"Democrats refuse to come to the table on healthcare"

[Stinky The Clown]

That, or similar statements are very popular among the GOPee chatterers of late.

It pisses me off that few media people call them on that bullshit and REMIND them they said - THEY said - they would do the repeal/replace without any Democratic help. But now that their agenda appears to be on the verge of auguring in in a ball of fire, it is somehow the Democrats' fault.

And Moron-Americans across the breadth of this once great nation eat it up.

1. pretty soon they won't have much to eat

2. Soooo..some thugs have planned to kill your grandma

and they get mad at YOU for not helping them...

pretty close , eh?


dream on losers...

YOU now own healthcare..you kill it, it's on YOU!!!

3. This is the problem with the media. They seem to be in Trump's corner and pretending to be balanced

This is an obvious call-out opportunity because Mitch has even said he didn't want them at the table. CNN hosts are particularly poor at calling out the lying GOP.

5. You are on to the real story.

Media is such a bunch of cowards. Corporate controlled Narrative.

4. Why Should THey

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. Kills me

First off, the Democratic plan is ALREADY law. It was signed into law 7 years ago. Second, Democrats have never refused to sit down with Republicans and work to address flaws with the law but that's not what Republicans are trying to do right now, so why would they join them in trying to repeal ACA? Thirdly, Republicans crafted this bill in secret with only 13 Republican Senators participating and tried to ram it through on a party line vote. Fourth, a lot of the problems w/ACA would be fixed if Republicans stopped sabotaging the law, which, of course, they're not interested in fixing it.

7. And they haven't refused.

They simply have one condition: No repeal of ACA. They are open to changes to improve it.

They're not "refusing to come to the table on healthcare," they're "refusing to come to the table on ending healthcare" which all Republican plans are doing to some extent or another.

8. "Come on and help us scrap Obama's legacy and when it all falls apart, we'll blame you" Sounds legit

Right? Right?

[Cosmocat]

9. This all started when republicans went ballistic over THEIR plan for health care reform

Media called them on that, when?

The unspoken truth is that my entire adult life, doing into the 80s, this country has just aimlessly let itself be led by its nose by whatever flight of fancy fuck wittery the GOP comes up with.

Reagen's presidency is built on his legacy of taking down the soviet union (HE DID IT, no one else).

Beirut bombing of Marine barrack (hotel), hey we kicked Grenadas ass!

Early 90s - THE WORLD WILL END BECAUSE OF OUR DEFICIT!

90s going well - Clinton this, clinton that. No nation building and his concern about Islamic terrorism is all just a distraction from the blowjob!

Let's elect the moron you'd like to have a beer with!

The moron comes on board with a balance budget, "you can't trust government with a surplus, and deficits don't matter."

9-11 - TERRORISM! TERRORISM! TERRORISM, and lets nation build Iraq!

all of Ws term - you can't criticize the commander in chief with troops in the field!

BHO gets elected, "you can't criticize the commander in chief with troops in the field" never heard again.

BHO signs the republican version of health care reform into law, and republicans gin their pods up to think it is the greatest threat to democracy in our history.

All 8 years of BHO presidency, Rs use congress for nothing other than to obstruct and throw a nutty of a decent man and solid POTUS

A quarter century after the Russians threw in the towel on the Cold War, the republican party gives them the winners trophy by electing 45.
Now

10. That about sums it up.

[HughBeaumont]

11. Yeah, I guess we're just not down with Mercantile CullCare.

We're somehow the "bad guys", though.
