Keep in mind what we call Obamacare is just the old Heritage Foundation health plan and pretty much what Republicans have espoused in the past. Liberal ideas such as single payer were off the table before we even started. There isn't even a public option.

The underlined is underlined because it is inaccurate to the point of hilarity. The South used to be Democratic because the Republican Party is the party of Lincoln. The rest of the post is of similar quality, but the underlined, oh man oh man - that's a real knee slapper.
