It didn't work last time (and the times before that and before that and before that...), but I have a feeling it will work this time.

The ultimate disconnect: when you think image trumps substance.

It's not because of what's being said about them, it's because of what they're DOING. This is more of the same.

The Republicans DO NOT CARE what the American people want. We just voted, and in doing so, we REJECTED the Republican's policies. So, they keep shoving the same policies at us.

NO means NO, GOP.

Want to know what the biggest waste in government is? Look no further than the Republican Party.

that 10 Republicans "broke" with the party.

Or maybe they tripped trying to stay in lockstep.

Didn't we just have an election about these issues? How many times have they had a
vote to kill the A.C.A.?

Keep it up Paul and you will lose your hometown of Jamestown, WI by a landslide in
the next election.

Now will it go thru Senate or not? it was approved at the Congress but would it have to go thru Senate vote? This Ryan deserves the worst, and how about the ObamaCare? that is the one I want for me and the rest of my family! whatzz gonna happen next? thanks for the info!

IT WILL NEVER PASS!

I don't know wtf they are thinking. Maybe if they pass it enough times, people are just gonna vote for it?
I dunno.

if both houses pass a new law repealing it and they override President Obama's veto... then the only way the SCOTUS will get involved is if someone else sues them again, and they will rule on THAT law.

This scenario is also known as "when monkeys fly out of my butt and/or Dems throw the next two election cycles."

This is a great opportunity for us to show how anti working class and anti working class the Republicans are. This should be put all over the place, anywhere where content can be posted, on any tv station/radio station where progressives/liberals talk. I am tired of all these middle class republicans making the claim that the republicon party does care about the middle class. This is a blaring example of everything that is wrong with the republicon party.

Not a single Democrat voted for it there either. It went down by a 40-59 vote with 5 Republicans voting no.

Something like, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?" Please correct me if I am wrong. I just cannot stop thinking of this! And, the man scares me. He looks like a meaner older brother of Eddie Munster.
