Dem Rep. Jumps Out of Chair, Explodes at GOP’ers During Obamacare Hearing

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) rose from his seat on Tuesday during a congressional hearing into the Affordable Care Act’s problematic roll-out. He accused his Republican colleagues in the House of dishonestly seeking to identify the problems with the ACA because they would prefer to see it repealed entirely.

Pascrell began by insisting that, even though Democrats opposed Medicare Part D in the Bush Era, they worked to make sure that the program was a success.

He became animated as he said that Democrats put aside their opposition to Bush in order to make a policy objective work for the good of the American public. “And how many of you stood up to do that,” Pascrell said exploding out of his chair. “None. Zero.”

“What are you going to do about the approximately 17 million children with preexisting conditions who can no longer be denied health insurance coverage,” Pascrell asked his Republican colleagues. “We want to go back and want to say you are no longer covered any longer. Are you going to tell the parents of those kids?”

It sounds like you’ve raised a very smart daughter and you should be proud of her as we all should.

My point is that there are a lot of folks out there that aren’t like your daughter and want Santa Clause to take care of them.

I haven’t made up anything. Just because you are a bum doesn’t mean that I am. I have worked my entire life and pay my own way. I have never expected anyone to pay my way unlike you.

The RINO’s will exploit all the emotions over Obamacare to pretend they will reverse it.

We need real conservatives to replace the current 90 percent plus of GOP elected officials who fake being conservative.

I’m not voting for RINO’s but in these difficult times people may opt to elect them anyway in a fit of rage at their cirumstances.
