"Obamacare is wrong for Americans. It will destroy our health care system," added Paul, who frequently rails about government overreach on the Senate floor.

Your system needs to be destroyed.

Ok, calm down there, oddball.

I can only speak from state experience but yeah in 2010 they got Joe Miller nominated for Senate over Murkowski, and then lost to her as a write in.
They just took over leadership of the state GOP  and moderate republicans are now worried that Dems will have chance to take both state houses in fall if Tea Party candidates get the GOP nom.

You know Alaska better than I do, and yeah the Murkowski thing backfired (though the "damage" was just that the same moderate Republican got back in-- not the end of the world).  But elsewhere the Tea Party was generally quite successful in 2010. 

Now whether it will have quite as much impact in 2012 (or will even survive after 2012) is up for debate-- I'm just saying you guys would be wise not to discount them just yet.

Rand Paul: 'Obamacare' is still unconstitutional
Sen. Rand Paul doesn't think the Supreme Court gets the last word on what's constitutional.

The Kentucky Republican belittled the high court's health care decision as the flawed opinion of just a "couple people." 

"Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional," the freshman lawmaker said in a statement. "While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right."

"Obamacare is wrong for Americans. It will destroy our health care system," added Paul, who frequently rails about government overreach on the Senate floor. "This now means we fight every hour, every day until November to elect a new President and a new Senate to repeal Obamacare."

I wonder if he'll move for a Fetal Personhood vote today.
He and his supporters have been denying the authority of the Supreme Court for a good long while now, why should this change anything?

Detaxers, anti-abortionists, gun nuts and assorted natural persons and fraudsters have been criticizing the court for decades.

I'd watch who buys truck loads of fertilizer and diesel fuel for a while.
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

Obamacare is a stupid term anyway. I cringe every time someone who I think of as intelligent uses it. He didn't invent health care coverage.

To the contrary the essence of ACA was thought up by conservative leaning think tanks and then first implemented in Mass by Romney.
One great success of conservatives in this whole legal challenge was to get the left to rally around a pretty lousy and deficient reform and thus to move the entire debate on health care to the right.  This opinion not only doesn't undo that propaganda victory, it cements it.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Lol

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Equating Barack Obama with Harry Truman is like equating Rutherford Hayes with Teddy Roosevelt.

It's equating CNN with the Chicago Tribune, not Truman with Obama.
