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.

HEY A-HOLE!

The alternative is:

The carriers go back to selling health insurance like they did before.

It is up to us to clear the swamp in congress. Rush is a paid lobbiest for certain powerful congressmen. I quit listening to him when he jumped on W’s bandwagon about 9 months before the primaries. He is a powerful voice and President Trump was wise to stay clear of him.

They’ve had 6 years to formulate a replacement, and they’ve done nothing.

REMOVE and REPLACE or just REMOVE this monstrosity NOW!

> the health care system that was intact before Obamacare was not so bad

The Democrat strategy:

The strategy was developed by Robert Creamer while in prison for bank fraud. He published it in his book "Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win" (see page 545).

"To win we must not just generate understanding, but emotion—fear, revulsion, anger, disgust" says Creamer.

The below is correct. You want the replacement plan in place ie passed by Congress and signed by POTUS before you dismantle Ocare. You need (60 votes = Dem senators) to pass the replacement plan to get to a floor vote. Those have to come from Dem Senators in Red states. And their constituents need to hammer them into voting for the replace plan. Won’t be easy but less painful than repealing w/o a replace plan and the parade of “hurt” citizens the Dems will lineup to tell how they have been wronged. It should be called “Replace and Repeal”. In fact, a good course, could be pass and sign into law the Replace Plan, do not repeal ACA, so those “hurt” citizens can stay on ACA, if they so desire or can no longer afford.

Makes perfect sense to those of us who have a working relationship with complex planning.”

Very well stated. Wish I’d been that articulate in expressing that thought.

It’s disgusting to witness Republicans clamor how best to implement communists’ plans. They are astonishingly bereft of ideas or principles.

Yes, the Republicans can embrace communism in some of their ideals are but clueless on its implementation.

But of course, the best implementation of communism will fail. So at best, the GOP will come up with another tidy way to make things worse.

I seem to remember reading somewhere on FR that someone from one of the southern states had put together a detailed new plan and it was ready to go. This person was a former doctor and now was in a political position. Governor? Congressman? I can’t remember what it was. We wouldn’t hear repeal and replace at the same time if it wasn’t already set to go. Anyone else remember this?

Rush now makes it sound as if he supported Trump all along.

Rush never endorses in the primary. Saying that clearly he preferred Cruz, even Rubio and he treated Trump supporters pretty shabby when they called in.

Rush did try to point other candidates to the reasons Trump was so popular in the hope, I think, that they would follow suit and lead the charge, they didn't, they lost.

I upgraded to unlimited data

What carrier actually has unlimited data? I had the original unlimited data with AT&T but it certainly wasn't unlimited usable data. You never got a bill for going over because you actually couldn't go over when they throttled you down to txt message speed.

Incidentally Levin is now offering a week's free trial of his television program, an opportunity you can take to actually find out the truth about the matter, or you can simply turn away from the suggestion with some snide remark and remain ignorant.

I subscribed to Levin before he went on air with the early signup discount. I can rarely get through a show because I can't get past the insults that always follow the praise.

What we are seeing is the slow but steady evolution of the presidency into a dictatorship IMHO.

Have you been asleep for eight years?
