1. You have to say one thing about republicans:

They never give up. And yet people keep on voting them in.

[valerief]

11. Well, gerrymandering, election fraud, and voter suppression keeps electing them. nt

[Rider3]

22. I love the Bernie message!

You're right. He's NOT an asshole!

[valerief]

25. I recently swiped it from someone else's sigline here. S/he swiped it from someone else. nt

[nightscanner59]

27. And yet...

Ignorant, Fox Noize mesmerized well armed racism prone people too ignorant to realize they are ignorant keep voting them in.

2. "The Party of New Ideas"

3. Not enough support to override a veto.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Thank goodness! I really hate to broad-brush any group of people, but today's Republicans personify most of what I consider to be evil in this world.

GOP = Greedy Old Plutarchs, and not much else.


[font color="purple"]Go, Bernie!
Feelin' The Bern!

14. After reading this list I have to say

I don't think they could sink any lower.

I'm literally stunned at some of this. They really don't care if people die.

[silverweb]

16. No, they really don't care.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I'm not even surprised anymore at their obvious contempt for humanity and decency.

They pander to certain groups just gain political power, then they serve their true masters, the ruling mega-wealthy and their own wealth accumulation, which are all they really care about. That's why they're so keen to privatize everything - there's money to be made from the suffering of others, after all.

19. +1 Stunned is what I am, too.

Every time you think things cannot possibly get worse, they do.

[Cosmocat]

4. And

this country could give a shit ...

Cause republicans can do or say wtf stupid ass thing they want because democrats are too busy hiding from their own shadows to call them out on it/the media will sluff it of as "those wacky republicans."

Meanwhile, republicans will scream their heads off over whatever non sensical bullshit they get behind, the media will put a mic in front of and turn up the volume and hit replay until the button breaks.

BENGAZI!

5. Fox News: "Republicans work tirelessly through the night to ensure all Americans have access..

...to the finest of health care!..Obama scorns their holy work"

6. 8. GOP VOTED TO: Go back to GOPDon'tCare.

[world wide wally]

7. Why do we never hear this on news shows?

[valerief]

12. You mean on Oligarch News? Those 6 rat bastards would never allow it. nt

[SpankMe]

8. Because Republicans are psychotic mother fuckers. n/t

9. Cartoonist suggestion: "Peanuts"

If it hasnt been done already, remake the Lucy holding the football encouraging Charlie Brown to kick it scene something like this: Lucy is our congress, Charlie Brown is the taxpayer. Observing the inevitable con-job are Sally and Peppermint Patty. Sally says to Patty, "Doesn't he know by now that she doesn't represent his wishes?" Patty's response should be something like; "I guess not, Chuck takes it in the shorts every single time!"

The reference here is one meant not to be lost on our friends who vote conservative, that "our" representatives do not represent our wishes-that they instead knowingly waste our tax dollars.

The amount of money wasted by congress to overturn the A.C.A. is utterly absurd! Those spending it know that the only result is in conning those who keep voting for them. Just as Charlie Brown is being played for a sucker the voter is being played too.

10. Why did this get through the Senate?

Was it part of the budget deal?

[SummerSnow]

13. And Eddie Munster said 'Obamacare' hasn't worked for anyone. Lying rethug

[yuiyoshida]

15. I totally understand the GOP is in the pocket

of Corporations. Of course they don't want this, and the GOP would say, yes to throwing those bums out of hospitals cause they were poor and sick. No one wants poor sick people to hang around hospitals begging for health care. Let them get it out in the streets... or better yet, let them go to the Churches and let their Ministries pray for better health. Everyone knows hospitals should be for the well off.. the wealthy upper 1%!!

Maybe they should reveal their plans for these DEATH PANELS they are always talking about. If it weren't for DEMOCRATS, THE STREETS WOULD BE LINED WITH POOR, DEAD PEOPLE.

Meh.

17. If Speaker Ryan and the Republicans think Obamacare needs some fixes. DO IT RYAN.

why take away insurance from over 16 million people Paul Ryan, WHY? Fix those areas that need tweeted. Republicans prefer to take away from the people, not help them. Now if they were all millionaires they would get instant relief.

18. GOP Asks President To Take Away Health Care Coverage For 17.6 Million, Replace It With Nothing

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/01/06/1466641/-GOP-Asks-President-To-Take-Away-Health-Care-Coverage-For-17-6-Million-Replace-It-With-Nothing

The Affordable Care Act now provides an estimated 17.6 Million Americans with health insurance and health care coverage, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (figures as of September 2015). What the Republicans would do for those 17.6 million people once their insurance was taken away from them has never been made clear, either because they have no idea or because they simply don’t care:

There is currently no GOP alternative to Obamacare. Asked why Republicans went ahead with this repeal bill without first putting forward an alternative, Ryan told reporters "just wait."

“Just wait.” If the American people had waited for the Republican Party, 18% of the entire US population would still be uninsured. That number has dropped to 11.9% thanks to this law the GOP wants the President to eliminate. Apparently Republicans think it’s a great idea to have as many Americans as possible going through their lives without any health insurance:

Ryan hedged when asked whether the House will ever vote on a replacement to Obamacare. Ryan has pledged that the House will come up with its own plan this year — something the GOP has repeatedly promised but failed to do in the nearly six years since the law's enactment. He said details such as whether it will actually come to a vote have not been determined.

"Nothing's been decided yet," Ryan said

24. are there any estimates of how many of those 17.6 million people vote GOP?

that might be the best barometer ever of proving how many 'Mericans are Maroons

[PatrickforO]

20. This is why I'm supporting Sanders. If we can once get every American

covered with a good single payer system, then no political party will be able to take it away without massive rioting in the streets and certain defeat in the next election.
