Best way to make this issue go away is to throw the GOP out of office.

I think this is all an orchestrated scam. It’s not going to pass. It’s probably not even going to come up for a vote. GOPpers can spend all week earnestly opining on what a horrible thing the ACA is and how they REALLY REALLY REALLY want to repeal it but those dastardly Democrats just wanna ā€˜double down’ and although the GOPpers would really love to honor their promises they can’t. And by the way, Obama is evil and Hillary! You know, emails.

Maybe if they bribe all 50 states with the ACA, they can repeal ā€œObamacareā€. Just might work with that base…just a branding issue.

Could very well be, since, by definition, everything GOP is a scam.

Anyone ask Thune just what’s so great about this bill - that gets rid of essential health benefits, so insurance policies don’t actually have to insure very much, and allows insurance companies to charge as much as they want for pre-existing conditions, so if you’ve got one, tough luck, and that probably would result in 20-30 million fewer Americans being able to afford such insurance as was then available - that he’d like to have it become law?

Or is everybody just shrugging their shoulders and saying, ā€œyep, the GOP is the Party of Evil, it isn’t more complicated than that, so no point askingā€?

ā€œTerminator will not stopā€

But he did stop when the movie ended.
That’s our job. End the movie.
It’ll take them some time to prepare the sequel.

Asked what comes next, Thune noted that the leaders on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Sen. Patty Murray (R-WA), had been working on a bipartisan measure to issue fixes to Obamacare…


Asked what comes next, Thune suggested bribes, begging, loss of committee assignments and ominous threats.

If my belief that it’s all due to the Koch-aligned and Texas oil and real estate oligarchs giving them an ultimatum that either they ended the socialist Obamacare socialism and cut taxes on corporations or the money and astroturfing spigots were closing on them is correct, they have to at least keep trying until the bitter end, and then deliver the tax cuts, if there’s any hope of changing their minds.

And don’t think for a minute that this will end even with the closure of the reconciliation period. They’ll also try to gut Obamacare in the appropriations bill. Because otherwise, no more oligarch money.

Thune can actually talk? I thought he was just a cardboard cut out consistently placed behind Mitch McConnell.
