Crap.Clinton, McCain emerge as comeback winners in New Hampshire primary
WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Clinton pulled off an unexpected narrow victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday, dramatically rescuing her bid for the White House in a tense battle with Barack Obama.
Clinton, who's fighting to become the first woman in the Oval Office, mounted a surprisingly strong showing after bracing for a second defeat following her devastating third-place showing in Iowa.

While Obama, vying to make history as the first black U.S. president, scored big among independents and voters between 18 and 24, Clinton attracted lower-income voters and seniors and did best among voters citing the economy as their top concern.
But a big factor for Clinton was women voters, who had gone over to Obama in large numbers in Iowa. Nearly half in New Hampshire were once again supporting her, while Obama got only a third.

I loved that line! Nobody that voted on this bill knew what was in it. They had staffers read it and 'summarize' the parts they read! Even the people who wrote it didn't know what was in the parts they didn't write.
The bill was passed in the house without a single republican vote and, I think, 37 democrats also voted against it. It passed 219-212 and Obama says it was passed "by a large margin" by a democratically elected congress. The vote to repeal Obamacare passed with 245 votes. More congressmen voted to repeal it than voted to pass it in the first place!
But that doesn't matter to Obama.
And neither does the Constitution!

Problem is that it appears as if Romney will be the Republican nominee in which case the choice, as I see it, is between Mitt Obama or Barack Romney. I see very little, if any, difference between the two aside from the fact that Romney does actually have a business background.
I downloaded it on PDF when it became available online and i think it was close to a thousand pages. I remember thinking I need a team of lawyers to figure this out !!! there have been revisions made to it since. including some big time major pork spending. but that's SOP on any bill passed
since im not gonna get re elected you Russians are on your own

I have a simple political philosophy: Leave Me Alone! I don't want your welfare. I don't want your healthcare. I don't want your help in any way. I am firmly entrenched in the lower middle class. I am not rich and live pretty much paycheck to paycheck. Just because I can't afford the things that my neighbors have, doesn't mean I want the government to take from them to give to me. Just protect me from foreign invaders and after that, let me sink or swim. It's simple: LMA!
