Actually, the SCOTUS is about 4 liberal - 4 conservative - 1 independent
They will kill ObamaCare this month.
Donald Verrilli was laughed out of court.
CNN called it a train wreck.
--------
Also, it's sort of a non-story but i was watching MSNBC in the morning yesterday.
They said the Supreme Court was moving up their ruling to Monday June 11, 2012
because Kathleen Sebelius was trying to pull a fast one and push through some
ObamaCare grants - BEFORE - the Supreme Court has a chance to kill it.
------
The story however, disappeared! I guess someone made a phone call.
-- Don't do it! It will make us look devious! --
There is no mention of it anywhere!

It would have been a lie to say he was a member...because he wasn't.
Obama was a member of the New Party.
Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:
Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party.He also joined the New Party.
www.nationalreview.com...
Obama recieved an endorsement from The New Party.
That doesn't make him a member.
Logic 101.
Baloney.
Firefighting, police , military... ALL of these things were in existence LONG before Marx ever scored his first vicarious kill.
You are saying any form of taxation is socialism?
It's funded with MY money, not just "other people's" It is compensation for goods and services rendered... otherwise known as "capitalism".
"Entitlement" these days generally denote a feeling of deserving something for nothing - no services rendered. That is "other than" capitalism...
Doesnt that last sentance say he joined the party?

No, recieving an endorsement does not mean you joined the organization.
Like the founder said in the article I linked previously...they didn't really have "members"...that was the whole idea behind the concept.

Really that's all that needs to be said.
All this deflection @ socialis et al, is just that. Deflection.

It says he signed a "Candidate Contract"...not a "Membership Contract" like some are trying to pass off.
You believe what you want...you go ahead and fall for the "evil socialist" propaganda...I honestly don't care.
But I do love that this is what Obama haters are having to reduce their attacks to...it speaks volumes as to how desperate they are.
BTW...did you know this was all already discussed in 2008??? It failed then...it will fail now.

From the OP's source.
Right there.
*bazinga*
As for Obama's membership?
"We didn’t really have members," said Rogers. They also didn't have a ballot line in Chicago. So he said the line in the party newsletter appeared to refer to the fact that the party had endorsed him.
If I was having an "oh crap" moment...I would probably just ignore the entire thread and hope it falls off the recent thread page.
But I keep bumping it with replies...I wonder why???

And here comes another thread by "concerned citizens" Please, stop this nonsense. It's getting annoying. Jst admit You hate the guy on sight, and don't pretend to be against him on purely political grounds.
You have NO inkling what "socialist " means, You still live with Your head buried firmly in the "there's a Commie under your bed" mindset of the 50's.
I an SICK of the pretentious post that only prove ONE thing to me: A large swath of people do not like his colour.....
Threads like these are insulting, and a waste of space on a site that once was about the curious and the odd, but has transformed into a cess-pit of pure right-wing hatred and pathetic "tough-guy" talk about gun-law and state interference.
Let me be the stereo-typer from the other side, and state that ATS has been taken over by the most unpleasant, vile and stupid part of redneck America.
I am done here, after several years of membership I can only see one thing: There's no curing stupid and hate....
Toodles.

If I knew that something was true and damaging to Obama...I wouldn't really be up for keeping it visible.
But when such garbage like the OP is recycled from 2008...I'm more than happy to keep the discussion going to see how far Obama haters will go to attempt to twist and distort the truth.
It's also a good example of how Obama haters contradict themselves and displays their gulibility for propaganda...evident by those in this thread who are afraid of words.
