MikeWaters is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Looks like Obama-care will pass

I say this because we are not hearing a credible argument against it from its opponents. At least none of it is trickling through either the mainstream or alternative media sources.

Is the best the GOP can come up with is "it will cut your medicare benefits"? As if this a conservative position--to not cut medicare benefits?

Additionally, the GOP has not been able to come up with an alternative plan that has captured any interest.

You can only say "no, no, no, no" for so long before people ask if you have anything else to say.

The only folks who can stop it now are the insurance companies.

If that's all you're hearing, then you're not paying attention.
