If the Supreme Court's hard right 5 man wrecking crew demolishes health care...

Then the Supreme Court justices should pay for their own health care too. A lot of private sector retirees have lost their health care due to the toady legal system that has allowed corporations to fail to honor their promises to employees or retirees. Why should government retirees be guaranteed health care for life, if corporations can screw the people who worked a lifetime and were promised health care for life? Why should a Supreme Court Justice be covered for life, if nobody else can count on the benefits they were promised all those years? You paid into Medicare too...It should be there for you when you need it...that was the government's promise to you and me!

Responsible people shouldn't play politics with other people's health care.

vote for Cheap Justice John Roberts. The SCOTUS was headed for strike three and the filthy five knew it. The "Decision" in 2000 in Bush vs Gore, the corporate takeover of our electoral system, in Citizens United vs. FEC and the Affordable Care Act. "Foul Ball" the Royal Repubs are bawling on every channel. "We wuz robbed," Sobbed Boner and Mitch! "It's just a Game," cried li'l Johnny Roberts, "We'll screw them next time." Put it right there in the Mitt...he was for Affordable Health Care, before he was against it. I think it will be a safe bet, that Brother Willard will do more flip flops, than you will see if you watch every second of the Summer Olympics.

Mister Obama...You're the Man! No more soft balls thrown to the teabaggers and their pet pimps in Washington...PLEASE!(that includes Joe Lieberman)
