GOP 'giddy' as Obamacare repeal vote nears

Washington (CNN)The mood among House Republicans is jubilant Thursday morning as they prepare to vote for their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.

The first test vote easily passed along party lines, with a final vote on the bill expected in the 1 p.m. ET hour on the legislation, would dismantle the pillars of the Affordable Care Act and make sweeping changes to the nation's health care system.

The final vote will be very close, but many Republicans were already in a celebratory mode in a morning meeting in the House basement. The theme song to "Rocky" played as members filed in.

I sincerely believe they want to kill us. In fact I know it for a fact.

And by us I mean they really dont care about a single other human being other than maybe their kids and in some cases spouse.

Giddy over a feat akin to wiping ones own ass. They should be suicidal that it's taken this long. Proof they can't govern.

vote against them for sure.

Now if this were turned around and it was liberals voting to take healthcare away from poor rightwingers, I can assure you voting is not all they would be doing.

Thankfully liberals are peace loving people.
