Because Obamacare was not vetoed
OK
rightwinger
and WHY did Obama let that pass, which discriminated by creed and imposed overreaching mandates,
and THIS governor LISTENED to the objections and said "not good enough"
Why would you CELEBRATE Obama "not listening to half of Congress, and
half the nation" protesting the ACA as it was written? and SIGNING IT ANYWAY!
You are happy that was forced on people when it was clearly objected to as flawed,
but object to this state law being forced on people instead of fixing the flaws first? Why?
Why the double standard???
Obamacare was overwhelmingly passed by 60% of Congress and declared valid by the Supreme Court
It was historic legislation providing needed coverage to millions of Americans
Why would Obama even consider a veto?
If he respected Constitutional principles before partisan agenda and beliefs.
And the Fourteenth Amendment and Civil Rights "equal protection of the law"
from "discrimination by Creed" and by the Code of Ethics for Govt Service
about not evading laws but exposing corruption wherever discovered, and not
putting party or conflicts of interest before Govt duty to uphold principles.
Just because it is the MEDIA AND PARTISAN CULTURE
to put political agenda above following Constitutional laws
does not make it right or make it Constitutional.
rightwinger what is the difference between the objections of the people
on THIS level -- expressing VERY clearly that this bill went too far and didn't protect people from discrimination --
and the objections of the people that Congress, the President and Supreme Court DIDN'T account for.
Are you REALLY basing your decisions of right and wrong on what is PASSED through govt?
Are you telling me that GOVT decides what beliefs are protected or not?
Shouldn't it be the PEOPLE who automatically have beliefs protected
and don't require GOVT to endorse them first? Isn't that "violating separation of church and state"
to depend on GOVT to establish your RELIGION or YOUR BELIEFS?
Can't you see this whole scenario is messed up.
It's ironic that when the Conservatives are petitioned to respect the BELIEFS of people,
they DO redress those grievances and seek to revise the laws to reflect CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.
but OBAMA and the Democrats in Congress ****REFUSED**** to revise the ACA mandates
when these were protested.
Why the double standard? Why do the Conservatives listen to the objections and try to resolve the issue.
But the DEMOCRATS DON'T include the opposition?
And WHY are you CELEBRATING and JUSTIFYING that???
You expect Conservatives to put up with imposing on THEIR beliefs,
but when the shoe is on the other foot, you expect Conservatives to
ACCOMMODATE the opposing beliefs. When Democrats wouldn't do the same?
Why is being onesided justified to you?
So you are okay when Govt imposed YOUR bias in YOUR favor,
but not okay if the Govt imposes a law AGAINST your beliefs.
rightwinger are you telling me that you do not treat beliefs equally?
That only yours count, and Govt is only justified if Govt imposes YOUR beliefs.
And is wrong if Govt imposes AGAINST YOUR beliefs.
And these same standards DO NOT COUNT for people of other political beliefs, only yours?
Really?
