There are always exceptions for the pigs.
Just because.

That is so wrong.

End the exemption for Congress. Of all the people to exempt from healthcare, you exempt the ones who PASSED IT?

End the exemption. Then while you’re at it, come up with something to replace the entire thing.

Now.

Yes, after all, they are the ruling class. They think, what is good for thee, is not good for me.

What about MY exemption? Lightning would strike if the MSM would just ask Obama or members of Congress, why does insert special interest group get an exemption?

Because they ALWAYS pass laws for their lessors
(suckers previous called ‘constituents’)
from which THEY, and their lucky families and staff
(and select servants from their brothels),
are EXEMPT.

The French knew how to handle this.

...Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, aided by some Republicans, has done everything he can to make sure there will be no vote....

This makes me so damned mad. The GOP is pathetic.

Because they are just like us when convenient, and a special class of people whenever that is more convenient /sarc

There is no constitutional authority for any of this. All these side battles are simply distractions. The house can deny funding for obamacare and it’s over. Nothing Reid and Obama can do about it. Same with the debt limit. The house and the house alone can deny funding, deny tax increases and deny borrowing. If they do not pass bills authorizing it, it cannot become law.

I'm surprised Americans go for this. Millions ought to march on Warshington, up the steps of the capitol, overwhelm the security checkpoints and into the halls.

Out-freakin-rageous congress would exempt themselves from this law. Total in your face arrogance.

Congressional staffers are paid well. But they want to be subsidized or they’ll quit. Sure, they will.

“There has been a lot of pushback behind the scenes, including from many Republicans,” he says

Name them. We need to know who the RINO’s are and expose them.

It’s the law, Obama ran on it and the Supreme court upheld it.

Their constituents are getting about fed up with the view from under the short bus.
