Mitch McConnell refuses to pull the plug on stalled Obamacare repeal plan
CNN ^ | July 18, 2017 | MJ Lee and Lauren Fox

It is "pretty clear there are not 50 Republicans at the moment for a replacement," McConnell said at a news conference following an all-GOP Senate lunch. But he still insisted that there would be a repeal-only vote "in the very near future." While the Kentucky Republican did not specify when that vote would be, Senate GOP whip John Cornyn told reporters afterward that the it would likely happen some time this week.

It is pretty clear to me that old Mitch is trying to run out the clock to waste as much time as possible to really gum up the works. It is time for we the taxpayers and real citizens to put some heat to the worthless eunuchs in both the house and senate and try to have a clear way to mark the punch bowl turdbergs for elimination in the next election NO MATTER what it does to the r/d ratio. Some of these folks are not worth the oxygen they are wasting and they need to know if they do not get on board they will be flushed like the offal that they are.

I’m not thrilled with the idea of 16,000 IRS agents with all of a sudden nothing to do.

He needs to fire these degenerate scumbags or they will unleash hell on the working class.

I agree with your post 100%.

I am interested in what offal you would classify them as.

I was going for the specific offal that you had in mind. I consider them porcine anus.

Oops...that's not considered an offal.

But that is what I equate them to.

Other than Gorsuch what’s the majority given us but a ChuckU controlled senate? A liberal is a liberal. Tennessee had two flaming liberal senators and yet the state is very conservative, go figure..,

I was thinking outside the box also- I considered hemorrhoids but they actually have a useful purpose unlike our current crop of neer do wells.

“Pass or fail, they need to get the vote for repeal on record. That goes for both House and Senate.”

Have the Rino’s declare themselves, then Trump, et. al. can go to their home districts and remind the voters, over and over till 11/6/18!

Cornyn has failed miserably as Whip, and if they can’t muster the votes for repeal, he and McConnell are damaged goods and should step down. Face-saving time.

There are 3 against a straight repeal that I’ve heard of.. probably more but they are cowards so we’ll never really know. Rand, less and others would definitely be for a straight repeal

Thanks. If you have kids, you can pay cash for doctor visits, but lab work will be a real burden. If the first test for strep throat is negative, they always do a second culture.

Maybe instead “sunsetting” Obamacare over a three- or four-year period until it’s gone from the face of the earth, and concurrently instituting portability, tort reform and other market-based solutions - also incrementally - should be a consideration. The factor that has so many spun up is the suddenness of wholesale change.

Fist in a velvet glove.

Eff that. It is time for some bare knuckle brawling which I thought our President was soooo good at.

Show me Mr. President, break some wussy liar's jaw.
