I think Stauber drove in the nail with number 4. <br>
<br>
Mitt Zombie jumped on this immediately and asked for donations ($10) to
his campaign...<br>

<blockquote>Today, the
Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. But regardless of what the Court said
about the constitutionality of the law, Obamacare is bad medicine, it
is bad
policy, and when I’m President, the bad news of Obamacare will be
over...<br>
<br>
...On Day One, I will work to repeal Obamacare to stop the government’s
takeover of our health care and intrusion in
our lives. I will push for real reform to our health care system that
focuses on helping patients and protecting taxpayers.<br>
<br>
We
cannot
afford Barack Obama’s on-the-job learning, Big Government proposals,
and irresponsible spending. Our basic liberties are at stake — and I
will fight to restore our freedoms, renew the respect for our
Constitution, and halt the government takeover of health care.<br>
<br>
This November
it’s all on the line. The stakes couldn’t be higher.<br>

As if Romney wants to change it for the better and as if it is in his
power to do so.<br>
<br>
No one should believe Mittens but he definitely gets a big boost from
this dreaded scotching of the system.<br>

<div>Roberts & Dems Deliver a Grand Slam for the Right</div>

<b>Obamacare Wins, We Lose</b>
<div>by JOHN STAUBER</div>

<p align="">It was a brilliant move by far Right (but oh so likable)
Chief Justice Roberts to side with the Dem-appointed Justices and
uphold ObamaCare. After all, this is a massive victory for corporate
power, forcing citizens to buy an expensive insurance product that
won’t serve our needs very well but will profit industry, in lieu of
receiving real health care.</p>
<p align="">Obamacare and its corporate mandate were born on the
Right (as in Heritage Foundation) as a way to destroy the political
prospects of any single payer system that would cover all Americans
with a tax-funded system of guaranteed medical care. This is the way
all other industrial societies protect the right to health care, by
taking it out of the hands of the giant insurance industry. The right
to health care is like the right to not be enslaved – there are no
half measures, and the insurance industry is the slave master.</p>
<p align="">Roberts may have brilliantly scored a “4-fer” victory:</p>
<p align="">1.) He now has an interesting historic legacy.</p>
<p align="">2.) He and his Dem-appointed colleagues have given huge
new powers to corporations, and further reduced the rights of citizens.</p>
<p align="">3.) Any real reform — call it single payer, or medicare
for all — is doomed in bipartisan fashion. The “pragmatists” who are
for Obamacare are duped if they think it is going to be expanded to
single payer. From this point on, it will only be picked over and
further reinvented to empower the insurance and drug industries.</p>
<p align="">4.) Roberts siding with Dems has probably bounced Obama
right out of office. The public overwhelmingly hates Obamacare, and
this pours gas on the electoral fire.</p>
<p align="">No wonder Roberts delivered the goods! What a great
Right Wing Justice he is.</p>
