What happened to the freshmen Republicans elected in 2010 with the mandate to repeal/defund/put a wrench in the works of obamacare?
Aside from the worn and tired excuse of “well, we don’t control the whole government, so therefore they can’t be expected to do anything”?
What happened to the freshmen Republicans elected in 2010 with the mandate to repeal/defund/put a wrench in the works of obamacare?
The House did pass a bill repealing Obamacare, but passed it on to the "DO NOTHING RAT SENATE" where it went to die, AS THEY KNEW IT WOULD.
House Passes ObamaCare Repeal
Frankly the GOP House has had three chances when they had the absolute power to DEFUND OBAMACARE which I thought was their backup plan.
(1) The Continuing Resolution passed Feb 2011.
HR 1(remember this is the one where the GOP made campaign promises during 2010 of stripping out $100 BILLION of Fed spending, and ended up with $300 million and claimed victory!!).
(2)
The House voted for raising U.S. debt ceiling by $2.1 trillion, August 2, 2011
and (3) The GOP had another bite at the funding apple when the last CR was passed.
Breaking: House passes short-term continuing resolution in dead of night, September 23, 2011
NADA, ZIP, NO DEFUNDING OF OBAMACARE has taken place - only a repeal that had no chance of even being voted on in the RAT Senate. What good are GOP promises? Retire the whole bunch on Nov 6, 2012, or at a minimum dump the leadership.
