Well, no duh!

There has yet to be an actual repeal bill presented.
Every one has been just rearranging the deck chairs on the sinking Titanic.

I agree, and that's a great graphic Fiddlestix.

Thanks for posting it. I get a kick out of it every time I see it.

They weren't voting on a repeal. They were voting to replace one government healthcare fiasco with another one.

Good folks in Alabama, cast your votes today for JUDGE ROY MOORE for USA Senator, and help destroy The Trump Hater, Senate Leader, Failed Republican Establishment RINO, Mitch McConnell...the most useless Senate Leader in the history of the USA!!!

Mitch McConnell must be removed as Senate leader immediately. I urge all of the great folks in Alabama to support and vote for JUDGE ROY MOORE today and defeat Luther Strange with a massive vote defeat.

It’s time for massive primary activity to take the Republican Establishment and Never Trumpers!!! Praying that Roy Moore will be victorious massively this evening whe the results come in. McConnell must go....like right now!!!

A shame. This was the best of the bills. Our Congress is completely corrupt.

My understanding from the beginning was that 0care was designed to cripple the economy and all but wipe out the middle class.

To this day I’ve never hear nor seen in print anything to the contrary.

Unless the coming tax reform gives a huge gift to the middle class, our days are numbered. As per the wet dreams of the elites, there will be the few mega-rich, and those peons who serve them.

Thanks Republicans - you better hope there’s no such thing as Karma.

Oh Mitchy Boy, I have a bill you can vote on that actually might just pass. It is simple, it is elegant and it will put some of these assholes (mainly democrats) on the spot. I imagine if you were smart you would vote on this, but most turtles aren’t that bright so. . .

Here is my proposal for a first step in healthcare reform and in ending Obamacare:

Congress and personell employed thereby shall be subject to the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

Lets see:

How John McCain likes facing cancer with a plan he has to acquire on the open exchange.

How much the democrats really like Obamacare.

How the RINO’s are really privileged insiders who could care about those outside the Beltway.

Lets see Mitch, let us see.

What really pisses me off about all this nonsense is that here are the fat cat political phonies (impersonating public servants) carping about health for seven plus years kicking the issue around like a can in the street. Meanwhile the health care they voted in for themselves goes not only unthreatened, it isn’t even on the table!

This is the third time they’ve wasted countless hours and money on this garbage. The petulant whiners can’t agree on a single thing. Pathetic.

Their political calculation regarding mulattocare -- as are all of the swampdweller calculations -- based on only one thing ... one thing only: What will help them get re-elected.

So, the swampdwellers have individually calculated that they have a better chance to be re-elected by refusing to repeal mulattocare than by repealing it. (This is not to dismiss the political shenanigans that are going on in the leader-less U.S. Senate -- that is, having just barely enough votes to reject the repeal so that the collective swampdwellers who have no intention of supporting the repeal of mulattocare can shout out during the primaries that they voted to repeal it ... expecting that the majority of their constituents aren't aware enough to catch on to what they are doing ... and it's much more often than not a good bet by the swampdwellers.)

We pretty much need a Constitutional Amendment to reform our Tax system — not for any legal reason, but because so many are invested in keeping things the way they are.

I like the reforms/amendments in this booklet.

This headline should read —

Republican leaders: “We lied our asses off for 7 years and you bought it. Suckas!”

“...Susan Collins. A Liberal, Dem voting hag RINO...”

Perfect description - I would add one phrase:

A liberal, Dem voting, rabidly pro abortion and for funding planned parenthood with our taxes no matter what else, hag RINO...”

“They need to hold to a vote to put the Senators on record of support or against continuing Obama Care.”


That is precisely why they didn’t hold a vote, so that no one has to go on the record.

Mrs. Newgeezer keeps getting fundraising appeals from--depending on where you look--DonaldJTrump.com, DonaldTrump.com and the "Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and the Republican National Committee."

HELL. NO.

What the **** happened to "DRAIN THE SWAMP!"?

Can't wait to see what carrot they are going to hang in front of us with their wonderful "Tax Cuts & Tax Reform" plan.

It won't be worth a shit, mark my word. They are all a bunch of effing scumbags that need to be hung in a public square. Just after we burn their houses and offices down!

SCREW ALL OF THEM!
