What's the impact of Obamacare for you (and your family)? Assuming it doesn't get defunded or delayed, of course...

I live in a state that's embracing Obamacare and it looks like I'm set for cheaper and/or better healthcare.

Anyway you should wait until he actually praises the Dems for something.  :P

Ah, but that's not the Languish Way.  Dems aren't overtly praised so much-- the GOP just gets demonized no matter what it does.
It didn't used to be this way.  The GOP used to be riding high around these parts.  Sure, the social conservatism often rubbed a lot of people here the wrong way, but they were given a fair bit of respect back in the early and mid 2000s.  But the crash did some damage and their disgraceful behavior since Obama was elected has damaged the brand.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yeah, this forum would be a good case study of where the Republicans lost ground.  They picked up Garbon but lost a lot of others.

I like to think that the NSDAP gained posters, not that the GOP lost them. :)

:huh:  I don't think stock car racing gained that many posters from here.

Heh, the Dems essentially out GOPed the GOP in the 1990's.  The GOP has chosen to be a right wing party and the dems have chosen to be a centrist party.  In fact, in their efforts to demonize and distance themselves from the Democrats the Republicans force themselves further and further right.  Now while this may suit you, you will have to understand that as you push further and further right you are going to lose more and more support from the center.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Outside of the Conservative echo chamber, most Dems aren't actually socialists conspiring to bring down the country.  The rest are pretty much one guy in South Carolina who wants to start a nuclear war.

One that's not decisively on the right or left.
