‘GOPcare’ and the self-destructing Republican Party
The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, March 8, 2017 | Judson Phillips

Democrats probably aren’t bright enough to remember the old maxim, “When your enemy is self-destructing, don’t get in their way.”

If they are, then they should be dancing in the halls of the Party of Treason, otherwise known as the Democrat National Committee Headquarters.

On Tuesday, the Republicans announced their self-destruction plan. It is called the American Health Care Act. For six years, Republicans have promised repeatedly if they were ever back in power, they would repeal Obamacare. Unfortunately, instead of keeping their promises, they decided they liked big government. After all, only the Republicans can make the trains run on time, right?

Thomas Massie, the great congressman from Kentucky called the new GOPcare bill, “a stinking pile of garbage.” The congressman understates his case.

Says the not-Trump supporter.

Trump is the president now. Nor Cruz.

“Thomas Massie, the great congressman from Kentucky called the new GOPcare bill, a stinking pile of garbage.”

That attack was from the left.

Kentucky has a Medicaid expansion problem and Massie wants the whole country to pay their bill.

“a stinking pile of garbage.”

Not sure what you are referring to but “When your enemy is self-destructing, don’t get in their way.”

...Is what I am referring to. If they are so dumb as to not see what will take them down then I give up. I’m about to turn 63 and i have had a triple bypass and about to say I don’t give a crap any more ‘cause I won’t be here when the sh!t hits the fan. If you can’t win when you have all the trump cards then I don’t know what I have been fighting for.

I am actually someone that obamacare has worked for....low income and able to take advantage of the tax credits to pay for what would be outrageous payments that would otherwise be unaffordable to any normal person.

I want obamacare to be REPEALED whether or not it is replaced and even if I can’t afford to buy insurance because the notion that I have to buy a private commodity as a price of citizenry is so offensive to me that I will go uninsured if necessary. I want the choice. THAT is what is American.

REPEAL the freakn’ thing! That’s what was promised. I HATE the GOPe! McCain, Ryan, O’Conell..and all the rest of them!

We have the majority so DO IT!

We were assured Obamacare would be repealed.
There was nothing said about calling it into the wings, dressing it up in a different costume, then pushing it back on stage.
I don’t trust Ryan. Forget “comprehensive free health care reform”. President Trump should prioritize working to have him replaced.

They just need to add Comprehensive to the title.
Comprehensive American Health Care Act
CAHCA

Only three of Wisconsin’s reps voted for Obamacare, two were Democrats. Ryan joined them in voting ‘Yes’.
Only three Wisconsin reps voted ‘No’ on H.R. 2: to repeal it, and again Ryan was one of them.
He’s a mole.

Without a total repeal first, it will fail.

Putting the nation first is such a novel idea to these elected assholes.

interesting alternative.

(would probably make 2018 more interesting than an off year election ordinarily would be?)

Is it any better than the Barack Obama Health Initiative Care Act?

Is there any thing worse than powerless conservatives that relish dying in the flames over a safe America?
