The only reason they opposed Obamacare is because it had funding for things like abortion, which religious conservatives oppose for religious reasons.
If it weren't for those things, the Republicans would have supported it in an instant.
So, SHENANIGANS!

I'll never understand Republican aversion to helping those in need.
Well they obviously are doing what Jesus Christ
would do, since most republicans are Christians.
Jesus would be like;
"Obama trying to help all Americans and not just billionaires again?!"
"Grab your guns Christians, we're saving EXXON first, then the Koch Bros!"edit on 29-6-2012 by sealing because: (no reason given)

So I have to be the same religion group to receive help, if I understand you correctly.
What about atheists?
So, that is how healthcare should have been solved - through charitable donations...
Sorry, I just see more churches build out of those, not many free healthcare providers...Do you know of any that works of charitable donations?

And yet most polls show that is not the case. More people are against the law, or parts of it, than fully support it in its current form.

No, I couldn't, I have absolute know knowledge of tax laws. But all it takes is a jury to find you guilty due to confirmation bias. They have and they will.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you are here today for one reason and one reason only. You are here because I do not understand the tax code. I have been charged with crimes against the government because I do not understand the tax code. Now, the prosecuting attorney may inform you that ignorance of the law is not excuse, but I am not claiming ignorance of the law, I am simply arguing that I do not understand the tax code. I could not prove one way or the other whether I was liable for the tax in question or subject to the applicable revenue laws, but you know what I can prove? I can prove that it is not just I who doesn't understand the tax code, I will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the prosecuting attorney doesn't understand the tax code!
I will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the presiding judge does not understand the tax code. I will assert without any fear of recourse or contradiction that none of those people sitting over there watching this trial unfold understand the tax code, and let's be honest here, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, not a single one of you understand the tax code.
If I don't understand the tax code, and the prosecuting attorney and the plethora of witnesses he calls don't understand the tax code, if the judge doesn't understand the tax code and if none of you understand the tax code, then how could any of you reasonably determine I am guilty of the charges brought against me? Indeed, the only reasonable verdict you could render would be to acquit.

It is you who doesn't get it. Are you seriously referring to David Horowitz of the Freedom Center? That guy is cracked. Furthermore, all the Left is not Communist so just calm down and all Communism isn't Statist. Have you ever tried reading about the Left from the Left and not some demonized, bastardized rhetoric from the Right?
I mentioned the Freedom Center in a thread I did a while back.

So what makes you think Ron Paul would be any different than obamney?
And why would you have to be a Republican to be able to vote in the primaries?

Being pro-life I am very unhappy that federal funds are being used to pay for elective abortions in this Affordable Care Act. This is totally against my religion/beliefs/values/faith. I want no part in paying for anyone to kill their unborn. It was bad enough being a bystander, being forced to contribute would make me an accomplice.
