62. I REALLY wish people would stop calling healthcare reform "Obamacare"; you are repeating a GOP meme.

Edited on Fri Oct-22-10 04:06 AM by demodonkey

It's like "pro life" another GOP buzzword. Pro life subtly implies that if you support a woman's right to choose you are somehow against life. I always use the term "anti choice" or at least "anti abortion" not "pro life."

Everyone does not like the reform we got, but if people think that playing into Republican hands by calling it "Obamacare" (usually adding a sneer, per the GOP but for other reasons?) is somehow going to get us Single Payer, THINK AGAIN.
