The real conservatives are getting feisty!!

I can’t help but think some of this is in the wake of Trump calling people out and the usual media onslaught not working to shut him up.

A successful vote to repeal before January 2017 will be vetoed and would be simply a symbolic gesture.

There is no way, absolutely no way on earth, that Mitch McConnell allows a vote on this. He’ll shut down the Senate, call in the army, whatever he needs to do to prevent it.

Conservative firebrand...

I'm still waiting for the day Boxer, Feinstein, Murray, Shumer, etc are labeled "Leftist bombthrower..." or "Cryptocommunist..."

The thing I don’t understand, after years of watching Republicans fight the Democrat controlled Congress. Why can’t they get 60 votes to bring legislation the Democrats don’t like to the floor to be approved by Republicans on a party line vote? Don’t the Democrats know how this is supposed to be done? They are supposed to allow votes on extreme legislation, then taunt their voters with, “Elections have consequences.” I really wish our Republican leadership would take them aside and straighten them out.

It’s unclear whether Lee’s gambit will work

No it isn't

That makes 2 voices.

Where are all the rest of the congress critters.

How about repealing the exemption that THEY get?

Thank you for referencing that article Oldeconomybuyer. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Simply put, lawless Obama is going to predictably veto any bill that repeals Obamacare.

Also, as a consequence of the 17th Amendment, regardless that low-information patriot voters have had three election cycles to build a 2/3 Senate majority which has the constitutional authority to stop Obama in his tracks, voters have failed to do so. So it’s unlikely that both Houses of Congress will find the 2/3 majority votes necessary to override Obama’s veto of any bill that repeals Obamacare.

So other than an approaching election year, I don’t see why Senators McConnell and Lee are so excited about repealing Obamacare.

What am I overlooking?

———Lee gets to tell his supporters that he’s responsible——

and then announce he’s running for president

Cruz calling McConnell out as the back-stabbing liar he is should help some make up their minds about who they want to be related to in the Public Eye. Some say Cruz hasn’t the experience and I say he has something more important - brains and determination.

Two months ago the Republicans were talking about plans to keep Obamacare going for a while if the Supreme Court struck it down. Now we’re supposed to believe that the Republicans are willing to repeal it and end it immediately?
