To Every Senate Republican: You Will Be Called to Account

for your vote on the phony Republican health care bill. Count on it. We're watching. If you pass a bill that will strip people of their insurance and bankrupt them, you will have to account for it. We will call you to account for it.

And that's a promise!

1. One hopes indeed that voters from both sides will pay attention to what is done.

But FOX and the right wing media machine will labor mightily to convince the gullible that GOP Care is a good thing.

And it will be, for the 1%.

It's the GOP's version of "Let them eat cake."

I prefer the saying: what's good for the goose is good for the gander. But they want no part of the "shit up and die" bill, neither for them nor their loved ones.

Most of them are millionaires, with far greater access to quality care and insurance plans.

benefits if passed. With all the goodies being given out to Governors and Senators (lisa murkowski), I fear it will pass.

It was the Democrats who gave them health insurance...and the Republican voters hated Obama for it. Now they are begging that the ACA doesn't go away...

9. Tens of millions of FOX viewers will be told that Obamacare failed

And this was the result. There will never be direct accountability and the flock will believe that any loss of coverage or increase in premium is due solely to the evil liberals in their midst. That's how it will be sold to them and they lack the intellectual curiosity to investigate further. After all, these are the same folks who claim not know that Obamacare is ACA and ACA is Obamacare.
