots to stooges " we the gullible", insulting at best and reprehensible at worst.  
do you want to be a part of that history of those who tried to sell the US, suppress it's people and deny them their constitutional rights? make good reading and exposure for your by then disgraced grandkids.
for a group who is so concerned about leaving debt on their children, did the right not do just that, "NOW, TODAY". with their unpaid for wars,tax cuts for rich, all those right wing perks of office. despicably,hypocritical them!
