..................

Commercials thanking Republicans for repealing Obamacare aired near several conservative-leaning television markets — hours after the GOP's Obamacare replacement, the American Health Care Act, was abandoned.

..........................

"Republicans are keeping their promise, with a new plan for better health care," one of the advertisements said. "Thank [California] Congressman Darrell Issa for keeping his promise and replacing the Affordable Care Act with the better healthcare you deserve."

As of Friday evening, American Action Network had uploaded the ads for 11 lawmakers on its YouTube account. Similar ads ran for Rep. David Valadao of Fresno, California, and Rep. David Young of Des Moines, Iowa.

You can watch one of the ads below:

He has TWO Democratic challengers and will be relentlessly attacked on two fronts during the primary. He'll probably advance through California's open primary, but will be to damaged to win the General election.

this LIE and the LIE that you and your AYN Rand sexual predator cronies wanted to shove down everyone's throats

Your a LIAR.

You and your bunch could have come out with single payer, like Medicare for all, but you and your bunch were "considering the Eddie Munster LIST and in the next town hall people should remind you of that, we will not forget, even if it was pulled from consideration, the simple fact that it was on the table, means you and your bunch should be voted out of office because you and your Darrell Issa cronies and of the world are doing the same thing in your TV ad tells us that you can't be trusted, that is a FACT.
Counting chickens before they hatch, or did the egg come before the chicken mentality .

And has for your PAC that created this "commercial" of deceit and deception the democrats should put one out saying that this PAC and you and Issa and others LIED, just like the pathological liar sitting in the white house and your making $174,000 a year to do this crap--------------------amazing.

is she and her cronies "thought" it was going to come to a floor vote, she is a hypocrite, she allowed her name to be placed on that ad, this is her record for obtaining moola to stay in power. What is galling is that on her list of donors #9 is insurance.

Her next act of power will be the Budget, what is her positions on lets say the Humanities and Arts, PBS, or is she in the building to gut and cut taxes of over 300 plus billion to which corporations and lobbyists.

And finally where is "her" voice on what this Nunes character is doing, when there is strong possibly of Treason, that is a question that should be pressed also

as a gambit against you and me and everyone else in this country that's what is so despicable.
As for Issa and any of the others that did this, they have No Principles.
That what this issue is about, Principles

While out having a beer last night, sitting at the bar, saw the ad for Coffman. Started laughing uncontrollably (and loudly), to the point where people asked what was so funny. I just pointed at the TV - only Repubs would take credit for passing a bill they couldn't even bring to the floor.
