"We're on the brink"????

You're reading too many posts on too many tea-party websites.

No, we're not "on the brink." The U.S. is not about to collapse. We're not headed toward an armed insurrection. We're not headed toward another dark ages.

Take a couple of sedatives, get a good night's rest, and relax. Everything will be OK. I promise.

How much are they spending just to fix the websites, anyone know? I bet it's ridiculous compared to how any corporation would spend to fix similar problems.

Between all of Obama's lies which are now being covered, even in the mainstream media, comedians ripping on him and the website problems, we've just touched the tip of the ice berg. 500,000 people in CA have lost their heath care. Most of middle America hasn't seen their true costs of the ACA yet. When the costs, much higher costs for many, start to hit the household budgets, you can expect a revolt. I don't think people are just going to lay down and take it and not rebel against the new Tax. Then you have dumbfuck Harry Reid saying that most Americans want tax increases. The colossal load of shit just keeps being sold.
These are the facts:
The majority don't want Obamacare.
The majority don't approve of the job Obama is doing.
An overwhelming majority don't approve of the job congress is doing.
The 35% that think Obamacare's good think that way because they won't pay for it.
The costs are going to be on the backs of the healthiest working class segment.

The super rich will have their own plans or be self insured. Why is it that some people can't see or won't admit how horrible this is going to be? I really think that when Obamacare tanks the economy, when the results are in, the law will be repealed. America cannot afford to succumb to socialism. It will be our ruination. But, it's good for you, some Liberals will say. Whatever you say, Jim Jones.

Nixon
I am not a crook.
Clinton
I did not have sex with that woman.
Bush
Read my lips
Obama
I will have the most transparent administration.
I am not after your guns.
It's not my red line it is the worlds red line.
I am not spying on American citizens.
The IRS is not targeting anyone.
It was about a movie.
If I had a son.
You didn't build that.
The cops acted stupidly.
ObamaCare will be good for America.
You can keep your family doctor.
You can keep your current healthcare plan.

Nixon and Clinton were choir boys compared to Obama. How come they got impeached and Obama hasn't? It's because he's black and the cry of racism would resonate throughout the country, even though what he has done has nothing to do with his color, but his actions. Nobody will touch his crimes with a ten foot pole, but don't think they don't want to. So the walking on eggshells will continue for the next 3 years. Evil will continue to prevail in the name of political correctness. Is anyone else but me sick of it?

I've yet to read a rational explanation of why Obamacare will work, only the blind faith assumption that it simply will work. And what even defines "work" anyways? If it makes insurance more affordable to tens of millions, while making it less affordable to hundreds of millions, is that really something worth celebrating? I mean it doesn't exactly take an MBA to figure out what happens when you foist millions of unprofitable customers onto a private industry. Those costs are going to be passed on to someone.

It must be horrible for you to live your life in a state of constant fear.

Un-be-fucking-lievable. You're really not seeing the corruption, negligence, and blatant fraud in all of this, are you? It defies any logical explanation. :eek:

When entitlement spending, as a percentage of the GDP, increases, how will the economy be sustained? You can start talking about math with liberals / progressives and when you start asking them how we are gonna pay for it all, they will normally say borrow and print more money. Try asking them the question of how this model can survive and you'll normally get a response, such as duh - I don't really care, as long as I get mines. So, I question, is the leftstream media teaching this or are they being indoctrinated in school? Seems to be a whole new crop of young people who think this way and it's only getting worse.

Out of curiosity, I went to check the website just a few minutes ago and this is what I had when I clicked on my state (could not go any further):

I will refer to this thread over and over and over again whenever the chicken littles come out from their hen houses and start pointing to the sky every time they get their marching orders from FOX and Limbaugh to hit the panic button. And since FOX and Limbaugh have been actually STOMPING on the panic button ever since Obama got elected, I guess this thread will get a lot of milage.:D

You drank it too! Get a clue......all points that don't agree with your view don't come from Fox and Limbaugh. Some of us are capable if independent critical thinking.

Create them? Hardly. Blow some of them out of proportion? Sure.

This says differently:

We should all be outraged the govt spent 630 million tax dollars on a website that doesn't work very well.

a billion here a billion there. just print more.
the blind allegiance the die hard democrats obama lovers have is down right scary.

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/10/25/fox-news-only-overestimated-healthcaregov-cost/196603

Note that Fox News knew CGI Federal hadn't been paid anywhere near that much two weeks earlier:

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/10/11/just-how-much-does-healthcaregov-cost/

Yet here we have drones parroting "$630 million," and, "a billion."
All it takes is for the conservative media sphere to repeat the same lie for their listeners to have no doubt in their minds that it's true.

Yes, I will agree with you in general, but I'm going to exclude you from that group until you admit that you watch MSNBC just as much as you watch FOX. ;)

Are you guys talking about a website that needs to be fixed or the collapse of Western civilization?
