Republicans Fail to Kill the ObamaCare Monster
Well, there you have it. ObamaCare, the Democrats’ Frankenstein monster, CAN. NOT. DIE.
Senator John McCain, literally with a wink and a nod to Chuck Shumer, gives Trump, not to mention the rest of us, the Finger – maybe for the last time.
So, what just happened? First, Republicans promised to REPEAL ObamaCare for SEVEN YEARS. Then they chickened out and took a swan dive down the slippery slope of “Repeal and Replace.”
You knew it would fail from the start. Too many choices, too many cooks (make that “crooks”). The outcome of this sorry charade tells us just how bad of a shape we are in.
The Republican Party proves itself incompetent to govern – to the delight of Democrats, who actually think it is a Win for their side.
Democrats have spent the last six months doing nothing but mooning President Trump. Now they’re actually gloating about the Republican train wreck. They think it means everybody will vote for a Democrat in 2018.
They are mistaken. Some Republicans are weak, careless cowards afraid of taking FREE STUFF back from the mob. But that doesn’t mean the electorate will shift its allegiance to the same people who gave the mob FREE STUFF in the first place.
Republican Heads Will Roll
What is more likely is that a lot of Republican heads will roll in 2018. They’ll be replaced by BETTER Republicans. Or maybe some Independents OR new Third Party candidates. (I can dream, can’t I?).
We need to start in Alaska and Maine. What are you people thinking up there? Cold getting to you? Seven Republicans voted for the exact same “Straight Repeal” Bill when they knew there was no chance it would become law, then voted against it when there was. Look ‘em up. One of them might be your representative. They all have their excuses, none of which count for squat.
So, how about that “Health Care Crisis?” Well, get ready for things to get worse… much worse. Health Care costs are going nowhere but up. As are “private” Health Care Insurance premiums.
Recently I saw a story about two people who jumped off a bridge, leaving their children behind. All because they could not afford “ObamaCare.” People with that mindset are soon going to have to take a number.
Insurance Companies Will Bail
Insurance Companies have already been bailing on the ObamaCare Exchanges like rich people on the Titanic. Now they’re going to start bailing on the individual insurance market altogether. Why? Because their profits are at too great of a risk.
Government promises to reimburse their losses from providing new coverage for people who are already sick are looking pretty shaky. President Trump, thinking he is helping, is going to do everything he can to make sure ObamaCare implodes sooner rather than later. Then he can Tweet, “I told you so.”
Your taxes are going to go up to pay for the Democrats’ FREE STUFF. And don’t hold your breath that “Tax Reform” will even things out. I’m betting the Republicans will botch that, too.
I am put in mind of those wagons rolling into the Roman Coliseum loaded with bread, which flunkies throw into the crowd before the Bloodsport commences. We all know what happened to the Roman Empire. Are we there yet? My God, I hope not!
Maybe Jeff Sessions will stick a drainpipe in the Swamp. But only WE can drain the parasites and gators out of Congress. We need a bunch of Trey Gowdies!

TERM LIMITS. Two words that can go a very long way to fixing the problem we have in Washington. In the coming election, don’t vote for anyone who has been in office for more than 2 terms. “Drain The Swamp. Tripp Pittman, candidate for Senator from Alabama, says he will self limit himself to 2 terms in office. I like that idea. But, he will still get lifetime health benefits that way surpass the common man and a lifetime income of over $170,000. “We the people” must a least start with TERM LIMITS and get rid of the career politicians who could really care less about what’s good for America, because they have lost touch by only taking care of their own “in crowd” and forgetting the rest of us who actually pay for it. And we are running out of the money to pay for any more, so then What? Again, TERM LIMITS!!!!
I understand that while they are on their break, is the time to let them know how people really feel. I was thinking that a poster with the simple message of “Promises Broken” YOUR OUT! Might help get the message across. But then we are talking about politicians.
How about recall election on the RINO now. This might wake up some of the RINO.
Its time to give up on the Ballot Box, and time to pull out your amo-box , its time for a new American
Revolution!!!
John McCain
This piece of shit has always been the BIGGEST pile of FAKE NEWS even before Viet Nam. Read his Navy service records. If it wasn’t for his Grand dad and Father he would have never been aloud to even become a pilot. The man almost caused an international incident by crashing his aircraft into main powerlines while “Doing Stunts” ! Then, he is the only guy to ever shoot down a fellow pilot and aircraft all while still being on the deck of an U S aircraft carrier. Reports state that again he wasn’t following correct flight ops and caused the incident by firing his afterburner while still waiting in the flightline on deck. The accident caused the deaths of many of his fellow Navy service members but he seemingly was never held responsible…just transferred so he could be someone else’s problem.Then he got his own ass shot down during a raid all because he DIDN’T follow flight ops and flew too low and encountered ground fire, not a missile like he has tried to claim over and over. Then the TRAITOR sold out his country to the NVA, there is also proof that he was never tortured, his injuries happened when he BAILED OUT INCORRECTLY…yup, he couldn’t even bail out of his own airplane the right way. The BASTARD gave the enemy all the tactile info about our flight operations and then made at least 10 propaganda films for them. I know, I was in country at the time and saw the films for myself…..After he spilled his guts, the North started shooting down our aircraft at a never before rate of success all because he GAVE them the info.
After he came home and got elected, he spent much of his time getting bills passed to block access to records from that period so that he could carry on his campaign of LIES and DECEIT
that he has carried on to this very day. John McCain is the brain child of FAKE NEWS, and if you spend very little time reading the public records available, you sure won’t think that he is anywhere even close to being anything anyone could ever look up to. His entire personna is a manufactured lie made up by his career military family and the political machine that feeds us all this misinformation to deceive us…the American people. Make no mistake about it, JOHN McCain is no hero…read what his fellow
POW’s had to say…maybe you’ll believe them, not the propaganda that McCain has spewed out of his ass all these years.
I hope he rots in Hell forever, just like he deserves.
That “WINK” he gave Shummer wasn’t the first time he has betrayed us, Now , finally the time has come for him to “Pay the Piper”.
The world is a better place WITHOUT John “The Songbird” McCain. Traitor Then, Traitor Now
Oh, but I ‘ll bet he doesn’t have any trouble getting his almost free healthcare while the rest of us are getting raped by him and his cronies.
I can’t wait until he’s gone for good………..
The house members and the senate members, and as you can see everything is in lower case because i have zero respect for either of them. These people are nothing but a bunch of lying, deceitful, cowards hiding behind their constitutes, and unwilling to stand up and be counted for America. Look who is pushing for a one payer system now. The lying cretins we all voted for, you remember the ones that begged us for the power to repeal and replace obama care. Now you can’t tell them apart from the dems. Everyone that voted no should be recalled to their state and replaced, on the grounds of treason against the the American people. They are posers and don’t feserve our trust any longer. Every politician that has been in washington more than two terms surely has proven they are only lining their own pockets, for they have done nothing else. President Trump is the only one actually working for and with the American people.
Gowdy & Co. are the problem. His tirades give people hope, then he disappears & nothing happens – ever! Give me one Gowdy accomplishment!
According to Ken Buck’s book, very committee member must pay the RNCC & Dem DNCC for their position. Committee members pay at least $450,000, Speaker pays $20 million!
They raise money from anywhere they can!
I will be in touch with a representative by phone shortly.
It has taken them decades to get these parasitic traitors in place within our government. It will take something extremely revolutionary to get them out. What use to be the punishment for treason? The cockroaches are imbedded deep within our (now their) system and I’m afraid it will take an act of God to remove them. I changed my party decades ago from democrat to republican because I saw the writing on the wall back then. As soon as I find a true American party, I will be removing my affiliation with the repubican party as well – they’ve turned into a party of spineless bastards and they have become part of the problem instead of the solution. The joke is on the American people and the American sheeple are not seeing the big picture while they are helping to destroy this great country of ours. If we keep on the same path, we will become a slave society serving the elite which I believe is their ultimate world plan.
We definitely need Devine intervention before the culling begins. Trump can’t restore our constitution and our country when surrounded by traitors. Obama spent his entire term setting this country up to fall and they fully expected Clinton to move in and deliver the death blow to us. Unfortunately President Trump is only a stumbling block to them to delay their ultimate plans. The country needs more than just a patriotic American President to set things back on the course our forefathers had envisioned – a free society. The country needs a free people to stand up and say ENOUGH! These traitors are NOT above the laws that the rest of us have to abide by. They need to be held accountable and if our elected officials can’t or won’t do it then we need to get some real patriots in office. If we can’t do that, the American revolution will look like child’s play compared to what’s in store for us all.
You probably don’t need to hear my comments regarding the house & senate – I have little positive to say about the majority of them, especially McConnell, RYAN and definitely not Shumer or Pelosi.
I do have a question… When did this mass corruption begin? Has it always been a part of being a politician?
Perhaps corrupt behavior has always been a part of that world & now it is an accepted, maybe expected, practice.
I wonder how much longer before our streets resemble those in Venezuela.
I suspect most of us are viewed as too ignorant to do anything to stop the madness. Fortunately, I’m fairly certain that “we the people” are more powerful & prepared than those in the Washington bubble ever imagined.
Our President may not be perfect but I believe he is a Patriot who loves the USA. Let’s face it, if those mired in the sewer were not afraid of him & his agenda, they would not be trying so hard to discredit him and his family.
In closing, if this Country is forced into socialized medicine, it will be one of the biggest mistakes ever made.
I have friends in Australia, England & a couple other countries. They can not believe we are dumb enough to sit back and allow this to happen.
Thank you.
Let’s call it the Affordable Care Act, being the name, ‘ObamaCare’ brings a negative connotation. The ACA just needs fixing. We need to stablelize the insurance markets as a start. Thank you!
I agree with about everything you say.
If the US does not back and support Israel then the US is dust,,
although i lean more towards the middle, i would be glad to see some new republican faces and hear their ideas in 2018. i dont vote the party-line….i vote by what i think is right. people are too inclined to dismiss an opinion because its different and close their ears and minds to what others have to say. that goes for both republicans and democrats. dont give up on what you know is right but lets go back to when people would talk and listen without violence.
Frank,
Lurch Murkowski is a shill for the leftists. Since she was just re-elected, she has 5 and 1/2 more years to do damage to the country.
I predict she will run as a Democrat in order to keep Mark Begich out of the running, next time.
I agree ! We are getting rid of many! No more fake Republicans!!!
Obama care is destroying the good people of the U.S.. Medicaid is a safety net not a hand out. The people need to stand firm behind the Trey Gowdy’s. Changing parties is NOT an option. We need to pick our reps better—and motivate the ones we have.
I would vote for Trey Dowdie
If something is broken, you throw it away. If something is rotten, you dispose of it immediately. If something is going to and already has hurt thousands of people, your principles dictate you destroy it. I can’t but you can; please do so and save the people.
Yes clean out GOP swamp.
Pat Robertson on the 700 club told us why the Republican Senators do not repeal Obama-care. In 2013 they passed it with special provisions that they have a better plan. This was done by making the Congress and Senate private companies. As private companies they get better plans and up to $12,000 other assistance for their plans. We all need to call our Senators and let them know we are tired of them telling lies and we need to vote them out.
This is EXACTLY how I feel. The “republican” party will no longer get my support or my vote. They made their choice. Now I’m making mine.
You could not have said it better. Those renegade Repubs are headed for the “political cliff” and not a day too soon
I have been a Republican my whole life. I also served 20 years in the US Navy and I am very proud of that. I think that if Trump wasn’t our president, Obama Care would be gone by now. He is our problem. He doesn’t give a crap about anyone but himself. When the GOP wakes up and realizes that and stop kissing his ass and get him out of the White House, we will be better off. Pence will be a much better Presudent. He has disrespected a lot of people, even people in his own cabjnet. Like I said, he doesn’t give a crap about nobody but himself. When wr all wake uo and realize that and get him out of there, we will be much better off. Trump has never been a Republican his entire life. He has always been a liberal. He ran for the Republican Party to get to thr White House.
Let’s get this new party started. Many of us are all aboard. Where to start?
So many of us are disgusted with the republicans and want to start a new party! Don’t know how to get it started? We need help.
I know it seems like liberals, moderates, and conservatives all exist within the republican party, and it seems like they have to work across the isle within there own party and can’t. It’s as if they have to be bipartisanship to get anything done, It’s supposed to be partisanship within one party. It’s just pathetic. Sick of it!
The Democratic are hoping the electorate will blame Trump for the debacle. But everyone with half a brain sees that it is the career entrenched politicians on both sides that are doing this.
Hopefully they will all be replaced with true public spirited conservative Republicans. If not, start looking for the bread wagon.
I am so ashamed of my senator Mitch McConnel.that I could actually spit in his face and kick him in the ass. He is nothing but a piece of crapp. He must work for Obama? No more votes for him from our family. He is Done!!!
I have been a registered republican for years, however I have seen what happens when one party dominates a state, like Texas and Illinois. The ? Is not Obama care or trump care it is we have to get back to both parties working together listen to what McCain is saying and a smarter man said the Same thing Ike
Need to get rid of Polosi and blind leaders like the leaders of the house and senate we need compromis to fix serious issues I am tired of party first instead of church, family and country
How much and who is paying for the lawyers on the witch hunt about Russia
How much and who is paying for these lawyers on the witch hunt about the. Russian collusion
What you have written is ALL TRUE, especially the crooks part. Too many (career) politicians have been in Congress too long. Our Founding Fathers were farmers, business men, professional men who could no longer stand for the Status Qou. They put aside their own lives to work for the betterment of ours. Then a new career path was found for what has become Socially Acceptable GANGS OF CROOKS, called POLITICAL PARTIES. Read Washington’s farewell to Congress, to see what he thought of the “party system” of government and you will understand the problems WE have been voting into office time and time again!
Not only do we need term limits, but I think there should be a mandatory “retirement” age of 67. The American people need new ideas and young blood to uphold our Constitution.
First of all,the non-war hero pussy bastard john mccain treasonous traitor is so old,I think he is dead already and don’t know it yet.He needs to GO.Along with Pussy paul ryan and others like you said who are holding things up for a better US.These rinos need to be put out to pasture.
Obama care tries to make everyone pay for health care….otherwise the people who don’t pay and don’t care or deserve it…drag the system down…people still pay by welfare…the true prob9 is that health care as prevention is fairly simple..but I have a lot of student loans to pay..and I profit of your. s tupid..oddity .why should I make you take a test before you procreate
People need to understand that being alive…is the war against death…it used to cost 20 dollars for a strep throat test …..now it costs 60 dollars….only health care can call you a dumb ass and you will smile back
