Upton is not even a convincing liar.
upton - idiot
Me thinks Upton will be the topic of discussion come about 12:00 Noon Eastern time come Monday, just a hunch.
Actually the only good thing about it is completely unintentional on Upton’s part.
If the democrats in the senate don’t kill it, Obama will.
Won’t Obama just veto this? And doesn’t it help give cover to House Dems?
If Upton were not the author of such idiotic legislation as the bill banning incandescent light bulbs, then he’d be worth giving the benefit of a doubt where his intellect and competence is concerned.
Upton’s bill is unconstitutional
Obamacare is unconstitutional
Is anything going on up there that isn’t constitutional?
Upton is a zombie pallbearer for the dead Republican party.
Just what did Upton accomplish?
Fred give us back our light bulb technology choices, you Stateist.
Upton. That name strikes a bell somehow. Wasn’t he the one who spearheaded the bill to abolish the selling of incandescent light bulbs?
So, he thinks he’ll get his 15 minutes of fame. He’s what, a 5th place show horse?
You tell them that they are @ss-out thanks to the rules in Barrycare's that the insurance companies are mandated to follow
That’s not what we ought to be doing.
That's EXACTLY what you should be doing, and threaten to impeach Obama for breaking his own law. No Republican voted for this Upton, why do you want to salvage it?
We ought to be thinking about those people.
We are thinking about them, you nimrod. They have been in the news since Oct 1.
The other thing is I’m just looking at the headlines today, Hugh....
Typical beltway, establishment hack Republican taking solace in media headlines rather than fighting.
This clown is a Grade-A idiot, just a shining example of why I can't stand the Stupid Party. I can't wait for Rush to tear him a new #2 on Monday.
Hello, Nanny State. "We ought to be thinking about those people who can't think (and act) for themselves." He's the same as liberal Dems, only in slightly milder form. These freaking power-hungry bastards in Congress and media need to be humbled. It will happen, eventually.
Fred, no; Kate, yes.
Rush is a blowhard. He effectively shot down the candidacies of everybody except Romney in the last election - and then I remember how he almost broke down in tears when he described Romney and his wife walking out together somewhere and how they looked like “such decent Americans” (sorry, Rush, Romney always looked and sounded like a plastic man with no values) - because it made him feel powerful to be able to do it.
Rush has never run for office, never held a job outside of media, and while he’s sometimes good, he’s just what any media person is: all about himself.
Why we have let Rush Limbaugh call the shots, I do not know. He’s almost never right, he thinks it’s all a joke, and in fact I think his “Operation Chaos” was actually indirectly responsible for bringing us Obama.
I’m sick of repubs bitching about Uptons bill - it effectively completely repeals Obamacare for 1 year (allowing everyone to buy non-Exchange plans), and is a bill that would stand a good chance of continually getting reupped as the law disintegrates. Plus, as Dems have been screaming, it will throw a wrench into the risk pool on the exchange, where all the sick would go and everyone heathy would avoid. As an added bonus it has the Dems screaming “Repubs should help us fix this” stuck trying to explain how this isn’t a fix despite many Dems, including the Pres, offering similar
The bill is freakin awesome and Repubs complaining are kind of doing exactly what Dems accuse them of - hating anything Obamacare related just because it’s Obamacare related
Obamacare: The Stool Sample Act
You have to pass it before you can see what’s in it.
The Republican establishment is carrying the water for the big multinational corporations and Wall Street banks who want single payer federal government controlled medical care as fast as they can get it. It is all about money. The big corporations will save billions by eliminating the cost of employee health care premiums from their income statements.
McConnell, Boehner, Romney, Upton, and the rest are willing collaborators with the statist socialists.
What exactly has he done?
Nothing, and he's bragging about the number of votes it got.
And he's saying how much better he is than the shutdown.
