Republican Outrage

I was surrounded by republicans today at work when the High Court handed down the decision on the Affordable Care Act, I had on my 2012 keep the change Obama shirt, and for a minute I didn't think I was going to be able to get out of there. You talk about tension, you could have cut the air with a knife.

The Congressional welcoming committee that was posted at the steps of the court house had this lost dog look on their faces when the ruling was made public to the press, no big right wing victory speech today, and that alone was worth the stares and glares I received at work.
Now the republican leaders in Congress are going to do their best to demonize the law and to try and twist the true meaning of the law with falsehoods and political spin.
John Boehner look sober, I thought he was going to start crying and sobbing. Democrats, Liberals and Independents all need to take the high ground on this issue, getting out the vote has never been so important in an election as it is with the one coming up this November, the republicans are going to hold a vote in July to repeal the health care bill but we all know Senator Harry Reid won't allow that rag on the floor of the senate, the house is wasting more time on issues that are not going to create a single job.
So, now that the most important legal issue of our life time has come and gone, can we start passing bills that will get the populations back to work rather then the three ring circus acts that have been classified as congressional business.
