GOP to Block the Repeal of Obamacare by Stalling
The Daily Westerner ^ | 1/27/2017 | Staff

Posted on 01/28/2017 4:13:40 AM PST by HomerBohn

Remember it’s a dual monarchy — it’s an illusion that two parties in both the House and Senate actually exist

With just one day away from the Republicans self-imposed deadline to repeal botched Obamacare legislation, we can see that the GOP has no intention of achieving anything in favor of Trump, as both the Democrats and Republicans are wrapped up by the powers-that-be just as Intellihub has reported for years.

With high-paid talking heads like Rush Limbaugh claiming that the two party system actually exists, it’s hard for narrow-minded members of the general public to figure out the true pyramid scheme which is essentially the fact that the two party system does not exist and is nothing more than a dual monarchy. Essentially they are all wrapped up — both Democrats and Republicans are two peas

Essentially they are all wrapped up. Both Democrats and Republicans are two peas of the same pod per se. And to think, El Rushbo claims he is the smartest man on talk radio, yet he has no clue of this preplanned obvious singular dichotomy. What a joke. I am calling out El Rusbo here and now as a shill, and that’s all he has ever been. The man knows nothing and wants his listeners to believe that a two-party system actually exists.

You see, four committees in the GOP-controlled House and Senate were supposed to “deliver proposals by Jan. 27 to roll back major tenets of the 2010 health-care law,” according to the Wall Street Journal. But with no consequences, the Friday deadline will be missed by the GOP purposefully, making it tough for President Trump to get anything done without the use of executive orders. This is all by design. And if Trump keeps signing executive orders the mainline press will hammer him, likely by pushing the narrative that he is a dictator of sorts. This is what they want, as they can use this to their advantage to further carry out the elite’s actual agenda, which seems to still be on track. After all, Barack Obama is staying in Washington for no reason. So let’s be clear — the shadow government is likely in full effect.

The Wall Street Journal also reports:

In addition, the GOP strategy has shifted after a sizable group of Republicans balked at repealing the health care law without having a replacement in hand.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants to repeal and replace the law at effectively the same time. To make that happen, lawmakers are accelerating the development of the replacement plan — and slowing down the law’s repeal.

Now lawmakers, like Sen. Lamar Alexander (R, Tenn.), are holding up the repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act in an effort to block it. “[…] we don’t want any of the repeal to take effect until there are concrete, practical alternatives in place.,” Alexander said, using the concept of replacement as an excuse to get nothing done which will likely delay the process for another year or so, despite Rep. Diane Black’s (R., Tenn.) claim that the repeal will likely pass the house by the end of the first quarter.

Yeah, I see a lot of Rush bashing going on in a lot of circles. I listen to him every day, and he’s pretty much always a straight shooter, in my mind.

I have been saying from Day One since the Promise to repeal Obamacare tat it will NEVER HAPPEN. They are proving me right.

There is ONLY ONE WAY to end Obamacare and that is for President Trump to issue an Executive Order Eliminating ALL WAIVERS and Mandating ALL Federal Employees enroll in Obamacare, the money we save on those High Priced Inferior Plans for Government Employees can be diverted to the Wall.

You FORCE CONgress to Live under the Same Laws as Americans and they will Repeal it Overnight with Unanimous Support.

He DID support Trump all along, you could tell by some of his statements. There was NO overt support of any candidate by Rush, however.

Levin has gone to the dark side.

More fake news for the “pearl-clutches” here on FR.

You know who you are. All of the principled conservatives who would rather let the Left win, if you don’t get everything your own way!

You are the main reason the left even exists!

This is another example of FAKE NEWS. It is meant to divide the Republican Party and create chaos among conservatives.

Since when is it news that a senate or house committee has missed a deadline? It would be news if they didn't...

Rush now makes it sound as if he supported Trump all along. The worst one is Levin, he lies about what Trump is doing, so I’ve turned him off.

I moved from Los Angeles to Charlotte, NC, 18 months ago and was shocked to find how limited radio is here. I'm used to a wide smorgasbord of radio stations, four talk radio. In Charlotte there are two, but both only carry political talk shows part time. This actually has turned out to be a blessing since I had been getting more and more irritated with talk radio.

Rush and Levin are not our enemies. The enemies are the NYTimes, ABC,NBC,CNN,CBS, the AP, etc.

You're right. AND anyone who thinks Chuck Schumer's party is the same as Donald Trump's party is also an idiot.

I'm glad President Trump is moving so quickly. So many of these bottom-feeders were never true conservatives. They just said and did stuff to get elected.

Remember back when they wanted us to believe that they weren't fighting Obamacare because they wanted to use it as a campaign issue? Well, now we know. They had NO intention of cutting off their buddies in insurance and other business from Obamacare profiteering.

Here’s the thing. Obama signed a LOT of Executive Orders.

For every one of Obama’s EOs, Trump will need to issue an
Executive Orders in order to countermand it.

Ergo, Trump will be issuing a LOT of Executive Orders just
to get back to “normal”!

Trump has only been in office a week.

Obamacare is going to get repealed.

Thank the lying old media for they have convinced people of the sameness of demrats and Republicans, along with the sameness of the new media and the old. It is an ancient divide and conquer technique.

“There was NO overt support of any candidate by Rush, however.”

You don’t remember his worship of Ted Cruz? “Ted Cruz never lies. Ted Cruz is a consistent conservative. Ted Cruz is the most conservative leader we will ever see in our lifetime. Ted Cruz is Ronald Reagan. Ted Cruz is noble.” And don’t forget he would turn his show over to callers who slammed Trump and let them talk endlessly. And just before the South Carolina primary, he labeled Rubio a “full-throated” conservative.

Cruz’s strategy was to win Iowa, sit out New Hampshire, win South Carolina, so he could seem to develop momentum and roll up the South in Super Tuesday with his religious jive talk.

Yes, and there are free market ways to do so.

Obamacare has to be repealed, it is going to collapse anyway.

I don’t remember the details, but starting about 7 years ago there was a purge of available talk radio options across NC.

In the Triad area, stations like WSJS and FM 101.1 dumped popular hosts for lukewarm spittle known as sports talk. 101.1 then went under.

Levin, gone
Jason Lewis, gone (but then also left radio)
Savage, gone

WPTI srill offers Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity, but doesn’t have any firebrands.

I upgraded to unlimited data and now stream Savage, Howie Carr, and others through the phone.

That’s what is supposed to happen. You repeal and replace as close to the same day as possible. The advantage of that is you won’t have democrat foot dragging. It’s known that Obamacare is a disaster headed toward a cliff. If the Dems don’t help they get the total blame for disaster

I’ll hold his wrist if he gets tired!!

The man is single handedly saving the country!!!

God Bless America.

Expect riots and protests for four years but who cares?

The left forgets that over SIXTY MILLION people voted for him.

And they are all happy right now.
