http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/section/6/article/123781/Collins: Im not going to get the Obamacare fan. Obamacare needs to be repealed and replaced its what were doing. Im not going to raise taxes its not what were doing. Were not liberals, Collins said during a Hall County GOP event. Just because you scream at me, Im not going to change my stripes. Im conservative.
Protestor: Its bad enough that they didnt expand Obamacare in the state of Georgia, and now theyre trying to kick even more people off of health care and make it to where insurance companies are able to deny people health insurance with pre-existing conditions, said Jones, whos also the executive vice president of the Young Democrats of Georgia.
This is one example of the Dems not running anyone in many of the districts in Ga. I wish they'd go back to Howard Dean's
idea of competing in all 50 States! There are more than Dems who are upset with the new HC plan the Pubs have, and I think Ga. just might get some Dem wins this time, especially if the Pubs stick with screwing the avg. person.

He was an idiot back then too.
I got to know him when I briefly attended North Hall.

(31,111 posts)5. Do the Republicans have a manual of things to say?
What he said about this don't scream at me I'm a conservative I'm not going to change, sounds very similar to something Lindsey Graham said after a town hall meeting in Clemson. Graham said something to the effect that just because people yell at him he wasn't going to change and he was conservative.
