Emotional toddlers flinging poo. That’s what we’re all up against. Congress will take care of itself—they’ll hire guys with guns.

My concern is for their staffers and families.

It is pretty obvious that the dims are stirring up a campaign of terrorism against anyone who disagrees with them.

My biggest fear is that they are openly and unabashedly breeding the next john hinkley.

I just heard what I thought was a better idea. Implement the revised new program alongside obama care. Permit smaller, less comprehensive and catastrophic packages. Permit purchasing policies across state lines. Cap attorney fees at 20% total (it’s their limit on insurance companies). Add all the bells and whistles republicans have loudly proposed. Now let the two programs compete side by side.

Another trick pony by Soros and his Nazi gang!!!! F’ers better grow a freakin titanium spine! These are all Democrats attending those halltown meetings! I guarantee you the Republicans are being kept in the cold outside while the bastard rats camp outside in order to get front seat and jam the room! If I were the Republicans I would not have hold any meetings this year! If they are smart and cunning which I doubt, they would utilize social media like President Trump! The SoroNazis are trying to stifle freedom and are out there in droves...we must stand firm and we must defeat this bastard!!

They should have repealed it long ago when they actually read it and found out what was in it.
This is something that never should have passed period.

I’d rather kill Obamacare. I don’t want to subsidize insurance that has all the “free’ stuff they mandated in Obamacare. Kill Obamacare. Kill it dead. Bury it under the bodies of a thousand democrat Congressmen, senators, governors, and state-level politicians who lost power because of that Ctrl-Left grab for control. Salt the land it’s buried on, and place a curse on anyone who digs there for the next thousand years.

This is a “mr smith goes to Washington” propaganda piece. The establishment is astro turfing opposition stories to give the illusion of opposition.

a few basement dwelling thugs will cause a ruckus if paid to do so. once the money ends they are back to smoking their “anxiety” pot.

When Sessions is the AG, people will face charges & their tactics might change.

Some of the worst of them need to go to jail for fomenting riots & destruction.

BTW- What is the current status of the 200 +++ that were arrested on Jan 20 in Washington DC???
