A few weeks after Congress passed critical spending legislation that fully funded Planned Parenthood and the Affordable Care Act, Republicans this week will take a symbolic stand by once again trying -- and failing -- to repeal the law.
"We owe it to the American people to take our best shot at repealing Obamacare, and that's what we'll do next week," Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) said Saturday in the Republican radio address. ...

This is McConnell-Ryan (Boehner)’s face saving trick. They gave Obama all the funds he asked for. then they pass this crap to ask Obama to not spend the funds they gave him. Of course he will veto it.
They play the public for fools. It won’t work.
This is not the gov we deserve. It certainly isn't the one we vote for, judging by the DC Slimes campaign promises.
Ryan is a traitor. Everyone who voted for him as Speaker is an enabler. This vote is just a vote to confirm their complicity. Grrrr..........
Kabuki theater. Yes they do think the peasants are that stupid and that they are superior in every way. Thats why they are in Congress and we aren’t, right?.../s
“We owe it to the American people to take our best shot at repealing Obamacare, and that’s what we’ll do next week,” Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.)
Do I have to guess how she voted on Ryan’s ‘it was so bad I HAD to pass it’ capitulation.
Next up: GOP whom vote NO on floor, after voting YEA in conference, wish to show the base how staunchly they guard their ‘small govt’ credo.
For a “face-saving trick”, it’s costing them every cell of flesh and skin on their face right down to the skull.
They need to sit down and shut up. Save your lies for your next campaign.
the message is, when the new effort is rebuffed in the senate with less than 60 votes, or vetoes by Obama, the message is provide a majority f 60 votes in the senate and a president
politics is the art of the possible. at present, repeal is not possible
That’s not the point. Don’t fund the blasted thing.
it is the point.
another charge by the light brigade into the valley of defunding
would have produced only the death of the fine light cavalry
to engage in a battle knowing going in you will loose is imprudent, even foolish
This year will only see noise and scrambling to meet deadlines imposed by Pelosi.
They are lying.
Obama Veto Assured!
The congress critters remind me of someone who is level headed and chews tobacco, instead of the “tobacco juice” (lies) running out of one side or the other, the lies are coming out the same way, from BOTH sides.
I honestly feel like this boy as he watches the GOPe dance their shenanigans.

I can’t stand most of the Republicans. Not all. Jeff Sessions should be headed to President Trump’s Cabinet.
They’ve funded it more times than once.
We see through the shell game.
It will take Ted Cruz in the White House to finally get this job done. Lord knows Donald “Canadian-style single-payer” Trump won’t.
Most repubs are dishonest asshats. Send them no money, give them none of your time, don’t vote for them. Primary them. Losers. Liars. Criminals. Traitors to their electorate.
No, it’s not the point at all. The “art of the possible” includes defunding. Power of the purse, remember?
