What is the real reason DT and most of the Republican congresscritters

are hell-bent on getting rid of "Obamacare?"

Is it because they want to get rid of anything Obama accomplished, or to decrease taxes for the poor overtaxed 1% or 5%? Or is it something else?

And they expect to get a return on that investment. How else do you explain that we can't get sensible gun legislation passed with a 98% public approval rating but a bill with 15% approval that strips millions of their healthcare will likely be passed along party lines, and these sick fucks don't even bat an eye. Why? Because they know their real consituents, their fanancial backers, will pour enough money into future campaigns to suppress any outrage that the folks back home may have over this heartless bill. Mix in a healthy dose of Obama hatred and you have their motivation.

They have spent 7 years ginning their pods into believing THEIR GOD DAMNED VERSION OF HEALTH CARE REFORM was the worst thing to happen to mankind in history and along the way brain washed themselves to believe the same thing.

SO, they are just doing what they know.

As others noted, however, somehow this mess is part of the grand master plan to cut taxes to their over lords.
