U.S. Constitution Title: Justice Roberts says American voters should be more aware of whom they vote for If You Vote for Congressmen Who Support Obamacare, You’re Voting for Obamacare by Jedidiah Noble • November 13, 2013 Many people were angry with Justice Roberts when he declared Obamacare constitutional and I was one of them. He furthered angered the right with these quotes: “We do not consider whether the Act embodies sound policies. That judgment is entrusted to the Nation’s elected leaders.” “Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” Now I have to say that he was right. If we want to change the law, we have to vote the Obamacare politicians out of office. We cannot rely on the Supreme Court of the United States, it is not their job. We, the American people, voted for Obamacare, not once, but repeatedly by electing and re-electing politicians who support Obamacare. We did it here on Long Island when we re-elected congressmen Tim Bishop, Steve Israel, and Carolyn McCarthy, among others. Virginia did it when they recently elected Governor-elect McAuliffe. In fact, McAuliffe ran on Medicaid expansion and Obamacare. He took the election as a referendum for both. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said Democrats will be able to run on Obamacare in 2014. Will they? We should be most mindful of the 12 Senators who voted for Obamacare, any one of them could have stopped the law which passed with 60 votes. We voted for them as Justice Roberts indicated. Consider the words of Nancy Pelosi, “…but we have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it, away from the fog of the controversy”: Despite this, we voted for Obamacare by electing these politicians who did not read the bill and did not know what was in the bill. Will we do it again? The following are the names of the Senators who cast decisive votes for Obamacare. If you vote for them again, you are voting for Obamacare. There is no other way to look at it. If you don’t want Obamacare, you cannot vote for these Senators: Mark Begich, Alaska; Dick Durbin, Illinois; Al Franken, Minnesota; Kay Hagan, North Carolina; Mary Landrieu, Louisiana; Jeff Merkley, Oregon; Mark Pryor, Arkansas; Jack Reed, Rhode Island; Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire; Mark Udall, Colorado; Tom Udall, New Mexico; Mark Warner, Virginia. These senators are now scrambling for cover and looking for ways to make it appear as if they didn’t support what they wholeheartedly supported – The Affordable Care Act. They were given multiple opportunities by the House to adjust the bill in the past three years and they refused. Mary Landrieu is putting through a bill now that will supposedly allow people to keep their present coverage as President Obama promised. It is co-sponsored by Obamacare supporter, Dianne Feinstein, whose state now has 1 million people losing their insurance. Mary Landrieu has been an ardent supporter of Obamacare from day one. She flew on Air Force One with Mr. Obama two weeks ago but made certain she was not photographed with him. Are you going to fall for their ploys? These people do not have our best interests at heart. They wanted to support Mr. Obama, not us. They do not deserve to be our representatives. Make no mistake, a vote for them is a vote for Obamacare. If you vote for them again, you will get what you deserve and Justice Roberts would agree. Let’s not forget the representatives in the House who voted for Obamacare? Click here to find out if your congressmen was among them. As an aside, healthcare.gov won’t be ready by December 1st as promised by Mr. Obama. Jay Carney said it will be ready for a lot of people. They plan to put peoples’ personal and financial information at risk on a site that is somewhat working.
Poster Comment: Sorry I just had to change the title to get the point across.

Does anybody else remember him saying this? I remember being excoriated for repeating it when he first said it, because people were so pissed at him for not bailing their dumb asses out.
