Thursday was a banner day for President Obama and congressional Democrats as the Supreme Court validated the signature accomplishment of his first term in office.
But, even as Democrats celebrated, Republicans insisted that their rivals — and members of the media — couldn’t see the forest through the trees.
Jonathan Collegio, communications director for American Crossroads, a leading conservative outside group, called the ruling a “millstone” around the neck of any Democrat running for federal office this fall.

“This ruling is the kiss of death for the Democrat majority in the U.S . Senate as health care just became a tax increase on the middle class in one of the worst economies Americans have ever faced,” added longtime Republican strategist Chris LaCivita.

Time for us to put our money where our mouth is. I’ve never donated to candidates outside my own state, but it is so important for us to win the Senate that I am donating to conservatives who have a real chance of winning in other states. Sen.

Remember, ALL of the dems voted for obamacare, so let’s vote and let’s donate.
