NO ONE who professes these articles of "faith" and claims Christ as their role model in the Senate actually VOTES the way that stated belief would logically compel.

Christ did all of this:
Healed the sick...FOR FREE. (Lepers, blind, ill, even Lazarus from the dead, without so much as a co-pay!)
Comforted the afflicted...FROM LOVE. ("I assure you that whatever you do to the LEAST among you, you do to ME..." )
Defended the least among him...FOR JUSTICE. ("He WITHOUT sin shall cast the first stone..." )

ANYONE claiming they are following Jesus of Nazareth and remaining ON RECORD as supporting for-profit healthcare and insurance can kindly take their FAKE religion and BULLSHIT 'faith' and shove it right up their ass until it comes out their fucking ears.

Hypocrites, liars and thieves...ALL of them.

God is trying to tell them. Everything is is in plain site Trump and his people even admitted doing it on national tv. Along with other crimes. What more do they need? God has sent them the answer the GOP just don't like it.

Reminds me of this story.

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"
