You'd think dumb FUX NEWS fans would stop giving ridiculous predictions after what just happened...

But then again, that's dumb FUX for you...

Yeah right. Regardless of Rubio's qualifications, until the Republicans to the far right allow a candidate to be himself and not the socially conservative candidate they demand, it won't matter who runs. Just because Rubio will have some appeal to Latinos won't make a difference if the party continues to talk about overturning RvWade, continues to ignore immigration reform and attacks alternative lifestyles.

when did Rubio's family leave Cuba again?

Rubio is another one of those "family values" fruitcakes. He won't win. Even Bill O'Reilly said last night that it's time to move past trying to control other people's moral decisions. It's why the Republicans keep losing elections at the state and national level.

It doesn't matter who the Rethuglicans run for president in their present state of gloom and doom,the sky is falling.It will be a very long time before you see a Rethuglican President. After having your a$$ handed to you this election you would think you would learn something but you won't. The best man doesn't always win but in this election he sure did. Now continue with your whinning and crying and stomping your feet.

Libby...I understand there are many labor classes that have been forced into lower hours for all sorts of reasons. My son managed various chains, both large and regional before he had enough of the crazy hours. The management side, assistant managers, etc. all had insurance. Some of the staff wanted part time because many are in school or work part time due to childcare,. There are other industries that we can expect to start this game to get out of providing healthcare. My point was only to suggest there are unintended consequences of the very large and elaborate law. And that there is still work to do to figure out how to get it done.

There are also industries who really try to do as much for part timers as possible. At my last job before retiring, everyone who worked 24 hours had insurance. We were self insured.

I have some Canadian friends who recently moved here. They think our system is better in some ways. Particularly in the length of time to see a doctor.

Although you were not rude, another writer concluded his knowledge is so superior. He missed my whole point and just preferred to attack. Another example of why we cannot come together and solve problems.

Oh pul-eese--enuff with the fear talking points. They were worn out years ago. Scare tactics won't work any longer.

Stop the predictions dumb FUX NEWS nation, you are wrong 100% of the time!

That's all it ever is...scare tactics. Where's your solution? What do you want? How can we work together to improve everyone's situation? What specifically are you proposing?

NOPE, its YOUR country now, those of us that fought our asses off to stop this trainwreck DO NOT give a damn anymore. All Hail OBAMA, the showers are nice come on in, KARMA is a bitch, I want to see this country on its knees in regret for being an IDIOCRACY!

You wouldn't know Socialism if it walked up to you and introduced itself. Turn off Fox News, pick up a book and learn something.

Mr. Clarkson,

You didn't try to save anyone from anything. Your party advanced extremist views that entailed fomenting hatred for anyone not like you, whether Hispanic, female, or Asian. You and your kind stood by as your party engaged in infantile name-calling of Obama (Socialist, Communist, foreigner, the reincarnation of the Devil or Adolf Hitler) unlike any other in history, something your party wouldn't have done if he looked like Romney. Your party conned you into believing that 47% or 48% of non-federal-income-tax-paying of our population are lazy freeloaders who refuse to work or seek work when, in fact, 91% of all federal entitlements are paid to retired people over the age of 65 years old, those too disabled to work, or children in families whose parents work at least 1000 hours but don't make enough income to meet the federal guidelines for poverty, while the remaining 9% is largely paid to veterans' programs.

You've convinced yourselves that "trickle down" or "romancing job creators," or reduced taxes for investors produces jobs when the Bush tax cuts did no such thing during Bush's time or Obama's. You remain oblivious year after year of the fact that income is trickling up, not down, as the income of the top 1% increased between 1979 and 2007 by 275% while the average worker's income barely kept pace with inflation, and workers have been forced to bear a far greater share of their retirement and health insurance benefits. You're completely oblivious to the fact that 85% of all annual income in the United States goes to the top 20% of the income ladder. Republicans tried to curry favor with Catholic bishops who whined about federal healthcare laws governing healthcare options for female workers on the ground that requiring contraceptives violates Catholics' religious freedom, when it was the bishops themselves who were violating the religious beliefs and personal healthcare prerogatives of their female workers by insisting that all female workers of all faiths in hospitals that serve the public at large to subscribe to the bishops' religious principles, thereby breaching the bounds of that which is Caesar's (within the public, not religious purview. Every state has divorce laws that violate Catholic precepts, but that doesn't mean the Catholic Church can insist that those divorce laws are a blasphemy on church doctrine. Your kind dismisses global warming as an anti-capitalist conspiracy, preferring to listen to scientists paid by Big Oil and Big Coal to disagree with the vast majority of qualified scientists who believe global warming is a grave threat to mankind. You believe without any textual support whatsoever that Obamacare has provisions for "death panels." Your party ran an utterly deceitful campaign that featured a shallow, unprincipled man as your candidate, a man who promised to deal with job outsourcers but himself had sent thousands of jobs overseas. Your candidate, despite a $1B budget, never figured out that the Presidency is won in the electoral college and nowhere else, a fact that led to Romney losing 9 out of 11 swing states, thereby guaranteeing his loss in an electoral college landslide.

Stop calling people and groups you don't like nasty names. Stop being petulant children. Stop listening to Faux News, Rush Limbaugh, and Grover Norquist and start reading. Start with a book written by Naomi Klein called "The Shock Doctrine." You'll learn about the economic system Republicans have been pushing on America since Ronald Reagan's time, economic policies that have, in practice, ruined America's widespread prosperity and only produced income inequality. It's reviled abroad as neoliberalism; it's called "laissez faire capitalism" or "austere capitalism" and it features hatred for government as the enemy of capitalism and preaches deregulation and privatization of government. It was conceived first by an Austrian economist named Friedrich Hayek and was further developed by an economist named Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago School of Economics. It wiped out the middle class in Chile after the coup d'etat in 1973 under the dictator Agosto Pinochet, it creamed the middle class in Poland during Lech Walesa's time, and it seriously undermined the middle class in post-Glasnost Russia. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which makes subscription to Friedman's ideas a condition for lending to developing nations. It's not only today's economic orthodoxy, but it's the last 40 years' economic tyranny. Deregulation of banks, mortgage companies, and investment firms during Bush's time led directly to the financial catastrophe that befell the 2007-08 worldwide financial collapse. And, if fully implemented here, as Romney would have done, it would have further destroyed the middle class here.

No, Mr. Clarkson, we saved you from the adverse consequences of your party's dogmatic stupidity.
You should feel grateful, but of course, your dogmatism and authoritarianism don't permit you to understand anything that conflicts with your propaganda-filled head.

if bohner , and his tea party congress doesn't give up their quest to make obama a '' one term '' president , i believe even the koch brothers are going to become democrats. nothing will make these conservatives look more like sore losers then bohner crying over his glass of '' victory champaign '' lol !!!

Well if the President has always been willing to compromise, he should have MADE Harry Reid quit refusing to debate any Republican bills brought to the Senate. Facts are facts.

Go to school and learn something different whymewhyus!!!!!!!!

NOPE, its YOUR country now, those of us that fought our asses off to stop this trainwreck DO NOT give a damn anymore. All Hail OBAMA, the showers are nice come on in, KARMA is a bitch, I want to see this country on its knees in regret for being an IDIOCRACY!

north- good then, get out of OUR country

It's OUR country now? Great news! Please leave immediately, we don't have any room for sore losers who act like 3 year olds when they don't get their way. The fact that you would even wish for the country to fail shows what kind of American you are...

Yeah Forker, why don't you leave? In fact, look around a bit and I'm sure you can find an immigrant who would happy to take over your job. You know, one of those people who left wherever they were because they see the USA as a far better choice than where they came from. Go visit your offshore money and stay there....

Do watch out for the occasional revolution though (hint: if there's armed men in the streets, things might be a bit shakey... LOL).

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure that you're the one that doesn't get it. Oh, by the way, I loved the line about "co-workers and loved ones suffering and dying from lack of medical care"...let me guess, you're one of the people who ran around screaming about the "death panels" when the ACA was first introduced. Check the tin foil in your hat, I think you've sprung a leak.

LMFAO

and that's AT you, not With you.

I am 100% behind universal healthcare. Not only is it the right thing to do, it is in fact vital for the future of our Great Nation.

"Death Panels" are a crock of @!$%# whose reality only happens under REPUBLICAN governments hell-bent on cutting spending and "entitlements".

45,000 people die in america every year because they cannot afford the medical treatments that would save their lives...so don't @!$%#ing tell me about "death panels".

But the reality stands; those who want universal healthcare will, and are, in the process of making the current system so expensive and untenable that citizens will demand a government-controlled single-payer system.

Which is exactly what we need.

You ignoramous.

I think your a bit mixed up jerry and got your people switched. Romney would have been the death of the country.

Just completed my health insurance enrollment.. And found yes, FSA limited to 2,500... Cost went up...

NOPE, its YOUR country now, those of us that fought our asses off to stop this trainwreck DO NOT give a damn anymore. All Hail OBAMA, the showers are nice come on in, KARMA is a bitch, I want to see this country on its knees in regret for being an IDIOCRACY!

Northforker,

It's our country still, you dull-witted, divisive moron. Your party advanced an extremist agency that entailed fomenting hatred for anyone not like you, whether Hispanic, female, or Asian.

Karma was Romney sent packing fool...

I actually agree with that. Boehner should capitulate completely on everything. Give these liberal idiots the noose, and let them hang themselves. We all know this is unsustainable. We all know Obamacare is an impending disaster from several different perspectives.

Never lose faith... anything these idiots did can be undone. But the Nanny State needs to implode first.

The democratic party... the "Party of Moochers".

YEP, its THEIR country now, those of us that fought our asses off to stop this trainwreck DO NOT give a damn anymore. All Hail OBAMA, the showers are nice come on in, KARMA is a bitch, I want to see this country on its knees in regret for being an IDIOCRACY!

Northporker, how many of these copy/paste diatribes do you have stored up?

Let's see, so far because of health care reform, my wife has been able to keep maternity on her policy, both of us have prescription drug plans, and we have seen less of a rise in our premiums than we have in other years. I fail to see the problem here.

And the democrats act any better? I think not.
