Amazing how many FReepers want to get rid of the Freedom Caucus. I have seen post after post calling for their heads.

Word is there were more moderate/centrist NOs than red meat right wing NOs. There are only 25 of the latter so not hard to have more than that.

"Word is"?

You'll have to come up with a better source than that.

And your math would suggest that there were at least 51 "noes". That would mean that the vote wasn't even close as some would suggest.

Darn tootin!

Like the sound of that.

Much better rhetoric.

Why no YES votes from the ‘Rats?

[DoughtyOne]

We ask the Conservatives in the House to stand up. When they do many folks trash them, denigrate them.

How many times have we heard, “Where are the Conservatives?”

Now we know!

Kudos to them! It’s about time!

Freedom Caucus saved Trump’s bacon. Why pass a bad bill just to pass a bill.

[socalgop]

it feels like some people are more interested in the exercise of power than how it is exercised.

1. Replace Ryan with Gingrich.

2. Get the right Bill to floor, which has already been presented 6 times before.

[ForYourChildren]

Everyone has been suckered in.

“Conservatives” are assuming that government has a role in healthcare.

Then they proceed to argue the finer points over how the government should or should not include pre-natal healthcare, should their be a 4% or 6% increase here, how about opiates for prescription, or not.

Hey I have an idea. Why don’t we start with the presupposition that everyone, all the world citizens, should have healthcare. Lets have the UN create the World Health Care Act. Yea, why not. The WHCA. Then we call discuss and hyperventilate all the stupid finer points around that.

Uh, hey, “There were some aspects of the WHCA bill that I didnt like, but I was not clear on all the points in the bill.” “ I admit I dont follow this stuff 23 hrs a day, dont have the time or gigabytes to do so.” But whatever. I am sure the conservatives over there at the UN will figure it out for me.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, but how hard was that?

It was evidently pretty difficult for a lot of folks to figure out.

[taterjay]

Ryan needs to go. Otherwise, this is just an event, so move on.

[Cobra64]

Yup, Ryan is an open borders puke, determined to destroy our Republic any way he can, including legislatively.

[Paulie]

More than friends, Mr. President. Allies.

You’ll find that those of us who love liberty will be there in the foxhole with you, fighting all the way.

You have our respect and admiration.

[Cobra64]

Yup, Ryan is sabotaging the Trump administration. I hope Trump sees this. Bannon most likely is not fooled by Ryan.

"a group of roughly 40 conservatives..."

240 GOP congressman and only 40 conservatives?!? Sad!

The "two sides of the same coin" argument RE: GOP vs. Dems is becoming more true every day! I might have to re-register (I) or Libertarian. Or maybe Constitution Party: https://www.constitutionparty.com/principles/twelve-key-issues/

[georgiegirl]

Old adage so applicable here: You can’t make a purse out of a sow’s ear.

"The Democrats don’t do that. They are united in their mission to destroy America. And they ALL do it, ALL THE TIME."

it's much easier to destroy something than build something. Chaos is easier to create than form.

[so_real]

Don't worry. We outnumber the Rinos, by a lot.

[SoFloFreeper]

DJT is talking about bringing on the Democrats for the next health care push. Nice. 🙄
