Try again, Ice.
Since when have you lived in a red state?

This
message came to us from Bill in Kentucky.
"Putting
things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months,
10 days. December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1
day. What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl
Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time for this progressive
federal government to build a working webpage. Mobilization of millions,
building tens of thousands of tanks, planes, jeeps, subs, cruisers,
destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc.
Turning the tide in North Africa, Invading Italy, D-Day, Battle of
the Bulge, Race to Berlin - all while we were also fighting the Japanese in
the Pacific!! And in that amount of time - this administration can't
build a working
webpage."
Yes, and during that time the vast majority of Americans found it their patriotic duty to support the war effort, to make sacrifices, and to do what was necessary to succeed. In contrast, this program has faced dozens of congressional efforts to delete it, a Supreme Court challenge, court challenges from several states, funding fights at every turn, and a massive propaganda campaign against it. Funny that many of the problems that website faces result from the overwhelming demand for what it provides.

Regards,

D-Ray

If there is an "overwhelming demand" for what it offers why was there support for the bolded?

Look at the last bolded item and also consider that much of the more vociferous congressional opposition comes from safe districts. I would even suspect that some of the constituents of those creating roadblocks are among the ones creating overwhelming demand on the system right now.

Former Pres Clinton says Obama and Congressional Dems should make good on their promise, and I noticed the NewsHour stopped calling it Obamacare.

Blood in the water, '14?

I suggest a massive propaganda campaign against it was mounted to counter a massive propaganda campaign for it.

Are you saying that those against it are jacking up the site with intentions of crashing it?

Those who may face cancellation and higher premiums number about 4 million.

4 million vs the 30 million covered under the ACA
