re: McConnell: Next step is a straight repeal vote

quote:

Good, repeal it. Once repealed, the democrats lose the talking point about "fixing" Obamacare. They either deal on a simple market based plan or be seen as obstructionist

Well stated - far better than I have attempted.

With two year deadline.

Meh.

So political.

We did it. Check back in two years to find out if you can afford the new deductibles in your region.

The funny part is that a straight repeal would require Democratic votes to pass the Senate.

But as conservatives will remind them, most of them already voted for straight repeal in 2015 — and it will be hard to explain why they wouldn't do it again.

Because they knew it would never go anywhere. It was all for show.

fricking assholes.

McConnell needs to go. He's living in 1917, with his precious Senate rules and decorum, and his sense of noblesse oblige. All of the Republican Leadership needs to go.

It is difficult to discern what is meant by this, if this is indeed what was said.

I immensely enjoy Presidential history and came upon this statement recently:

quote:

---

By the Constitution it is made my duty either to approve the bill by signing it or to return it with my objections to the House in which it originated. I can not conscientiously give it my approval, and I proceed to discharge the duty required of me by the Constitution--to give my reasons for disapproving.
~From John Tyler's 1841 address to the Senate upon vetoing a banking bill

He continued, using constitutional articles to outline his various objections and offered guidance on what would be constitutionally acceptable. Tyler was so serious in discharging the constitutional duties of the office, he was willing to be disowned and put out of his own party (Whigs) and suffer the humiliation of nearly his entire cabinet resigning.

Relatively speaking, I too might question presidential seriousness.

It was just reported they think they have 51 votes to repeal, so how many do they need? Is it 50, with VP for 51?

A straight repeal is what weve wanted all along you old turtle fart

It is not going to get repealed. This is what happens with entitlements. They are impossible to take away.

This is correct. This is why Obamacare, IMO, was pretty evil to begin with.

Now the Republicant's are the ones who have to fix it. The same Republicant's who are too afraid to fight anyone not named Trump.

Obama, the Dems, and the MSM knew what they were doing in 2009 when they shoved this abortion down everyone's throats.

What a sick situation.

Well there is that thing called the nuclear option...
