thefederalist.com ^ | AUGUST 12, 2017

Republican Sen. Dean Heller said Friday that he’s “pleased” the Republican effort to repeal portions of Obamacare ultimately failed.

“I feel real pleased at the way this thing turned out and we’re turning the page now to tax reform” the Nevada senator told a local CNN affiliate, KRNV, of the failed Obamacare repeal bill.

Has anyone taken a close, very close look at Mister Heller’s finances? It might bear a thorough look-see, even after he’s primaried into civilian-hood, n’est ce pas?

Political suicide?

We already know the Republican party is a closet Obamacare supporter, but to come out publicly?

Thinking this is another case of a politician believing the fake media and their fake polls.

Office of Personnel Management - 78 Fed. Reg. 60653-01 and Section 1312(d)(3)(D)

[] Buried in the law’s 2,000-plus pages was Section 1312(d)(3)(D), which requires members and their staffs to leave behind their generous Federal Employee Health Benefits Program health plans and instead purchase their health insurance directly through the ObamaCare exchanges, without benefit of an employer subsidy. That requirement, like the individual and employer mandates, would kick in on January 1, 2014.

[] OBAMA directed the Office of Personnel Management to issue a rule – now codified as 78 Fed. Reg. 60653-01 – declaring Congress itself a small business (!), the necessary subterfuge to set them up for the kicker: Because Congress was deemed a “small business,” “the DC Health Link Small Business Market administered by the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority is the appropriate SHOP from which Members of Congress and designated congressional staff will purchase health insurance in order to receive a Government contribution.”

And here in Nevada I and everybody I know will be very pleased to see him out of office next year. Even if that means voting for a Democrat. Can’t be much worse than Heller.

I live in Nevada, and I think that the majority of U.S. senators and representatives, who run, next year, should lose. They should support repealing Obamacare, cutting spending, cutting tax rates, and building the wall, on the Mexican border. All congressmen, who disagree, should lose. The Republicans, who disagree, should lose their primaries.>>> i agree but keep in mind the Mueller coup is designed to prevent any moral person from running for office. without which we have no republic.

Yes, I agree. Trump makes lots of promises and threats and we seem to be gaining a growing list of those that he has failed to act on. I’m tired of people saying what they’re going to do but never actually doing. Talk is not enough, we need action.

The arrogance of elitists is the same throughout the history of the ages. Prayerfully their comeuppance will come with haste.

Another list with more exemptions:

Funny had of the mind-controllers...This image was on Reddit, but the censors have blotted that link from the site.

Reminds me of Men in Black.

From the Wall Street Journal article about Dean Heller in 2012 and his run for Senate:

Heller opposes the 2010 health care reform bill, arguing it amounted to government intrusion that would limit health care access, harm small businesses and cut benefits to seniors. After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law as constitutional in June 2012, Heller pledged to work for its repeal.

In which city do you live? I live in Las Vegas, and I met Danny Tarkanian in July. He’s considering hiring me for his campaign.

........agree, but I think by simply saying ALL the message gains for more traction and attention ergo it is likely to gather much more attention and ultimately be much more successful.............

Yes their are a few worth keeping I just don’t want to reduce the impact of the memory retention aspects of the bumper sticker message.
