Cowards! Despicable, belly crawling, dung heap cowards!

Some Republicans — lawmakers who might have felt pressure to vote to defund Obamacare — believe privately that the fight is essentially over, and that the GOP should come to terms with the reality of national health care.

We are being led into the cattle cars by the people we elected. Or DID we?

These are NOT Republicans. They are RINO progressives whose big government, anti constitutional vaues make them traitors to the People.

They are essentially traitors.The fight will never be over until Obamacare is repealed completely.

“Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.”

Follow the money. The GOPe killed the bill in the House because of lobbying. Find out who benefits and find out with whom they met.. It’s time to purge and sanitize the den of iniquity.

[BuffaloJack]

Membership in the Republican Party does not make you a Constitutional Conservative.

[NTHockey]

Down with the Whigs! TEA Party today; Freedom forever.

[redgolum]

It was a loosing issue.

To many people want someone else to take care of them, and actually support socialized medicine. The irony is that next year, when the full costs hit, you will see a lot of screaming about how much “free” health care costs.

[Pecos]

Proving, once again, that the only difference between the people at the top is the slope of the hill they are shoving us down.

RE :”It wasn’t for lack of effort, at least on the part of some conservative Republicans. As the House prepared to consider its own version of the continuing resolution last week — it ultimately passed 267 to 151 — more than two dozen conservative GOP lawmakers signed on to an amendment that would have defunded Obamacare. They submitted the amendment and hoped it would receive a vote but were stymied when the House leadership declared that no amendments would be allowed.
“If that amendment had gone to the floor, far and above a majority of the conference would have voted for it,” said Arizona Rep. Matt Salmon, one of the supporters, in an interview Saturday. “I think everyone in the conference would have voted for it,” added Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis, another supporter.
Nevertheless, the Republican leadership did not allow the amendment to be considered. And that, Salmon, DeSantis, and other conservative Republicans believe, is a measure of the leadership’s uneasiness with continuing the legislative fight against Obamacare. Some Republicans — lawmakers who might have felt pressure to vote to defund Obamacare — believe privately that the fight is essentially over, and that the GOP should come to terms with the reality of national health care”

This is why Ryan came out with another symbolic budget resolution that balances the budget in ~ 10 years and cuts out all O-care spending while using (keeping) the past tax Obama increases and medicare cuts for the same purpose.

This way the House sends Obama and Reid the CR they demand, and House conservatives get another symbolic vote that never sees law. Ryan was trying to explain it on FNS to Chris Wallace.(he called it 'tough choices')

Do you folks enjoy listening to Ryan talk on TV? It always sounds like bla-bla-bla to me. I dont dislike him but he always sounds like a (read) talking point machine, kind of like Hannity.

[SamuraiScot]

the GOP should come to terms with the reality of national health care.

We'll come to terms with national health care when it's dead, and everyone responsible for it on both sides of the aisle is in jail or dead.

Many voters will vote against Republicans and conservatives if Obamacare remains on the books at election time. Just be advised....

[DManA]

To paraphrase Reagan, republicans aren’t the solution, they are the problem.

[Always A Marine]

York does not name the 20 good guys who supported the proposed amendment to defund Obamacare, and I can’t find any other source which identifies them. This means that every GOP representative will claim to his constituents that he was among the twenty. Incomplete reporting allows RINOs to have their cake and eat it, too - while real Conservatives who did the right thing are assumed guilty by association. That’s too bad...
