I guess it’s not awful enough for these asshats.

For Cruz and Lee, it seems that they are looking to completely get rid of the Obamacare ban on benefit caps, which the Senate bill doesn’t do

And these are the more evil of the Republicans. Where are the “moderates?”

Make that 6: Collins and Murkowski have both previously announced that they would not vote for any repeal bill that defunds planned parenthood.

Gee, maybe my call to Cruz’s office had an effect! Nah.

And to those who’d rather not die because their Senators are stupid, make sure to flood their offices and remind them that all it takes is for a lot of people staying home to fire them.

I promise you each and every one of them is voting for this bill. Just some time to preen for the cameras first.

Bullshit

They will cave and vote for it after being bought off with provisions to make it even worse (which they think make it better).

Hiding in the bushes. (Move over, please, Mr. Spicer.)

Doesn’t kill poor folks fast enough, one might make it into Donald’s house!

“As Written” = kabuki theater for the cameras.

They’ve already been called out for offering up some mealy mouthed joke amendments that do nothing to change the meat of this tax cut bill. It doesn’t matter.

Death Panels have been established, and it sure as shit wasn’t by the Dems.

The fix is already in, just like in the house. At first they’ll express anger and frustration and then you’ll have them come forth with their “concerns.” Some tweaks will be made here and there and then they’ll reluctantly come on board. So much for the “Jimmy Kimmel test.” This is a done deal. It wouldn’t have made it this far if it weren’t.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think I am.

Cruz: “This legislation does not go far enough in killing ‘the poors.’”

“Exactamundo” (That is a ridiculous word, I know). The Dems asked for one hour of debate per amendment offered, but the GOP declined. Therefore, they will propose and pass a few minor amendments and all of the Rebpublican senators will then get on board.

Sorry, I just said the same thing - we must have been typing at the same time.

Exactly. It is not cruel enough is right!
