John Roberts - A Liberal Hero?

          So NOW Chief Justice John Roberts is a hero to liberals everywhere,
     because, while he found the mandate in Obamacare to be unconstitutional
     under the commerce clause, he found it constitutional as a tax.

          Of course if he'd decided the other way they would still consider him
     to be a "partisan hack."

          According to the liberal media, Roberts "saved the institution" by
     joining the four liberals on the court who (of course) agreed with the
     chief justice.

          Roberts, the liberal media tell us, has given the people confidence in
     the Court again by not making a "partisan" decision, but try to imagine
     what the media would say if two of the liberals had decided against the
     mandate and the decision had gone against Obama. 

          I know this would never happen, but just play along.  Would they have
     been applauded for their lack of partisanship?  Of course not!  They would
     be viewed as villains because they dared to go against Obama, which is
     unthinkable in Liberalville.  No one is allowed to stray from the liberal
     reservation.


                                                       **********


          Apparently, liberals believe that anyone who opposes Obamacare is
     opposed to "health care" period, as if there are no better and cheaper
     alternatives.  It's Obamacare or nothing, even though the polls show
     there are many more people who oppose it than support it.  Maybe they
     don't support it because it raises the debt and deficit at a time when we
     simply can't afford such a program, and they don't want their taxes raised,
     which is now going to happen. 
     Doctors and the "all important" Independents also oppose it by a large margin.

          I think this decision may light a fire under the opponents of Obamacare.
     Romney raised over $4 million yesterday after the decision was announced.
     He has said he will do all he can to repeal the law if he is elected president.

          Obama may have won the battle over Obamacare, but he may have lost
     the war -- the election!!

          We'll see in November.
