When Obama was in; Republicans thought he'd be the end of the Republic. When Trump's Presidency comes to an end in 2024 we'll all still be here and just fine.

Some of us won't be here if the Republicans ever manage to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Please. Socialism is no longer a dirty word and the Boomers are entering the expensive to continue twilight of life. It's all about the long game since Clinton for Single Payer and just another 8 year delay.

Who says socialism is no longer a dirty word?

We had one run for President?

Yes, and he lost.

But he was taken seriously.

By some people, yes. But a lot of other people thought he was the devil.

He just set you up.

How?

It's still a dirty word, just not George Carlin "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" level dirty anymore.

Eight years is a long time.

Common good remember....that wouldn't save lives. Repealing the ACA can be counted in even more than lives lost, in can be measured in lives shortened and is certainly aimed a one segment of the population.

We have very strict protocols for organ transplants and they should be followed my problem is making poor a death sentence.

Oh I'm not. Most civic minded Americans have been trying to ELIMINATE poverty for some time, Republican or Democrat , but If you are thinking about making it illegal for States to have poor people and as radical as that is I may be I'm all for it.

If you are trying to say that being poor shortens life expediency I'll agree and seeing as it says in the declaration of independence that "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" are "unalienable rights" you are probably right it is the states obligation to extend life as long as possible.

I don't think anyone would argue that driving is a human right. As far as I know, it's generally considered a privilege.

Alcohol kills thousands yearly directly or indirectly through traffic deaths. We need to ban it; unless you want people to die.

What the fuck would the GOP and cons do without false equivalencies? They'd be lost.

Pointed things kill thousands of people per year. We need to ban "getting it"; unless you want people to die.

(I don't have a deep point I'm just really into this. I can't help it I'm a liberal.

Again, we are talking about healthcare, what many believe to be a human right. It's in a completely different category from safety regulations. Over on the SawStop thread, I think you'd have a valid argument.

It won't happen, but it's still worrying that so many Republicans would do this. Would these same Republicans support delaying the next election if a Democrat was currently president?

If it's an election for Supreme Court? Demonstrably yes.

I think that would require a Constitutional Amendment.

I do believe you are correct.

Scarborough: Republicans who would favor postponing election should hide faces in 'shame'

That's not all. This cult of Personality has Republicans believing all sorts of things that are provably false.

This is flat out retarded. Even if you thought that the voter roles were tainted does it really take that much time/effort to purge the rolls and re-enroll eligible voters?

It's not about cleaning up voter rolls. It's about keeping a Republican in the White House longer.
