Thomas Massie does not mince words. For more than six years, Republicans have promised to repeal Obamacare and after reviewing the long-awaited replacement package for a few hours, the Kentucky libertarian wasn't impressed. Massie thinks "it's a stinking pile of garbage."

I don’t know what is the correct way to go on this. What I do know is, WTF doesn’t the Republicans have this thing ironed out after using the issue as campaign fodder for 8 years? GOP, stands for losing losers from losertown USA>
I can’t talk coming from NY with my two garbage senators, but I was sad to see some folks be primaried and win in other states.
At least my house rep. is a stand up guy :)
Yes!
Rep. Thomas Massie,
Put up a plan.

Washington Times,
Does it take much effort to identify the congressman as D or R? I am not from West Va so I didn’t know.
Everyone might want to consider dropping “speaker” Ryan an e-mail. The rest of the GOPe “leadership” as well. I have.
I hate being right about these things.
Having said that .. it's good to see this kind of reaction from a Kentucky House member. I've said all along that I see Rand Paul as a very, very important player in getting the right bill in order.
If many more districts had done what we did when we Cantorized our weasel and elected Dave Brat we would not have GOP leadership trying to pass off Obamacare Lite as a Republican solution.
Bingo!!! Lyin’ Ryan, McCarthy, McLame, Flake and a few others come to mind.
It’s the UniParty, Jake.
And it appears Trump folded to Ryan and the GOPe.
There is no price for Ryan and the rest to pay. It will land on Trumps head. It is like the Transportation Bill with the Bridge to No Where — Bush wouldn’t stop it and HE paid the price for its passage, not the Congress that wrote it.
Trump better get out of the way — the Bus is coming.
We need to SCREAM at these idiots.
Some hope?
Maybe?
Freedom Caucus Slams ObamaCare Replacement, Promises Clean Repeal
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3532518/posts
Will the GOP really submit a Clean Repeal bill, like they have numerous times when Obama was in office? Fully knowing that it wouldnt get passed? And now, knowing that it will pass, they wont submit it? Very interesting politics from RINOS and GOPe!!
I agree with Massie. Congress is going to have to do a lot better.
The proper bill has long since been crafted. This isn't it.
This thing is a POS. I hope this will cause a revolt against these rinos. Ryan may have done this to screw Trump or he thinks he can force it through because R&R has been promised so he can foist this piece of crap on us.
It appears the “repeal Obamacare” actually means “replace it with something that benefits our peeps instead of the rats”. President Trump appears to be more interested in bending the actual cost of care down with free market reforms - which is a good thing - don’t think he is that interested in the insurance side of it.
Suspect this is the GOPe’s latest attempt to sabotage the President - Ryan’s Revenge. He needs to cut it off at the neck. Two things will derail further GOP gains in 2018 and a Trump reelection in 2020 - 1. Fail to build the wall; 2. Fail to repeal “every word” of Obamacare. Schmuckey Shumer is busy on #1, it appears that the GOPe is in charge of #2.
I sent Greg Walden a nasty gram about their stupidity this morning. I live in his district and I’m tired of their mushheaded economics.
The GOPe is useless.
