More than ever and hard as it may be we gotta primary these GOPe frauds right out of office. Make them lame ducks and replace with patriots. A tall but necessary order. No more sending messages-—replace with messengers. Out with the old, in with the bold.
Like they repealed and defunded obamacare?
Reminds me of the cartoon character “Wimpy” whose tag line is “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

“Wimpy” .... pun intended? LOL!
RE: Like they repealed and defunded obamacare?
How do you do that without going through a shutdown?
“House GOP leadership: We’ll vote to defund Planned Parenthood this fall”
Of course they will, because they know it will be blocked in the Senate. The only way to stop any part of obama’s agenda, is to omit its funding from spending authority bills and then keep repassing the same bills each time immediately after obama veto’s them and lay the blame on obama for shutting the government down.
Of course the spinless GOPe would never do that, because they think they can still dupe enough ignorant GOP voters into thinking that by passing meaningless bills that will never reach obama’s desk means they are trying really, really hard to stop obama, but it’s just not possible.
What does it mean to “freeze funding”? Does that just mean to keep funding at current levels? Congress should simply not include pp in the next budget.
Whenever I read about Republicans trying to pass legislation popular with their base, I can’t help think of a scene in the Simpson’s Movie. They erect a small wall to stop people from dumping in the lake. They call Cletus to test it. He is carrying a opossum, or rat, or something. He bumps into the waist high wall, and looks befuddled. He bumps into it a second time, and then says, “Aw caint, aw jest caint.”
I can’t help but think of this scene every time I watch McConnell try to pass legislation that isn’t favored by Democrats.
Bingo! The GOPe believe they can fool us yet again with another doomed show vote. They chickened out of attaching an amendment to a recent "must pass" transportation funding bill, opting instead for a rigged Senate show vote in which McConnell himself voted against defunding the death camps. Ted Cruz is right - the Republican leadership is playing for the other team.
Has anyone ask why this Fall? Why not now?
Yes, this is a ‘Show Vote’ because it will be a standalone bill that Obama can easily veto. It won’t be attached to any must-pass bill such as the Highway Bill or the upcoming Budget/CROmnibus Bill.
And yes, it is correct to point out that Boehner will back this doomed stand-alone bill to distract from a vote to remove him from the Speakership.
Nevermind..i get it..budget cycle.
Still, they accomplished ANYTHING in the last decade of note?
What has changed that would lead anyone to believe they will accomplish this or anything else..???
Public hanging is to good for most of them.
RE: Has anyone ask why this Fall? Why not now?
Congress is not in session.
Especially when it get framed in the press as: a vote to hurt womyn’s health. Someone should counter it is akin to saying Germany had a population crisis in the 30s so they opened concentration camps.
By the way, attaching Mike Lee’s amendment the to the Senate version of that “must pass” bill required only 10 votes — but there were not even ten righteous men found in the Senate on that day. Sound familiar? Prepare for the judgment of a righteous God!
Yep, got it.
Agent Orange?
It already has a nasty reputation and no one can convince me that Boehner is not an Obama operative.
Donald Trump can bring the Press to bear responsibility if they run with it as an attack on Women’s Health.
Donald Trump’s wife Melania is from central Europe where Christianity is still strong and abortion on demand is still viewed as a horror. I will bet she is very conservative on this issue and doesn’t buy for a minute the twisting of ‘abortion’ on demand into a ‘women’s health’ issue.
I will bet Melania, who bore with Donald a 9-year old son, has been a force in his conversion to pro-life.
I detect the faint whif of BS to that claim.
Of course. They’ll do yet another show bill. Because the so called pro life gop will not tie it to the budget, planned infanticide will continue to be funded.
Understanding the scum that runs the gop isn’t that hard. Just think like coward and a traitor and it becomes pretty obvious as to what they’ll do.
