So there is Cassidy from Louisiana on CNN -along the lines of this is an American thing

[malaise]

..and we need Democrat and Republican people.

Go Cheney yourself ReTHUG. You can't even get the party title right and you want their support.

2. I detest those people

seriously

3. He was blaming Democrats while trying to deflect from the then GOP gov. of LA that didn't

expand medicaid.

And trying to pass off that atrocity as something good for people.

I know. I was snarling at the screen.

4. It's all they do - blame someone else

[gratuitous]

5. Republicans need a refresher course on what negotiation means

Spoiler alert: It doesn't mean that one side dictates terms and the other side just goes along. That will come as a jolt to our Republican friends, I know. But Republicans offered more than 100 amendments to the Affordable Care Act, discuss and debate those amendments, and have votes on them. Many of those amendments passed and were incorporated in the final bill. In spite of this input, each and every Republican in Congress - both House and Senate - voted against the ACA.

Even that wasn't enough, as Republicans filed multiple lawsuits against the Act, limiting the essential health benefits that could be mandated, and making the Medicaid expansion optional for the states. Now, what state would turn down federal money to provide better care for its citizens? Republican dominated states, that's who. Their own people would get sicker and die sooner, but because Republicans had to stick it to Democrats, they were just fine with turning down the Medicaid expansion. This in turn raised costs for everyone, and Republicans had the nerve to say this was the ACA's fault. Thanks to a spineless popular media, that lie has become an accepted part of the national conversation on the ACA.

So you know something, Sen. Cassidy? You want to dismantle the ACA (which in spite of all the pot shots you and your Republican brethren have taken at it, remains quite robust), but you don't have the guts to do it by yourself, and you want Democrats to invite themselves to sit on the hot seat with you. I'd like to suggest an anatomically impossible action for you, you pin-dicked bug-fucker.

6. Said he wants to protect the vulnerable, and now sings the praises of this bill, version 3

Lying through his teeth, obviously, he picked up his check.

Was just on Meet The Press Daily, on MSNBC.

Talks a good game, same old corporate hypocrite.

"The states will have the great opportunity to customize their healthcare. The way they want it."

He was asked 3 times about the diminishing grants,

"Oh no, they will go up, people will be protected."

Another liar
