These clowns were so intent on appealing to the hard-right faction, who apparently operate under the bizarre assumption that Americans donât want access to cheaper health insurance and loved the old system where insurance companies would deny coverage to someone who needs it, made their own bed with their ongoing assault on the ACA.
McCarthy is one of the dimmer bulbs in the GOP - and thatâs saying something given the general dimwittery of The Stupid Party - but heâs right on this analysis.
I guess McCarthy knew it would get back to the White House had he laid the blame where it belongs.
On Trump. Period
and
âHouse Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday evening that they are confident in having enough votes to pass the bill in its latest form early Thursday afternoon.â
What brilliant, incisive political analysis. Kevin McCarthy is truly vying with Louis Gohmert to be the stupidest person in Congress.
Down here in GA the Râs were scared shitless by the 2018 election. Weâre going to get Medicaid expansion before the 2020 election, no doubt.
Iâm not sure if that will be enough to save them. Especially if Trump or Pence is also on the ballot.
Kevin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. All he needs to do is look at his own state (CA) and he might realize that the TrumpTaxScam - and its cuts to the SALT deduction in particular, did as much, if not more, damage than the attempted GOP Health care scam.
but p.s. McCarthy canât blame the freedomâs fascists for the Tax Scam, that was 100% republican orthodoxy, so I guess I understand why he wants to highlight health care.
The local news did a special report just the other night, on the Medicaid expansion that Texas refused to do and whether or not that had hurt Texas. Guess what the answer was.
At this rate Texas should go bluey blue in 2020.
Yet he just stood there grinning like the rest of the idiots.
âSwear to God.â
I know that he canât flat out say it, but it would do him some good if he were to ask these gatherings to stop recording him.
That which must not be named. But youâre right. Between more of the same with Trump and the tax cut gift to the very wealthy, thereâs going to be lots of blood in that blue wave.
That is impossible. No one is as stupid or crazy as Louis Gohmert.
I have to say that the two specifics he mentionedâbungled health care and the Freedumb Caucusâwere part of the reason Republicans were swamped by the blue wave in 2018. Sadly for McCarthy they arenât the only reasons. Trump is a loser all by himself but even if he wasnât, basic Republican racism, the refusal of the Republicans to do anything for regular people or to solve any problem made it really easy to vote against them in 2018. Their dedication to yesterdayâs fossil fuel technology made them twist themselves into pretzels opposing job creating solar and wind energy and other green alternatives. Their policies leave all of us in a hole trying to dig out.
True, of course, but McCarthy is right behind him (in saying stupid things). As Charles Pierce dubbed him (Gohmert), Padishah Emperor for Life of the Crazy People.
The idiot Hugh Hewitt was on MSNBC this morning mocking Kamala Harris marijuana use saying ti was a bad whole week for her.
Some moderates argue that Republicans are overstepping voter sentiment and criticizing positions that are politically popular.
âWhat some political people donât fully understand: Medicare for all is not a radical position,â Matthew Dowd, a former top Republican who is a vocal Trump critic, wrote on Twitter. âIncreased taxes on the very wealthy is not a radical position. Gun reform is not radical. All are supported by a majority of the country. If you are a centrist, that is the center.â
The problem that both Taxes and health care have in common, is that for middle class people - even if they watch FOX news - they can figure out the numbers, they donât lie. Every single reasonably intelligent middle class suburban voter - and in particular women who keep the budget in most houses - figures out that both the GOP tax and health care plans are scams.
The GOP lost these voters bigly in 2018. The media spent so much time viewing at as âtoneâ but the reality is that these voters would have gone for the republicans if their taxes/health care costs went down substantially. The problem for the Republicans is that their policies got too rapacious for the core suburban voters they needed for a majority.

When Trump said he was going to get them cheaper better healthcare, people believed him. Beautiful healthcare. Oh, and a beautiful wall. And jobs from overseas. All those overseas jobs he was going to run out and catch and bring back here. And the people who believed got ungatz.
Itâs just a matter of time.
Heâs an idiot alright. A majority of Americans is in favor of legalization. Hell Denver is on the verge of legalizing mushrooms.
The GOP is so out of touch
