30 guys can’t elect a Speaker against 200+ RINOs.
Why has Free Republic become the RINO cheering section?
Mo Brooks has a repeal bill and the Uniparty eunuchs won’t let it come to the floor.
The purpose of Ryancare was to preserve as much of Obamacare as possible because of the enormous power Fedzilla derives from controlling all health care decisions and medical records.
Fedzilla has no business with my medical records.
Yay HFC!!! Obamacare for life!!! Thank you!!! I can’t wait for them to sabotage tax reform. So much winning!
Do I need the /sarc tag?
Yeah?
Replace Justin Amash with Paul Ryan in that quote and you’d be right on the money. No Republican congressman worked harder to get Hilary Clinton elected than Paul Ryan. The same Paul Ryan who again weaseled out and tried to give us Obamacare lite, aka Ryancare.
They could have still voted against him. OR one of them could have run against Ryan. They had the 'freedom' to do any number of things. They stopped this bill from coming to a vote... I think their little 'pact' to stand together stripped them of their 'individual' conservative freedom...
I have nothing against 'Dave Brat', per se... however, he should have never teamed up with this caucus that stripped him of his individual freedom to vote. Once that pact was made he lost his individuality and strength to speak freely.
In the first election after they forced out Boehner they tried to get an alternative and the RINOs prevented it.
In the second they were trying to be the team players that everyone is now screaming for them to be.
They also would have been subject to punitive measures like stripping of committee assignments where they could do some good.
We need more conservatives in Congress, not less.
We did have it worse before - Bush I and Bush II
One GREAT example of perfect being the enemy of good? for your mind to ponder
That turkey from MI is a member of this caucus and there is nothing ‘conservative’ about him... Sanford, conservative? It only takes one bad apple to spoil the barrel.
Spraining trash like this "stripped him of his individual freedom to vote
, just goes to prove that most on this site are no longer able to think
hahahah. Trump ran against 90% of Congress. The fact that he’s still against them isn’t going to make him a one term President. In any event, if he is, that’s more terms than Meadows, McCain, Flake, Romney and Rand. Maybe in 2020 we can start moving back towards globalism and climate change because Trump is trying to get members of the FC to think for themselves and not as a “Community” of people (ironic).
Yeah, I don’t get why Trump is siding with Ryan to demonize a group who vote on principle?
Indeed, why not put that energy to going after McCain, a real RINO who hates Trump?

Really?
Mo Brook’s bill was blocked by the Uniparty?
Did the Freedom Caucus give that bill a unanimous 30 votes?
No?
WHY NOT?
To start the “bill” rolling, you need to VOTE!
I’m sorry, but the HFC is starting to sound like a bunch of blame-shifting Democrats.
Enough BS! If the HFC can’t deliver unanimous consent to the bill they “claim” they want, we are truly “lost”,,,
‘30 guys can’t elect a Speaker against 200+ RINOs.

You keep posting this, pushing the idea that the FC members were helpless bustanders. I have explained to you already that this is not true. Ryan demanded the FC’s support as a condition for becoming Speaker. They were not dragged kicking and screaming to support him; they gave him a super-majority, along with several enthusiastic endorsements, expressed publicly by individual members.
They can’t vote on something that the Uniparty eunuchs won’t let come to the floor.
“But fact is, except for a couple rough spots, the system of payments for medical services delivered as it existed in early 2009 was probably the most equable in the world...”
I paid for healthcare with cash. The quacks and the thieving hospitals consistently charged me 300% to 400% more than the insured paid. Nothing equitable about that. These pirates expected me to sign a blank check, hand it over and they’d fill in the amount later.
Then try to sue these bastards for over-billing, double-billing and other illegal charges. Right. The shysters refused to take my case unless I paid them $10,000 up front.
Healhcare has been broken for years. Insurance does nothing more than hide the true cost of healthcare. Insurance companies, hospitals, quacks - they’re number one goal is to rip off the consumer, and they work together to carry out the thievery. Period.
