Alabama just passed law rejecting Mandatory Health coverage

[dixiegrrrrl]

It was one of the ballot measures.
Fallout from this ought to be interesting.

sometimes I don't.."

1. Doesnt matter, Federal law takes precedent.

[NYC Liberal]

5. Sadly the same thing is true about the marijuana legalization bills.

[napi21]

2. Does that mean they w'on'thavew to comply with Obama Care? I alwys thought

that Federallw overrides stateaw.

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Oh, it does.

But that never stopped the nutz around here.
Remember George Wallace standing in the doorway of Univ. of Alabama, saying he would never allow segregation?
They even have put up a small monument to honor that peckerhead.

Remember Judge Roy Moore who refused to take the 10 Commandments from his court room, in defiance of Federal law?
He is running for office, again.

Tis fall, when the nuts are bouncing all over the place.

3. Great

More for us

[obamanut2012]

4. Against Federal Law

Like segregation.

7. Who cares? Let them live with the consequences of their actions for once.

Or, actually, die with them ...

[OldDem2012]

16. Does that also include those of us living in Alabama who are Dems and/or Progressives.....

...who voted in favor of supporting that provision of Obamacare?

Are we throwing the baby out with the bathwater this morning out of total blind hatred?

[BlueDemKev]

8. As long as their part of the United States...

...they cannot defy federal law. That's like a state declaring they won't comply with federal civil rights laws (which we all know Alabama did 50-some years ago).

However, if Alabama wants to secede, I won't stand in their way.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. Pls remember that there are a LOT of very nice Dems down here.

and now, thanks to the ecomomy, we cannot even sell our homes and move!

[BlueDemKev]

11. I'm in Georgia, so I understand.

I just wish there were more folks like us down here in Ol' Dixie!

[Third Doctor]

10. I live in Alabama too.

And it's a trial to be surrounded by the clueless ones.

[bamacrat]

15. So do I.

I voted against that but this state has never been on the cutting edge of progress. I had a co-worker today tell me that she is very liberal when it comes to social matters but Obamacare is going to take her money so she voted for Mitt. I just shook my head and looked at my computer. I'm done arguing with these people. They will just have to see how its gonna be. I have a feeling it will be like Clinton. Everyone hated him while in office, but once he left everyone was like you know he was pretty damn good...just if they could get over Lewinski now.

12. I am sick of the negative attitude towards everyone here

in this state.. I'm not from here, but I have to live here.. There were almost 800,000 votes for Obama here.. So don't lump everyone into the same category..

[BlueDemKev]

14. I'm sick of the negative attitude OF so many people here

...in the South, that is. People are so blinded by anger and hatred, they can't even see straight.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Gary Johnson got 12,000 votes,

cutting into Obama's margin.
All I know is that the polling place had a good turnout, with many African Americans in line.
( which really pissed of the " I wish it were 1860 all over again" white codgers who had to share the line with them.)

[Sancho]

13. You don't have to have health care, but you will pay a tax penalty if you don't have it!

Sooo, you can give more $'s to the IRS and go without health coverage, or else pay for health coverage. Your choice. No one will put you in jail, and it's your money..this is an IQ test.

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Even H'ville Times editors panned this referendum ...

said it had no practical consequence and should be ignored. HT tends to be pro-business and a little conservative.

19. Not surprised what those BACK WOODS HUCKLEBERRY'S do
