Republicans never demanded Obamacare repeal, says Republican who demanded 'getting rid of Obamacare'

Let the rewriting of history begin!


Rep. Labrador says it's "absolutely false" that GOP sought Obamacare repeal. " We have never asked for a full repeal of Obamacare..."
— @mpoindc


Labrador says any reporters saying GOP wanted full Obamacare repeal were "lying to the American people."
— @mikememoli


So if you said Labrador and his fellow Republicans were demanding Obamacare repeal in this government shutdown, you're totally lying, because they weren't demanding Obamacare repeal, they were merely demanding the Obamacare be defunded until 2015 because they were united in support of "getting rid of Obamacare."

And, as everybody knows, there's an enormous difference between "repealing Obamacare" and "getting rid of Obamacare." So if you're one of the lying liars who is accusing Republicans of trying to use the government shutdown and threat of default as leverage to repeal Obamacare, you need to start telling the truth: They were simply trying to get rid of it.

What is Labrador's voting record on the 40 or so votes to repeal the ACA? He's got to be on record and I'll put money on him having voted for every amendment or bill to repeal, water-down, or stymy the ACA.

That's the Republican cry every time they get shown that the American public rejects their extremism. "They punched us in the gut after we punched them in the face" wahhhhh.
