1. The GOP is really clogging their base's arteries

with all this anti-Obamacare red meat, aren't they?

[caledesi]

6. Yes! Thanks to Earl for posting this. nt

[Initech]

2. Why am I suddenly reminded of the movie Clerks?

[HughBeaumont]

3. Bunch of petulant drunk clowns with bottles and rattles . . . .

[yurbud]

7. It looks like your working on a public service announcement on the danger of clowns

not a minute too soon.

4. 37--Combined IQ of those GOP assholes. nt

[yurbud]

5. One thing I'll give the GOP--they don't make a token effort and then throw in the towel

I'd like to see Democrats act like this on the issues that matter more often.

8. 37? In a row?

[Hubert Flottz]

9. Ratpublicans = Drama queens who get paid $200,000 a year...

to stink up the country.

I wonder how many dollars they've spent in the 37 attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act? Maybe the US could afford to provide better protection for our operatives abroad if the republicans hadn't wasted all the taxpayer's time and money. Maybe those three Americans who died in Benghazi would be alive today. When our "Leaders" go to Washington they should go there to represent and protect all of the American people at home and abroad, like they swore on the Bible to do, instead of going there and doing nothing 37 times, totally for political stagecraft. It's winning the "GAME" to them. It's time to go to work those 2 days a week and stop playing games.

10. Imagine all the people . . .

who have tuned the Republicans out,

or are laughing at them like their old crazy aunties.

The only ones who are listening to them anymore are the ones who were already listening to them.

These people are obsolete.

We need to endure them for maybe ten years more at the most (and still be STRONG and constructive of our own positive values and diverse truths) and then they'll be gone.

11. Meanwhile, I'm paying $1,349 per month for one person under COBRA.

It was under $500 in 2010.

Everyone blames Obama, I say it's PROOF that they need to be reigned in.

Fuckers will bleed me dry.

12. If every member of the electorate who benifits from Obama Care votes Dem....

...and every member of the electorate who finds themselves at loss from Obama Care votes Republican, the Republicans will be sorely challenged for votes....and sympathy.

[toby jo]

14. Hell, it's less time for them to concoct another gerrymander scheme.

38 guys! Keep going!

[valerief]

15. Well, after all, they have to do SOMETHING. They're financially committed to NOT doing anything

useful for the U.S. citizenry. We know that. So what do they do? Legislative masturbation.

[Thor_MN]

16. If at first you don't succeed?

Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again? What a bunch of idiots.

I would say the the GOP needs to post a bond to cover the costs, if they want to try another attempt at this. If it again fails, they forfeit the bond to the General Fund.

[Cha]

17. And "$52" Million Dollars later.

thank you, EarlG!

18. Insanity is right... nt

[ailsagirl]

19. Their ineptitude is astounding

Imbeciles

[titanicdave]

20. You know.....

the human-turtle hybrid (Mitch McConnell) said in a speech long before the 2012 election that he wanted to make President Obama a one term president, and unfortunately, the way the rethugs are going, they have somewhat succeeded in that goal as they have basically stopped governing altogether and just say no to everything.....I hope the voters remember this the next time around and respond by throwing the bums out.

21. "We can't vote enough on Obama care. We could vote on it every day."

"We can't vote enough on Obama care. We could vote on it every day."
Jeff Duncan SC

"I just think, hey, every few months let's do the repeal again. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.
Sometimes if you just keep passin' the bill over and over again, it'll gain traction, particularly with the American people."
John Fleming - LA

22. HOW much has this cost the American Taxpayer......???.

[EC]

23. Who were the 2 Dems

that voted to repeal?

[tofuandbeer]

24. I guess there's nothing better to do.

[caraher]

25. It's insanity, but the Einstein quote doesn't apply

None of the Republicans playing along really expect different results - quite the opposite! The whole point of this vote was to let the newcomers to Congress be able to say that they, too, voted against Obamacare. So they expect the same result, letting them appear members of the heroic resistance to tryanny in the eyes of the low-information voter (aka Faux News viewers).

[adicortez]

26. What If?

We introduced gun control legislation 40 times?

[RyanThomas]

27. Ahh, the party against government waste strikes again.

It's hilarious how much money they can spend on something even they must know will not succeed.

[Turbineguy]

28. Must be nice to have

so much money to waste...
