Yes, why elect RINOS? But many of us here have been saying that since 1998.

...and there you are. This singe thing shows that we have one party of apparatchiks who go to the same schools, generally believe the same things on abortion, drug use, infidelity, lying to the public, enriching themselves on the public payroll, and all the other social questions that our society has to determine who is “conservative” or “liberal”.

Whoever goes into politics has no skills or work ethic that would be successful in the private sector. They are stupid, lazy, undisciplined, and needing the adulation of others in order to live their pathetic lives.

If you seriously listen and look at the “leaders” in our legislative and past executive branches of government and consider what they would look like in your corporation or the management of your businesses..... you’d fire them or hand them a mop and say, “get to it”.

That’s why they hate Trump. He doesn’t understand the “game”. He actually believes that you are supposed to “do a job” and finish it. Once the scam is realized by the public then the jig is up.

The best is when the government “shuts down”. The uniparty does as much as possible to make the public suffer but still manages to pay the bloated staff and buy expensive baubles for themselves.

We should vote every politician out after one term, disband all government unions and make our precious leaders serve prison time like we would for lying to the feds, driving drunk, sexually assaulting staff, skimming money from campaign funds and failing to pay taxes.

Could you imagine what would happen to us or any other citizen of DC who wasn’t a Kennedy if they got in a car wreck while high on drugs and drunk near the capital. How about being like Rangel and just not pay your taxes? Lying to congress or the FBI like Stephanopoulos and the rest of the Clinton, Obama, Bush bureaucrats did and do.

Look at what they do and not at what they say. I’d vote for my garbage man instead of the clowns now in office, because just MAYBE a small amount of idealism and conscience survives in his mind to try to do the right thing.

We are screwed.

They put themselves in a no win by failing to repeal the damn thing.
Without subsidies more and more markets will have no options other than Medicaid... which is girecrly funded by the gubment anyway.

So either way tax money is going to be spent for these people as the system collapses under its own weight.

So the simple economic calculation is will more people on Medicaid be more costly to the government than subsidies to the insurers on the marketplace.

Not to mention I am sure these insurance companies have fattened the wallets and reelection campaigns of most of D.C.

If you want Obamacare repealed we need to hold the house and take more of the senate.

The latter is almost a given, but after watching the messaging in the PA-18 race, unless the GOP wakes up big time and understands 2016 they will lose the house.

If the Breitbart link listed below is the one you are referring to, it states that the $30 billion Obamacare “bailout” could be injected into the “omnibus” bill at any time without publication of the text of the bill in advance, and that “Senate Democrats seem to be calling most of the shots”...not exactly “debunked”. I guess we have to look for the text of the “omnibus” bill at the last minute before the vote...the usual horrible government tactics again!

http://www.weeklystandard.com/lawmakers-await-release-of-spending-bill-as-shutdown-looms/article/2012004

A lot of GOP promises being broken: “We will ensure that bills are debated and discussed in the public square by publishing the text online for at least three days before coming up for a vote in the House of Representatives.”
and
“We offer a plan to repeal and replace the government takeover of health care with common sense solutions focused on lowering costs and protecting American jobs. “
