Don't you love Justice John Roberts almost as much as Justice David Souter?

If they ever stopped to think, people wouldn't be Republicans. Republicans who think Obamacare is scary should be thanking Roberts, but their party leads them by fear and smear, so most Republicans won’t stop to figure this out. Why do you think John Roberts ruled as he did? It was a clever, calculated move.

1) Had Roberts ruled in favor of the Republicans, it would have energized the Democrats right before an election. Instead, his ruling energized the Republicans.

2) By clearly denoting the fine as a “tax” instead of a commerce clause matter from the bench, Roberts opened an avenue for the Republicans to be able to overturn it. Only a simple majority is needed in Congress to change taxes. Revenue bills cannot be filibustered.

Remember, Republicans are the pawns of Wall Street, so how do the insurance companies feel about Obamacare? They don’t mind the pre-existing thing and caps deal and all the other little provisions, as long as they get 30 million new customers’ premiums to offset the losses. What they don’t like is that in four years the states can kick them out and replace them with single payer. That will be the death of their industry and they know it.

Point is, Obamacare will cut insurance costs (just as it’s done in Massachusetts) and save the lives of millions of Americans, but those on the right haven’t figured that out either. They’re always voting against their own best interests.

So, this dog don't bark that way. But hey, whatever makes you happy.

Not really.
