on the one hand, i'm obviously thrill that aca repeal is dead. on the other hand, i'm really pissed

now that it's been revealed to have been a sham,
now that it's been revealed that the aca is far better than any practical (at least in the political sense) alternative,
now that it's been revealed that republicans won't be able to deliver on their promise...

exactly how much f*cking political mileage did these *ssholes get out of opposing and undermining and bad-mouthing and promising to repeal the aca?

exactly how much airtime?

exactly how many elections did they win?

exactly how much did they gain out of empty rhetoric, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?

but sometimes I wish I was. That way when I wish them all straight to hell it would really mean something. Guess I'll have to settle for "Karmas a bitch."
