But the third time will be a charm! If we cut taxes again, it will work! I know it will! We just haven’t cut taxes enough!

Republican Dogma 101.

I agree. I can’t name one single moderate Republican in office at this time. Not one.

I can’t wait until he and this whole shit show goes down. At times I think about how things will shake out if so many are removed from office, what the logistics of that will be.

Thing is, what they’re doing regarding pre-existing conditions is just lip service. Sure, people should be able to get care for them, but only IF they can afford to pay for it themselves.

It’s very Randian of them.

I’m embarrassed to call this clown my rep. I’ve called his office many times this year to let him know how I feel about the ACA repeal. His staff is always nice, and I’m sure he’s been getting many other calls like mine.

The general electorate may slowly be waking up to the many lies told by their representatives. Most don’t pay close attention and just vote on party lines, but when someone threatens to take away something you care deeply about or need, it seems to change things (slowly). Hopefully folks out here in Malheur county won’t just rubber-stamp him in 2018.

He seems to be made of Teflon…every challenging thing that was said rolled off of him like rain water. His tactic for response was to reel off incomprehensible numbers of bills & and vague stats that the crowd could not understand or actually here. He sounded like an auctioneer.

My member of congress…but surely not my guy!!

The part Republicans want to change is the part where it’s inexpensive.

They don’t want us to have cheaper medicine and lower rates. They want health care to cost more so their donors can funnel our money to career politicians who are slicker than Willie in claiming they’re not taxing us.
