GOP congressman: Senators will 'find Jesus' and defund Obamacare


snip..


The bill now heads to the Senate, where the Democratic majority will amend it, likely restoring Obamacare funding, and send it back to the House.

But Republican Rep. Jim Jordan said he hopes that regular Americans, and more spiritual beings, will influence senators.

"When the American people get engaged, they have a way of making elected officials see the light, find the Lord, and do the right thing. This bill does the right thing," Jordan said in an interview with CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.”

Nothing says Jesus like not feeding the poor and healing the sick these days to Republicans

4. Jimmy got bumped on his head

too many times as a high school wrestler.

5. The GOP worships Judas, not Jesus

Their hypocrisy on feeling the poor and healing the sick is simply stunning.

6. If the Congresscritters ever really found Jesus, there would be a major reversal of a lot of things.

[Cryptoad]

7. Funny to hear the GOP's call for Jesus,,,,

there is not one teaching of Jesus that the GOP endorses !

[Enthusiast]

8. Kicked and recommended.

I like this.

9. Blessed are

Blessed are the rich for all good things trickle down from them. Cursed are the poor for poverty results from their moral failings.

Blessed are the war makers for they keep freedom on the march. Cursed are the peacemakers for they shall be called appeasers.

Blessed are those who inflict harsh punishments for they maintain law and order. Cursed are those who forgive for they shall be called soft on crime.

Blessed are those who pray loudly standing in the churches and on the corners sounding the trumpet before them. Cursed are those who shut the closet door and pray in secret for their prayers are not heard.

Blessed are those who cast the first stone for the sake of sexual morality for that is the only morality that matters. Cursed are those who see sexuality as a private matter for marriage must be defended against them.

11. wait--how're the poor getting healed?

[Wounded Bear]

12. That's obvious....find Jesus...he gives out free medical care.

House GOPer: Senate Will 'Find Jesus' And Defund Obamacare

Most think it's a long shot that Senate Democrats will vote to defund Obamacare, even after the House approved a defund measure Friday, but at least one congressional Republican is expecting some divine intervention.

"I think there are senators who are going to find Jesus and do the right thing," Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday. Jordan quickly clarified, at Tapper's urging, that his metaphor was about the bill's passage and not about finding religion.
