[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Marjorie Taylor Greene is great. Wish we had 434 more people like her in the house of representatives.

Laura Loomer proved correct.

Again.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) is not supporting Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) itself, which she has stated she is not a fan of, but she is advocating for the extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies that would prevent a significant increase in health insurance premiums for millions of Americans, including her own adult children.

She expressed frustration that Republican leadership has not provided a plan to address the impending premium hikes, which she claims will double without the tax credits.

That basically would leave these people without healthcare, and some of those people are supporters of the conservative movement too I might add.

Her stance emerged during the October 2025 government shutdown, when Democrats were demanding the extension of these subsidies as a condition for reopening the government.

Greene criticized her own party, calling the situation “shameful, disgusting, and traitorous,” and emphasized the real-world impact on working families in her district and across the country.

While she opposes the principle of Obamacare and health insurance as a “scam,” she insists action must be taken to prevent the financial burden of skyrocketing premiums.

Her comments align with polling showing broad public support, including among MAGA-aligned Republicans, for extending the subsidies.

Thus, her position is driven by constituent impact and political pressure rather than support for the ACA itself.

When the Reublicans get their act together, and realize that they are no longer the country club party, but are instead the party of the people, then perhaps they will actualy come up with legislation that the people support, and if the Democrats refuse to support it, because it eliminates illegals being provided free healthcare, then they do so at their own demise.

This is not about saving the Democrats wiseprince, it is about making the Republicans the party that stays in control.

Is that not what you want?

I sure do. Obamacare is not supported by me either, but I am not for leaving Americans denied access to healthcare, for that will only drive support back to Democrats.

Is that what you want?

Quit listening to those who spew forth BS, and start examining the issues more deeply. When you do that you begin to see the games being played in politics. The Democrats has a great record of capturing the people, until they expsed themselves as being nothing more than having winning talking points, yet they never deliver on their talking points.

Intead, they blame Republicans for them not delivering their promises, when the reality is that they just promise the world to stay in power, with no iontention of delivering. People are finally seeing tha reality.

Do you not want to take back this nation?

The only way that can be accomplished is for Republicans to not only talk about being the party for the people, they have to continue delivering ehat they talk about as well.

That is the secret to Trump's success. He delivers what he campaigned on. In fact, I suspect that Trump stands with MTG. Because it is Cngress that needs to deliver, and then Trump can sign it into law.

Remember when the RINOs kept saying that if they get control, they would replace Obamacare? When it came down to it, they exposed themselves as nothing more than grifters who had no plan to replace Obamacare, even with the years they campaignes on that promise.

No, I stll stand by my comment. MTG is a solid conservative. Sorry that you disagree, but then again you are looking at it from the wrong angle. When you replace something, it must be better, it cannot be replaced whle leaving citizens in a lurch, if you want to stay in power and make America Great Again, MTG is being real. She iss not abansoning the conservative movement.

Driving a wedge is how they get conservatives fighting against each other. Begin to start seeing the games being played, for the sole purpose of sowing chaos within the conservative movement which wealens thie movement.

So dp not let them capture you in that, for that is how they win.

Does that help clear up the issue about her being a rock solid conservative?

[Brilliant]

Is she being primaried? She should be.

BTW, as an addeumn the source of this article should have been a clue. Always take the source into account when you think about what you are reading. It will help as well to undestand what the real objective is with an article.

[Robert DeLong]

Okay, but that still doen't pass the smell test either, because of her age. I still contend that the sole purpose was to make her look worse than she is. She is a true concervative. You can read my response tthat I just posted that will most likely be driectly aboce this response.

She is a solid conservative, regardless of what you presume she misght have been, because it what she is now.

[Robert DeLong]

Or perhaps you should follow your own advice to me. Sorry, but you will not shut me up.

[shelterguy]

“””Sorry, but you will not shut me up.”””

I don’t intend to. Feel free to ramble on about anything you want.

[Teacher317]

She's over the top, but sometimes she's hitting the mark well...

unfortunately, that encourages her to go even farther, and louder, and that's when she starts missing the mark completely. She's both an asset and a liability, and all she seems to want most is the attention, be it positive or negative.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

See, I disagree that she’s a “solid conservative”. I think she’s a populist. Not the same thing at all. The ACA subsidies are the giveaway. She’d have been a pro-union, pro-”working class” Democrat in the 70’s.

[OldGoatCPO]

Just asking, where is the money for the subsidies coming from? Interest on our debt is now over 1 trillion dollars. Rock solid conservative my a$$. Subsidies are my tax dollars paying for your medical bills. When did that become “conservative?”

Where is her bill to extend them? She is also aware that the CR still funded them until November during which time they could have negotiated for and voted on her bill to reform the ACA. Oh wait, she has presented no alternative bill to vote on. Nor has she he suggested any possible compromise. So by definition she is nothing more than an opportunistic bombing thrower. She is undercutting her party and any potential compromise. From what I have read she is on the outs with Trump. She is as conservative and loyal as Cheney and using the same playbook. I suspect she will eventually go the same route as Cheney. Congress is full of Bozos she is just a GOP Bozo.
