With you on this. Far too many are affected, it can't be just spinelessness.

I hope you are correct, but I am concerned that you are not. If McCain, Murkowski, and Collins had not voted against repeal, three others would have. Probably Lindsey, Flake, and Hatch. But certainly others. Btw I don’t care if I spelled their names correctly or not.

Ok. I’ll grant you that those who voted yes but still say it was a bad bill should get the same treatment. Like Graham. But that is still less than all of them by a wide margin.

We failed to Cantorize Eric Cantor in 2012, but we got him in 2014.

Try, Try Again.

We cannot leave people in office who betray us.

Ryan gave Obama everything he wanted.

McCain has tried to jam amnesty down our throats repeatedly.

Corker, Flake, Hatch, Heller are up in 2018 and should not be given another chance to give away the country.

True to the list. They ran as Rs because they can’t get elected as Ds. They would gladly don a burqa if it would get them the Mohammedan vote. They each swore an oath to God that they had no intention of keeping. Each one a traitor and worthy of our contempt. No respect for us; get none in return.

“But that is still less than all of them by a wide margin.”

They lost that vote by the exact margin of those three that voted against it, all the democrats, (to be expected), the two independents, (which if the GOP had voted to try to stop this damaging insanity and voted so would have made no difference), and the three GOP that voted against it. The problem with getting things done in the federal government vote is that since the start of the Bush administration, it was the first time in over 50 years the conservatives controlled the house, the senate, and the presidency. And any time the liberals controlled one of the three, nothing was accomplished unless it was their idea. So the kink in the armor was pointed out to be just McCain because he had brain cancer. So he’s given a round of applause for being an idiot. The other two never hit the news at any level. And I’;m saying they should, and if they complain, the GOP should cut off their funds.

This vote was a no-brainer. And it certainly was.

I agree with that. I’m just saying that the talking point that the GOP is to blame for this tars a lot of Republicans who remained loyal. It doesn’t help to blame them all.

I’m not making the effort to blame them all. I’m saying until the conservatives stand up on their own feet, and nail every liberal or conservative lie and mislead for what it is, and do not follow up on what they were elected for, they collectively are to blame. If one senator, or congressman, is willing to stand up and tell the truth, I will be the first to vote for, or support if I can’t vote for them, that person who is displaying that he/she is there to treat the voters with the respect and caring of what they were sent there to do. This is not a sport to receive a participation trophy. It is win/lose. And if they don’t get it done or find the culprit to blame for the loss, i.e. doing nothing, then they fall into the famous phrase, “lead, follow, or get out of the way.” And everyone can’t follow nobody.
