Boehner & Pelosi team up to thwart opposition.
The maneuver wasn't without its critics, however. Minutes after the bill passed, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went to the House floor to denounce the tactic, saying it reminded him of how Rep. Nancy Pelosi used to rule the House when she was Speaker
You sound surprised?
RE “Democrats could have opposed the process and demanded a roll-call vote be taken”: nobody on the GOP could have opposed and demanded a vote?? Wonder how THAT works.
Call me cynical that many in the GOP would have voiced PASS but then taken to the floor/airwaves to make a racket
If Pelosi's for it, I'm a'gin it!
'Course, I can usually say the same for Boehner.
Now I wonder what these two turds of a feather are cooking up?
And all the Senators will vote for the delay also.
Is the heat beginning to rise in the Democrat kitchen?
Speaker Boner is a disaster.
Maybe Ryan will wake up from his slumber and realize he is spooning with the enemy.
...or not.
The only thing this does is help Democrats will older voters.
Boehner is doing everything possible to undermine conservatives.
This is how they will pass Scamnesty too. Most likely that was how they got Bug Eyes to go along with it.
Boehner just shoved another one up America’s back side.
So Bonehead teamed up with the Pelosi and the Rats to stick it to conservatives. Again.
He needs to be stripped of the Speakership, as of yesterday. Gowdy for Speaker!
“They voiced it? Oh, my God,” exclaimed Budget Chairman Paul Ryan as he walked onto the House floor.
I find it hard to believe he didn’t know.
They shouldda let it be cut.
I’d like to see doctors go on strike against Obama & Co.
I hate these people (Leadership).
This cut was a sleight of hand by the Dems originally in order to make Obamacare slightly less expensive and maintain the fiction of it not being a budget buster.
They always said the money would be returned to the Doctors by subsequent legislation when no one would be looking at the budget or national debt.
One can only surmise that the GOP leadership decided to let the Dems off the hook because they were getting pressured by the doctors themselves and didn’t want to gut the medicare system for their constituents.
The way of the Traducer. Who loves the undercover of darkness. Who was a theif and robber from the beginning. Who loves the world.
There is one best way to get rid of Obamacare. That would be for doctors to refuse treatment to all politicians who have voted for, or exempted themselves, from Obamacare.
I guarantee, Obamacare would go away ASAP.
The establishment is our enemy folks. You want status quo in Washington, keep voting these lifers into office.
I’m beginning to think that the Republic needs a Constitutional amendment to require a roll call vote on each and every floor vote and that once a vote is cased by a senator or representative, that vote can not be changed later.
and this does not affect ACU ratings
