No, Paul, by "spin" I meant exactly what I posted, Pence's statement. You know what this vote was as well I. It's all spin from all sides. That's politics 101.

While the Republicans are trying to spin this bill as some kind of job-killing, budget busting socialist government takeover, they knew going in it wasn't going anywhere. But, it was a hyper political show of support to the base.

On the other side, I got an email from Pres. Obama's fund raising arm just hours after the vote passed yesterday. It stated something to effect of "a vote to repeal is a vote for the insurance companies." Please.

Do these politicians honestly believe we're all that stupid? The insurance companies stand to profit greatly from this bill. The Democrats know it, the Republicans know it and any voter with a brain knows it. I didn't see any huge campaign from the insurance industry calling for repeal, did you? Nationwide is on the side of money.
