Strange that these small government types are begging for federal government for more money. Why don’t Florida and Texas just pick themselves up by their bootstraps instead of always running to the courts and suing?

There must be some language in which the word “gregabbott” means “simpleton”.

“It is appalling that President Obama would cut off federal health care
dollars to Florida in an effort to force our state further into
Obamacare,” Scott said when he announced his pending lawsuit.

(Emphasis mine)

OK, stop right there. I was under the impression that one of the reasons the Rethugs were against the dreaded O-Care was due to the fact that it was, in their confused minds, government subsidized health care and NOT market based.

But, NOW, apparently, Scott is saying that they’re not getting federal health care but, instead, O-Care. Which is not Federal.

I cannot imagine even the most right wing circuit judge that accepts this nonsense.

Greg Abbott has evolved thumbs?

Obama Admin responds with the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate.

You mean the lawsuit Rick Scott filed, that he wouldn’t have had ti file if he had let Florida participate in th ACA subsidies in the first place? That lawsuit? The “I’m broke because I didn’t take the money you offered me freely and was entitled to, so now I’m going to sue you to get money” lawsuit?

How many of his friends and cronies are going to make money off this. I really hope that someone initiates an investigation into that.

"I commend Governor Rick Scott’s decision to take legal action to protect these important constitutional principles,"

Translation: Fuck the people, we are haters and idiots.

Teabagese - Pronounce the words like you have a mouth full of nuts.

Is it just me or does Abbot have that same protruding jaw/open mouth Dubbbya look?

“It’s difficult to explain how somebody would think that their political situation and their political interest is somehow more important than the livelihoods of 800,000 people,” White house press secretary Josh Earnest said.

One of the things I really like about the Obama administration is the cool, calm, rational response to over-the-top Republican rhetoric.

Same old played out BS that seems to work with the same voting idiots.

Put it up for a vote in Congress. That’ll shut these baggers up quick

Two, trashy, ugly tea gop crook pukes from the South… To be expected!

appears Abbott has no idea what he is talking about. Love these small govt folks suing govt…did they forget about their opposition to frivolous suits?

Another day, another idiocy.
It’s so distracting.
No need to look over and see what is happening with TPP.

Hey, I looked for the right place to enter this information, but alas nothing could be found at TPM about TPP. How odd.
Oh, and if you think the working class and lower middle classes defecting from Dems will be “enthusiastic” to vote for Hilary if TPP is fast tracked, both underestimate and overestimate them.
Yes, most people are too dumb to care about whether or not the SC becomes Alito’s playground.
But they are not too dumb to recognize what more trade agreements mean to THEIR futures.
Think progressives will line up with enthusiasm? Oh, never mind, who needs “retarded” progressives?

And, oh, hey look, even VOX doesn’t think it’s NOT a problem.

Your post is confusing. Are you a retarded progressive? I think “special needs” is way more PC.

Our Gov Abbott.
Likely the one opposing the one he has stuck in an orifice.

How much does “big thumbs up” cost Texas Medicaid recipients?

As always, the issue isn’t about health care, nor about helping people in need. The issue is, and remains, the Black Man in the White House. The clowns will do anything and everything possible to ensure that he receives no credit for doing anything remotely positive. We all know it’s true, they just keep denying it…because they know being openly racist isn’t a good play politically.
