Stand firm, no backing down GOP....the left would keep this pile of trash...remember Nan Pelosi's admonition: "you have to pas it before you can find out what's in it..." Stupid on her part and utterly stupid to let her get away with it even though not one Republican voted for the ACA.....STAND FIRM GOP....don't you think the headline is a bit over the top? Fake News, something Politico is prone to do?

“Courage” is defined as, “being scared, but doing it anyway!”

I think they should feel concern for their safety.

Liberals are immature, emotionally stunted, prone to violent swings of emotion, and disposed towards violence.

If I were screening audiences for a public figure, one of the top two criteria for flagging would be Democrat registration and/or support for liberal causes.

If the left starts it, we’ll damn sure finish it. Patriots should make a point of attending townhalls. Infiltrate these protest groups.

If they bring violence, act.

I thought the ‘protesters’ feared for their lives? Isn’t that why they are ‘protesting?
Big mean Twump is going to take away their “free” stuff.
He’s going to kick out all their illegal invader buddies and make them be responsible for their personal choices?

Repealing Obamacare is like ripping off an old, contaminated band aid. Sometimes, when it's the right thing, adults just have to do it and get it over with. If our Congressmen are so delicate they can't handle the whimpering of the welfare class, then they need to find a new job, but now they need to do their jobs. Repeal. Today. No replacement. Then later look back at the issue and decide if something more should be done. Or not.

They could try investigating Acorn-BLM-VJ under RICO.
Na, that makes too much sense and might impact Ryan’s time at the gym.

The GOP should have just shut up and worked on the Repeal/replace ,but Ryan and the other Soros employees just had to confuse things from the start

“House Republicans during a closed-door meeting Tuesday discussed how to protect themselves and their staffs from protesters storming town halls and offices”

Use the same electronic voting equipment to verify “registered voter” data at the security check point before anyone enters the town hall — Not a registered voter, no problem, please step over here with a valid ID and fill out this 16 page document with short form essay as to why a non-resident, non-registered voter should attend a local congressional districts town hall, should only take about an hour. Have several deputies stationed around the entrance and working the magnetometer’s and a couple plain clothes officers with visibly exposed firearms in the town hall roving.

Make it just intimidating enough that the D-Bags will think twice about acting like D-Bags and obvious enough that the citizens feel safe...Solved!!!!

You are correct. I decided to go back on social media after a couple of years to see what people were saying, and oh boy.

Just this morning I see a post stating Yemen won;t allow Americans in the country,because of the immigration EO, and then a cackle of emotional people posting about how bad Trump is bla bla,and now we are a laughing stock around the world in two weeks, and our foreign policy is a mess.
Another person stated how Mattis was forced ot say sorry, but it was not his fault of the immigration EO.

I corrected them it was Kelly , do they not know who is saying what before they type. They are emotional all over the place, and Yemen is not about the EO, but the raid .Told them how the NY Times is biased, and they have ot do their own research to get the facts. That they should get over it, and stop acting like babies.

First two words were F off, then went into a tirade of how I ma an idiot, the NY Times tells the truth, I must be drinking koolaid etc. Looked at her profile and she goes on the women’s march dressed as a vagina. Good grief, and these people think they should be taken seriously.

These people have no concept of doing research, and just repeat talking points they are given on social media and off their email list. Question them and they just insult as they have no answers.

They are basically emotionally deranged having temper , baby tantrums.

They have no logic, they have no reason, so they convince themselves that logic and reason are tools of the white privileged overlord and all that really matters is how they feels.

Agreed, and I have found that these people surround themselves with like minded people. If they hear another view they cannot handle it and their emotions start in overload.

The other day I asked them why do you oppose the nominee for education, and all they could say was she is a rich bimbo etc.
When I asked about a poor black kid in a failing school is stuck there, then cold he not be given a chance to an education.

No answer just insults again.
