How Rick Santorum Got A Haircut And Revived The GOP's Obamacare Repeal Effort.

[Cattledog]

There's a chance Republicans wouldn't be so close to repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act if former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania hadn't dropped into the Capitol barbershop this spring.

"I was up on the Hill, I happened to just go by the barbershop to see if I could get a haircut, and Lindsey was in the chair," Santorum said. "And Lindsey asked me what I was doing, and I thought to myself, 'Well, let me just bounce it off Lindsey.' "

"Lindsey" was Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and "it" was an idea Santorum had just begun talking about with several members of the House Freedom Caucus — repealing large parts of Obamacare and replacing it with a system that's long been a Republican favorite, block grants of funding to states that come with far fewer federal mandates.

1. Santorum said. "And Lindsey asked me what I was doing,'

i think he meant "who are you lobbying for"?

2. Looking back over my ACA repeal notes his name appears

from my Sept 6th notes. I knew then that if his name is involved this was going to be very bad bill. I take notes since the ACA repeal will be devastating to me physically and financially Even my sister and parents, who offered to help with my bills for my needed surgeries, will be greatly effected. This BS has such a far reaching effect on so many people. Unbelievable. This is not my country anymore...I really do not comprehend what it has become.

3. Sure, Rickey's in DC!

He's ashamed to come back to PA after we voted him out (also knowing that he should owe the Penn Hills School District thousands of dollars for making them pay for the cyber education of his children while they lived in a 2-million dollar mansion in VA).
He's like Newt and Coulter - why can't they just go away and be gone for good?
They are ALL evil!

4. We all know the definition of Santorum...

He just reinforced it.

5. I KNEW it was him!......

yesterday, when cameras were following Cassidy and Graham down the hallway, I thought I saw Santorum with them.. I replayed it and he saw all the reporters and cameras and he fell way back, so by the time Kasey Hunt was asking her questions, he wasn't even in the picture. I thought it was Santorum and be damned if it wasn't. He didn't want to be seen, lurking around like a big old nasty spider.

6. Yep, I posted this the other day

Heard on NPR that Rick Srotorum hatched this idea in Lindsey's feeble little brain during a discussion at a Congressional barber shop??

They birthed this monstrosity while Lindsey was getting the Adolf flip, and Srotorum was... I don't know... getting his asshole bleached?

Pennsylvania kicked Ricky's ass to the curb, and he couldn't even get out of a cornfield maze in Iowa during the primary, but "he's" responsible for this "frothy mixture of semen, anal secretions and bile" piece of crap bill that impacts 1/6th of our economy??

And... apparently Donnie Short Fingers was at the UN today singing a mashup of Elton John's "Rocket Man" and Drowning Pools "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor".

This is either the best, or worse acid trip ever!

7. I think Lindsey was picked to head this up...

To win McCain's vote
