2. This might just be what it takes to get Dem governors.

Just a blind thought, without any thought for who the voting population are in the state. But even Republicans wouldn't mind good health care at reduced cost.

So Jindal and Walker are "NOT" going to implement the health care reform, so do they actually think this is going to please all those who are benefiting, or will benefit from the reform in the future? Now I may be wrong, but I would think that doing this in any state, refusing to implement the reform that will "HELP" those in need just might rally the voters who might not have gotten out to vote who like this reform. While I am also sure that being an ass will make him look good to the wacko right wing base, I just don't see the benefit of doing this at all!

I am willing to bet that this will backfire on these morons big time, and I am willing to bet that neither Jindal or Walker are going to be the VP for Romeny!

9. Here's hoping he keeps calling it Obamneycare.

On a conference call this morning, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) got a little tongue-tied during his defense of Romney and a repeal of the law.

“There's only one candidate, Gov. Romney, who's committed that he will repeal the Obamney -- the Obamacare tax increase,” Jindal said. “He will repeal Obamacare as soon as he's elected.”

Though Jindal quickly correct himself, the damage was done. Just an hour later, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) had already seized on the comments to show the similarities between the two laws.

over the loss of their loved one for an untreated illness.

You know that's what it will take for him, Rick Perry, that Nebraska governor, Walker, Scott and the rest to man up and do what's right for their citizens. Yes, we could run and win elections off their cruelty but this about a moral imperative (and in violation of that, legal recourse).
