Republicans and their big balls

[packman]

You know, you gotta admire their chutzpah. Remind me - I'm getting older now and forget things - didn't they try to repeal the ACA like 50 times and predict the end of times if it was implemented.

"The U.S. House of Representatives voted 225 to 201 on Wednesday to authorize Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) to sue President Barack Obama and others in his administration for failure to fully implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Ironically, all of those Republicans voting for a lawsuit to force faster implementation of the healthcare reform law have repeatedly backed its full repeal.

1. Freaking unbelievable

They fight the ACA tooth and nail with 50+ repeal attempts and then have the balls to sue the President because he didn't implement the entire law fast enough. You can't make this shit up.

3. I find the whole thing kind of boring

Any potential lawsuit/action wouldn't be finally decided until well after this administration has left office and by then the House could have changed hands and dropped the issue entirely.

Plus the delayed items of the ACA they want implemented on schedule will probably actually be implemented well before any final judgement would be made on the proposed lawsuit.

The Democrats that participate in midterms are going to vote D, Republicans will vote R, Independents don't care about midterms, it's a propaganda play to the respective bases in the end.

I do find it irritating we couldn't fight Bush with the same effort they put in to fighting Obama.
