Mark Critz Defeats Tim Burns in Pennsylvania Special Election for Murtha's Seat

I doubt that anything is going to change your mind regarding this President and his economic policy. Obviously you haven't read the Constitution nor do you care about the foundation upon which this country was built. had GW Bush generated these kind of results your attitude would be entirely different. And had this been you spending the money for your company and generating these kind of results you wouldn't have a job today yet you give him a pass. Says a lot about you.

Please explain how Obama is violating the Constitution because it sounds like that is what you are implying.

This might surprise you, but I have agreed with some things Bush the younger did, and disagreed with things Obama has done.

Nothing that Obama has done has been unconstitutional as best I can tell, though I am not a constitutional law expert...nor are you I would bet.

Show me where the Constitution authorizes the govt. to force Americans to buy healthcare insurance?

Another area of concern is states' rights which are guaranteed in the Constitution. It is the role of the govt. to protect the citizens of this country from domestic and foreign enemies. Illegal immigration is a threat to our citizens and the Federal Govt. is doing nothing to prevent it.

Then there is the economic disaster that this President is creating. Our economy was built on free enterprise, capitalism and individual wealth creation, not the redistribution of wealth which Obama is doing.

Show me where in the bill it states Americans are forced to buy healthcare insurance?

Illegal immigration from Mexico to the United States has decreased so another point invalid.

Obama has broken no laws regarding the economy, if you think he has state in which bill he has and where in the constitution it violates.

Buy Insurance or Go to Jail? - The Note

During last year's campaign, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., opposed an individual mandate. In fact, he clashed repeatedly with Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., his future Secretary of State, on this issue.

Since becoming president, however, he has switched his stance and now shares Clinton's view that an individual mandate is necessary in order to achieve new federal protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Where in the world do you get your information? Wherever it is, it is making you look foolish. Guess you have no pride.

Read the healthcare bill before showing your ignorance.

Illegal immigration from Mexico has decreased due to the recession HOWEVER crime is up throughout the southwest as are result of those that remain here. Get your so called facts straight.

Arguing with Idiots is a book written by Glenn Beck. That seems to be what I am doing here.
 
The Dem's had a huge majority in congress and the presidency during the healthcare debate. The result? No public option, no single payer. They got the plan that republicans like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have been supportive of, individual mandate.

If republicans would have passed an individual mandate, conservatives would be praising it because it teaches people to be independant and take care of themselves.

If all the dem's were liberal socialists then we'd have all the hospitals government owned and everyone on Medicare. :roll:

#1 I never said all dems were liberal socialists so please do not lie about my position.

And you have GOT to be kidding. The health care plan is no where near Gingrich or Romney. This was as far left as you can get and it never would have passed without some of those "conservative democrats"

A. I'm making myself look foolish? You are the one stating the healthcare bill is unconstitutional but you don't state HOW.

B. Thanks for proving my point.
 
This explains it better than anything I could ever say and comes from a Senior Citizen that has more credibility than our current occupant in the WH

snopes.com: Letter to President Obama - Harold Estes

None of which gives any evidence to why the health care bill is unconstitutional or illegal.

Look, you may not like the health care bill (I don't), but to say it is illegal or unconstitutional is nothing but throwing a partisan tantrum. If it is illegal, then spend your money and put congress on trial. Otherwise, quite embarrassing yourself.
 
Well, I guess we'll have to see like in all election cycles. But I am not going to sit here and pound my chest based on one win, or one loss, it makes one look foolish.

Oh, and I just love your code language......"Great white hope"? "right wing"? Right wing of what exactly?

Gheeze!

yeah remember to the mooonbat left, opposing the messiah is racism because that is the only possible reason why someone wouldn't agree with Obamunism

uh it is unconstitutional because it violates the tenth amendment. of course FDR pretty well created a jurisprudential climate where the tenth amendment no longer matters but if the tenth was interpreted properly the Obamination known as the health care bill is a violation

Read the healthcare bill. Are you telling me there is no mandate to purchase insurance? It really is embarrassing arguing with you.

You seriously have not seen the states filing suit against the government? Where have you been?

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Thats the 10th amendment. Forcing people to buy health insurance, a private product is a direct violation of that amendment.

Messiah? Obamunism? No wonder the far-right isn't taken seriously and tossed away like garbage.

Yes, I have, but it doesn't mean they are right. Just because you take something to trial doesn't mean you will win. Once again, please quote what it is that is unconstitutional in the healthcare bill.

So filing a suit is automatic evidence that the government is wrong?

the real question is what are the whiners going to do when it is ruled the health care bill is constitutional?

You are the one claiming it is unconstitutional but you have still failed to quote exactly what is unconstitutional. That's like me saying Bush should have been impeached but not saying why.
