Chachacha -

From a past posting I recall you are in the Tea Party, if I am correct. The Tea Party gets upset when they are called the tea bag party or tea *******.

You just stated that AARP supported "Obamacare". Why not have the same set of understanding for those of us who get offended at the term "Obamacare"? It is called the Affordable Care Act.

Just because it was signed into law by President Obama, it does not change the official name to Obamacare. Look at Medicare as a prime example. It was signed into law by Lyndon Johnson. Well, you can see what that could be called and I am not going there.

Thanks for your understanding and I am sure you will now correctly call the law The Affordable Care Act.

Learn something new everyday. Everybody i know calls it Obamacare.

The problem with calling it The Affordable Care Act is that it is in no way Affordable nor does it exhibit any amount of Care. Obamacare isn't really all that great either, because Obama Really Don't Care.
By the way, the term Tea ******* doesn't offend this Tea Partier. When someone uses the term, it just alerts me to the fact that they don't know $#!+.

You do not think Affordable Health Care is good? Ask a parent of a 22 year old college student who can now keep the child on their policy for 4 more years at affordable rates. Ask anyone who has some sort of health problem and could not get health coverage because of a pre-existing condition.

Yes, it is definitely good.

However, this post was to say that Obamacare is kind of a derogatory term. When you are with people who respect your position as a Tea Party person, please respect us by calling the plan by it's proper name - The Affordable Health Care Act. Thank you.

It has nothing to do with respect. You can put a gold ring in a pig's nose and call it a lady, but it will still be a pig...go back and read my post.

Looks like some Tea Party people will not give respect even when it is afforded to them in return. Well, those people are not even in The Villages and hopefully are not typical of those in the Tri-County area.

Thanks to our POTUS and all our buddies in Washington, I and the Mr. have postponed retirement for now...Would love to be in The Villages yesterday, but still working. We now know how true this old proverb is ~ A bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush!

No problem - just keep on enjoying working in NW Ohio. The Villages continues to be a wonderful place and gets better each and every day.

I am sure selling a home in NW Ohio would be a major undertaking and most likely not a profitable situation but homes are selling like hotcakes in The Villages and home prices and values are rising.

Keep paying into the Social Security so I and my fellow Villagers can keep on collecting. We thank you for your contribution.

Enjoy your weekend.

Glad to be of assistance. Truly glad some are still getting what they deserve out of the SS system. Already prepared to never receive, and am OK with it. We have never put our hope in the government taking care of us anyway. Have very few materials needs or wants. Debt free, taking care of our own and then some. Life is good!
Hope you enjoy your weekend too!

chachacha: I dropped AARP long ago because their agenda did not track with my political leanings. I joined AMAC last year paid my dues for two years. AMAC appears to really focus on seniors wherein AARP detoriated into a for profit company at the expense of seniors. I hope AMAC doesn't fall into that trap. Seniors would be wise to carefully review AARP activities because they would find that they track with liberals that are left of Pelosi.

buggyone: with all due respect the reason they call it ObamaCare is because he and Pelosi hide in his corner office putting the final touches on it so that they could pass it before anyone could read it. Obama and Pelosi hotly debated its name ObamaCare , no PelosiaCare...... Pelosi said well i"m the speaker" And Obama said "well i'm the president. And so Pelosi understood the political ramifications and deferred to Obama, asking only if she could at least make the announcement to the American people. Obama said "yes." The next day Pelosi arranged a news conference. She said "Obama your very popular president the bastion of hope and change practically single handedly written this 2000 page law." " However, we won't know what's in it until it is passed. "

Rubicon,

Cute little scenario you or yours concocted but let's not use the somewhat derogatory term of "Obamacare" anymore and call it The Affordable Care Act.
Thanks.

This Ladies and Gentlemen, is how a Liberal takes control of a thread and changes the subject.
