When Obama won re-election in 2012, John McCain said "the American people have spoken" in regards to Obamacare, and used the election results to justify shutting down attempts by Cruz, Paul, et al to defund and decimate Obamacare. (As if it was his job to represent the American people)

In 2016, Americans rose up and denounced the whole bullshite DC domination of our lives, and McCain still fights for Obamacare.

On top of that, I just heard him say "we need to sit down and come up with a bill the the American people can support."

Bitch, we already supported getting rid of Obama's policies with an R Senate, House, and President. What the frick else do we have to do?

That too.

But what was one of the two things Trump(and McCain) promised at EVERY rally, appearance, etc?

Get rid of Obamacare.

No, he didn't. Trump ran on replacing Obamacare with something better. He promised not to cut Medicare and Medicaid. Pretty sure he also promised his plan would cover more people and reduce premiums. None of the plans have met Trump's own promises.

There were so many promises...but the one that stands out is how he wanted to nuke ACA on day one and replace it with something even better.

McCain knows his days are numbered and has no restraints.

He, McConnell and Graham have lorded over the Rebuplican side of the aisle for years and thwarted the wishes of the voters every time a wave has put the Republicans in power.

They are the best friends the Progressives and Liberals could have hoped for.

They are traitorous scum and always have been.

When the Democrats get Congressional power, they are united and effective.

When Republicans get Congressional power, we are continually kneecapped by this sniveling triumvirate along with a couple of their purple state RINOs.

This is why the Dems beat us: When the pendulum swings their way, they hold strong and get shite done for their philosophy. When it swings the Repubican way, it is squandered at the hands of these fricking assholes.

Believe all it'd take is some form of viable bill.

More than enough are ready for the change, but after getting the shaft by the ACA, too many are reluctant to just vote another bill in to see what happens. The dumb bastards that voted in a law so long they couldn't read and didn't know what was in to begin with, need to be sent to out pasture, no matter what party (or whom they are).

Of course I'm for universal health care. Has a country ever gone back after implementing it? And go gag on the horror story's about uncle ed's friend from Britain, because there's 5 favorable outcomes for every one of those. Like lambs to the slaughter and lemmings to a cliff, same with this notion that insurance is the only way we can be secure. It's not rocket science, we're simply wasting time trying to reinvent the wheel. It'd be no more socialism, than for the guberment to Rico Law these insurance companies for collusion on premiums and life taking. Go ahead, fill me a bucket of cry baby tears, better than the one your filling now with green backed bills.

This is their language.

Any bill that would follow the wishes of the Republican voters is trashed by these fricks as non-viable so they can sit on their grubby hands.
