Yes, Obama and the Democrats are entitled to a bit of a victory lap today, after Chief Justice Roberts searched deeply within his political self and found a path to uphold ObamaCare.
Today's ruling will probably go down in history as the most effective GOP voter turnout operation ever. There is only one way to repeal ObamaCare and that is through the ballot box. It will happen.
Obama campaigned on a promise to never raise taxes on any families earning less than $250,000 a year. Today, the Court called the mandate for what it is...a tax. In doing so, it acknowledged that, not only did Obama break his campaign promise, but he and his leftist allies have ushered in the largest tax hike in history. They will go with that record into the voting booth in November.
From a nakedly partisan viewpoint, today's ruling is the best case scenario for the GOP. ObamaCare is still deeply unpopular and now the only way to undo it is to sweep Obama and dozens of Democrats out of office.
Roberts may have pulled off the ultimate Jedi Knight mind trick. He upheld the law by framing it as a tax, which runs counter to Obama's campaign promises. He has ensured that the only way to appeal the law is to prevail, across the board, in November. That was ultimately always the case.
Patriots around the country will now realize that there is no cavalry on the horizon. If we want to preserve our liberties, we will have to fight for it. Patriots and Independents now have a singular reason to show up at the polls in November. This focus will doom Obama's reelection campaign.
Today, I donated to a congressional candidate who is committed to repealing ObamaCare. What did you do?

Finally, a writer with a long-ball view is heard from.
Here are some RealPolitik 101 realities:
Robert's decision was as SCOTUS decisions should be, a very narrow legal decision. He didn't say Obamacare is a good or popualt law. He simply said, as a tax, it is legal.
Secondly, for the Great Unwashed, the 2012 election contest began today. Up until now all the issues were ones that Movement Conservatives cared about, but were not too important in the minds of middle-of-the-roaders. They are the ones who decide an election, and for the first time, there now is a frontal lobe / front porch issue they care about. For the first time, a WIIFM isssue (A What's In It For Me Issue) that effects the whole midle class, an "Obama is going to rip moeny out of my wallet" issue, a "Romney proises to fix it on Day One" issue.
At 10:15 this AM, the "there's no difference between Obama and Romney" claim died on the steps of the SCOTUS building.
Obamacare is only one small part of the disaster Obama has forced on sleeping sheeple, but like small battles on Bunker and Breeds Hills, and an attack on Pearl Harbor, this will awaken the Sleeping Tiger that the Great American Unwashed have become.
Of course, this post will be immediatly attacked by the DO Obama supporters who lurk here, but even if they disuade some FReepers, the public was not fooled today.
If we all get onboard and get everyone else on board, we can ride this to the only victory that really counts, the one for the House, the Senate and the Presidency on November 6.
Everything is meaningless crying over spilt milk.
The question for every FReeper. Do we now fight to remove, repeal and reject EVERYTHING Obama has done, or do we sit here and cry about it.
We have only one truly contested election in Central Florida, the one to ensure Alan Grayson does not buy his way back to Congress in the new Congressional District. Today I maxed out to his best Republican opponent.
Please join us in lighting the fire to take America with actions, not words.
Don't worry about the DU disruptors here who will quickly turn this into an anti-Romney post. Keep your eyes on the prize.
That prize is America
