The GOP wants Obamacare repealed and are going to repeal it.
NO Republican voted for Obamacare.
First, you would have to create States again. Most Americans now see states only as distributors of Federal monies. States have no representation at the Federal level and have abdicated all their power to the Leviathan. They not only accept the usurpation of their powers (as do the people), but they welcome it.
The lack of accountability is the source of all government control. Senators don’t even pretend to be State agents, and the House is no better. They may give a token speech occasionally, but they never take any action to enforce the Constitution.
It has been so long since we’ve had a true Republic most people wouldn’t even recognize one. 80% of Americans think we are a democracy!
Say what?
NO REPUBLICAN DEFUNDED OBAMACARE.
The first step to getting better is to admit you have a problem. The Republicans have done nothing to defend our country. Republicans are not incompetent; they are complicit.
To defund Obamacare, they would have needed Obama’s signature and he would have vetoed such a proposition. Congress did not have the power to defund Obamacare on their own.
Well, technically the house did have the power to withdraw the funding. What they didn’t have were the stones to pull the trigger.
Right. Obama would have closed down the government by vetoing the Obamacare defunding in the quarterly budget and then the media would have blamed the Republicans for shutting down the government. Americans don’t know squat about the process and would fall or the screeching blaming and scare tacit of the left.
