Dang this has got to make some people chew their bottom lips.. but as for me

EDITING to ADD: My dear fellow Democrats who are running for office.. Take President Clintons advice and run on the Affordable Healthcare Act..

1. I wonder if the baggers are going to stick to their lame ass "cooking the books" lie

[Peacetrain]

2. I have no idea what goes on in their heads...

But this is going to cause them much angst.. My guess is they are working on a response on how this is TOTALLY not true as we type.. It must be so hard to have to live with the kind of negative feelings that they constantly have to espouse..

8. Yep

I just love Joe's big smile. He makes me smile too.

5. It's more like 9.5 million if you read actual news sites instead of propaganda

I'd post a link but I'm sure I'd be endlessly abused for it, thrown under a bus, called a 1000 different names, branded one of many stereotypical memes and then ignored.

"Yahoo" as a news site, LMFAO!

10. Aw shucks, Corruption Inc

Your username is too cool for us to abuse you. Now lookie here, I'm way ahead of you with just over 400 posts, and I ain't gotten blasted yet! So lemme take this one for you: 9.5 million, according to the LA Times. (Cover me, willya.)

7. I have been singing to myself for the last 10 minutes...

"Can I get a Witness" I guess somewhere out there is a button.. that says 7 million and counting.. all that money thrown into running against Obamacare.. talk about putting all your eggs in one basket.. I live in Western Iowa.. and I know exactly what you mean!!

9. Unfortunately the GOPers still want to repeal it

12. Absolutely! Get up in their faces and say "I'm DAMN PROUD of this! I'm DAMN PROUD

that what we Democrats did will let as many as ten million people FINALLY get insurance they can afford! And FINALLY go to the doctor! And FINALLY have the peace of mind that they won't go bankrupt, lose their homes, and wind up living in their cars (unless they lose those, too, and then it's the space under some freeway overpass for them) if they get sick or one of their kids gets in a car accident. I'm DAMN PROUD that people have the freedom to switch jobs, or try to break out on their own and take a risk and start a business - because they're not prisoners of what measly employer benefits they can still get in the jobs they may still have. Repeat - MAY still have. I'm DAMN PROUD of that! And republi-CONS - WHADDA YOU GOT???? What have YOU got to solve the problems and the fear and the dread that people like those folks have to live with every day? WHADDA YOU GOT????? Oh, that's right - those folks are all just lazy moochers and they should go get a job, correct? Vote DEMOCRAT. 'Cause WE'RE the ones who give a damn about you and WE'RE the ones who are gonna help you get on your feet and help you get coverage. That was OUR idea, and we're DAMN PROUD of it, and WE'RE the ones who fought tooth and nail to get this through - to HELP you, and these other folks fought it and tried to sabotage it and SCREW you, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY."

14. Proving American's respond to deadlines...just like when they file income tax forms.

I think avoiding getting crosswise with the mandate was at least as important than getting insurance.

If I were running for congress in '14, I think I'd wait a little while to see how it works for my constituents and leave open the possibility of running on making ACA even better.

15. I dont understand why there is a deadline

I dont get that.Also, even if 10 million people sign up for the ACA, what about the other 305 million people in the US ?
I am confused.

16. President Obama's speech had lots of anger towards the teabaggers and Pride

for the ACA! I loved it . I hope the dems run with it. It seems to be the plan.

BTW His speech is here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017184515
