Republicans in Congress repel Obamacare

[crockett]

Oh my bad they haven't done shit in their first month, just like they didn't do shit the last 2 years and the 2 years before that. All they do is cry Obama, Obama, Obama.. Seems the big bad black man is still keeping the GOP down..

Isn't it funny how they kept telling everyone that their number one goal was to do away with ACA if elected.. Yet they seem quiet as church mice about it since they were elected.

Republicans in Congress can't do their jobs..

Cry Bengazi
Cry Muslim
Cry Mexicans
Cry Obamacare.. oh shit don't cry Obamacare we lied about getting rid of that.. Muslim, Muslim Muslim..

Since you are always so faithful to your beloved Right Wing.. Why is it you think Republican's haven't done a thing since they took over the majority in both the House & Senate?

An entire month has gone by and what have they accomplished? Hell they couldn't even get their own abortion bill signed off by their own Republican housemates. As a right winger, why do you think they are incapable of doing their job? Do you think a month is not enough time to do anything anything at all? Should we wait 3 months, 6 months? a year before they do something, anything at all?

I'm just puzzled at why after winning the majority in both the House & the Senate, that the Republicans still can't do their job. We were promised that they would end gridlock in Washington, but seems just more empty promises from the GOP.

I'm paying their salary as are you.. Don't you expect them to do "something" beside collect money for doing nothing? Seems to me the biggest welfare queens in this country are sitting in Congress right now..

they are doing their job. they got a wall street dereg passed thru the last budget bill. They passed keystone. they might shut down the DHS over immigration. they are doing a lot if you pay them.

besides you know the current parties only philosophy is to stop the growth of government. so them doing nothing is an accomplishment in their minds.

but you know all this!

I am not faithful to any party (although, of course, as any quality citizen I tend to prefer right rather than left), let alone "beloved".
I am just laughing at you and similar fanboys painting republicans as always bad and never seeing bad thing democrats do. Or if some republican fucks up you specify REPUBLICAN fucked up and when some democrat fucks up you either do not mention of do not specify democrat. And similar shenanigans...

When are Republicans ever against corporate welfare? ACA is corporate welfare for the insurance companies and Big Pharma and those guys donate to both sides of the aisle.

Ahh so you are just another one of those right wingers whom is embarrassed to call himself Republican. I totally understand as we both have this same thing in common, believe it or not I too would be embarrassed to call myself a Republican, so I know exactly where you are coming from.

I'm still curious though as you never addressed the subject matter of this topic. Why is it do you think the Republican led Congress can not do their job? Do you think they will be a lame duck congress given their dismal performance so far?

But they promised to do away with it. They even claimed their winning both the house and senate majority was proof that Americans voted to do away with ACA. Are you saying they were lying this whole time?

Nope, I am not embarrassed to say that I prefer right over left, since any quality citizen would do so.

What I meant is that, contrary to what you wrongly assumed, I am not "in love" with any party. I just view right economic views as the right views for any quality citizen. Your "beloved" statement implies that I am hardcore supporter, which I am not.

Ok we get it it you hate Democrats and believe you are part of the master race..

Now what do you think about Republicans not doing their job in congress? In the past you complained about Democrats not doing their job in Congress so is it just a you hate Democrats thing or do you blame Obama or do you agree that Republicans are also not doing their jobs?

You know how I know you are Republican?


.. oh don't answer I'll just tell you..


You can never answer a question about anything nor can par-take in a discussion with out bitching and moaning about the left, Obama or Democrats. To top it off and you have a serious superiority chip on your shoulder.

You are a typical crazy ass right winger whom would vote for Sarah Palin and somehow expect a good outcome..

I think this congress is as spoiled, out of touch and inept as previous congresses.

My parents were Republicans, I have never been a Republican. In high school my "Don't switch dick's in the middle of a screw, vote for Nixon in '72" t-shirt caused endless friction in our family and pretty much ended their offer to pay for my college.

Not being a good Republican was a major turning point in my life. Sorry I'm not someone you can automatically look down on and despise.

Lolz. They passed keystone already, which was their main priority . you know how many bills the 113 t h congress pass in the entire year? 5

Voting to defund Obamacare is more of a rite of passage for new members of Congress than anything.

Oh, so you agree with me then that they have effectively done nothing..

Let's start at the beginning..

First thing they do, is come into their new found power and try to push an anti abortion bill. A bill that 75% of the country would be against. In fact they couldn't even get their bill past the woman in their own party so it died before even being brought up to vote.. Fail.

Now the Republicans have the opportunity to show that they want to lead and work on behalf of the entire country. Yet their opening shot was just like usual narrow minded political games, meant to appease their extreme right wing religious nuts by regulating woman's bodies..

Next they move on to the Keystone pipe line. That big black bad guy in the oval office, told them from the start he will veto any bill that tries to pass the Keystone pipeline.

This gave Republicans 3 choices..

1) Work with Obama to put together something he could support. Failed..

2) Work with Democrats and put together a bill that has a veto proof majority. Once again Failed..

3) Ignore working on a pipe line deal which once again 75% of America does not want and instead show actual leadership skills to do something positive for America. Then go back and try to work with Obama & Democrats to pass a Keystone bill showing they are willing to give & take.. Again Fail..

Simply put Republicans have shown us, that they can not lead and will continue to push legislation that only benefits a very narrow segment of their base. The worst part is they are so arrogant that they pretend to be outraged when it doesn't work..

Next we will see a topic from Venzilla whining about Obama vetoing the Keystone pipeline bill and you guys will circle jerk over it when Obama does exactly what he said he would do..

Meaning Republicans have accomplished absolutely nothing during their first 30 days other than show America how arrogant they are.

I suppose they couldn't find hot Republicans though. Maybe the gay niche?

They don't need hot chicks... Just photoshop Sarah Palin's head on a chicks body with a gun.. it will work just as well. Hell you could probably get away with photoshopping her head on a twinks body as well..

give it up crockett. the FACT is this congress is on track to pass 2.5 TIMES the amount of legislation the previous congress passed.

I don't troll jack shit, I have the nutsack to understand a topic and make an opinion on it that's usually not the conventional wisdom that gets fed to people such as yourself. that's why you mistakenly think it's trolling.




If you can't grasp the FACT stated, then prove it wrong. this one would be very super easy for you to prove wrong.

but you can't, because it is a fact. that's why you decided to go with the trolling angle.

Is that like a Vendzilla fact?

They haven't passed anything that will get past the president's desk.. they have accomplished nothing.. What is it about this which you do not understand?

You can try and talk in circles, but the end of the day, if they can't show leadership skills which equate into bills turning into law, they have done nothing.

So far they haven't passed a bill with veto proof majority..

They haven't passed a bill which the president will sign..

So tell me again what they have done?

[dyna mo]

sharpen your pencil crockett, you are about to get schooled.


class begins:

Just three weeks into the new Congress, the Senate has been able to accomplish something it couldn't do all of last year: vote on more than 15 amendments.

The upper chamber, now under the control of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted on its 16th amendment of the year on Thursday night, one more than the Democrat-run Senate managed in all of 2014.

~80 republican sponsored bills already introduced into the 114th congress while only ~25 democratic sponsored bills have been introduced

How many of those have been passed? How many have been signed into law? Care to name a single one?

The simple fact is the House is acting just the same as they did when Democrats controlled the Senate. They are pushing "shit" bills to the Senate which get turned down by the Senate. Why? Because Republicans in the House are at ends with each other due to moderates and the crazies not being able to agree with themselves, let alone Democrats.

This results in Boners sending shitty bills to the Senate which get kicked to the curb the moment they arrive. In fact the House sent the exact same bill 3 times and was kicked to the curb 3 times by the Senate, with John Boner somehow expecting a different result from the first time it was kicked.. ie the problem all along has been Republican lack of leadership in the House as everyone with any common sense has seen for a long time.

Here are some actual quotes from Republican Senators about the Republican House..

Senate Republicans, meanwhile, roll their eyes, count to 10 and wait patiently for the noise to give way to reason. “We can go through the motions, sure, but I don’t think we’re fooling anybody,” said Republican senator Jeff Flake about the prospect of another doomed vote. “Because we need [Democratic] support to get on the bill.”

“It’s not an issue of commitment, it’s a matter of math,” said the Republican senator John McCain – perhaps failing to realise that math, like science, is no competition for blind faith and bad politics.

You can try to cherry coat it all you want, but the "facts" are they have not passed a single bill that has any chance of being signed into law. They have accomplished nothing but play political games.

I've always said that Obamacare and Romneycare are the same thing. People uninterested in real social change tend to end any critique of the Obama administration by asking whether Romney would have been better, like there are no other options.

ACA is egregious corporate welfare and most Democrats and Republicans in 2015 serve their corporate sponsors.
