CSPAN ^ | 07/26/2017 | CSPAN 2

Posted on 07/26/2017 12:51:07 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Democrats waived the point of order, so only 50 votes are needed, not 60. They are that convinced that it will fail.

***Trump is smoking out the enemy. These haters of liberty think we will forget. We won’t.***

How? He wanted it replaced. Most of us didn’t. We already new these traitors were never going to vote for repeal, and anyone who did believe it was living in a fantasy land.

[ GOP motto: When the going gets tough, we don’t even try.]

GOPe motto: As loyal opposition / cucks we only pass bills that we know of for sure will be vetoed by a Democrat president so we can keep fooling the rubes back in our state to vote for us.

What Republicans call “clean repeal” is in reality an amendment to ACA.

Repeal is simple:

“Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.”

The communist Republicans WILL NOT DO IT. THEY’RE LYING BACKSTABBING BASTARDS.

3rd party anyone?

Oh no we can’t do that. We’ve got to cling to the sorry ass Republicans.

How’s that working out? If this doesn’t make us realize Conservatives can’t win in the Republican Party, nothing will.

[ It’s time for Trump to force Congress and staff to live under Obamacare. Who cares if they don’t like it - it will just prove the point that no one wants it.

Absolutely! In addition, Obama gave out over 1,000 waivers to his friends and supporters. Here’s a partial list of beneficiaries of Obama’s “generosity”:

Can all exemptions and waivers be eliminated via Executive Order? ]

The fact that such waivers were handed out for political cronies should give everyone chills...

Imagine the literal SHITSTORM on CNN/MSNBC/MSM if a Republican president started handing out waivers for capital gains taxes...

The Tennessee GOP always makes sure that if one conservative runs in a primary, that they flood the choices with real and fake conservatives until their choice has the only chance to win.

[McCain has obviously decided that he is going scorched earth on Trump]

MCCAIN’S hatred towards PRESIDENT TRUMP will supersede any accomplishment he had in his military and legislative careers.

RINO voters are a regional phenomenon. There are few conservatives in urban Maine, any more than there are in LA or New York City, and those up in the backwoods may not even vote. So you have Susan Collins. Urban coastal regions tend to be liberal. Rural and suburban regions tend to be conservative.

2018- HELLER

2020- CAPITO
2020- ALEXANDER
2020- COLLINS

2022- McCAIN
2022- MURKOWSKI
2022- PORTMAN


Therein lies the answer...the ones who aren’t up for re-election until 2020 - 2022 (w/exception of goofball Heller), took the hit for this vote, in order for the globalist/Big 0CommieCare $$$$ kickbacks doled out, for all of them.

Disgusting!!

Sorry folks health care became an entitlement, that happened in stages over many decades, beginning with Medicare in the 1960s and continuing to ObamaCare. Voters want federally subsidized health care and they want someone else to pay for it. Over the past 20 years, health-care costs have mushroomed while median family income has barely budged. People who once could afford it can't and they want welfare.

The voters meant they didn't like the taxes or mandates but they didn’t mean that anyone should touch their coverage.

The entitlement mind-set has been taking root for two generations now.

These Senators are just following the voters, and the Democrats know this.

Yes. I have been to Maine. There are RINO politicians because of RINO and liberal voters. Collins is simply representing her liberal constituents. Our challenge is much deeper than complaining about politicians. We must educate and persuade voters and only then will they elect more conservative politicians.

Collins is the only one who voted no when it came up under Obama. All the rest of the no votes are liars and their voters need to remember this next time they come up for election.

This vote puts them on the record... They can’t run away from it now.

If the US economy starts building steam, the urban paradigm will change radically. No more welfare as a way of life. No more unemployment as a career option. Instead, cities will be a place where there are jobs and people from the country go to better themselves. That will persuade voters more than a dozen talk radio hosts.
