IDBillzFan Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Recognizing that the **** bill you're about to pass is, in fact, a **** bill and declining to vote on it is one of the bigger successes to come out of Congress in the past 20 years. Really...I'm almost encouraged. It's the most mature thing I've seen from the Hill in ages. I completely agree. They'll take their lumps in the media, but the last time a bunch of elected sheep passed a **** bill because they were unable to think for themselves, they woke up in charge of, well, you know.... This won't hurt the right NEAR as much as the left hopes. It'll just take time for their whining to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinreaper Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That must be why the Democrats are celebrating this as a win today. Trump said he was going to repeal Obamacare and replace it simultaneously with something better, period. Blaming this on the Democrats is one of the stupidest !@#$ing things I've ever read on this site. Are you really this dense? I just told you what Trump should have done to force the Dems hand to go along with this bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the most mature thing I've seen from the Hill in ages. true but unfortunately i dont think they deserve credit. this was a mistake, this is not what they intended. they certainly backed into any 'mature' decisions here the best we can say is the system worked, for once. now we'll see if we are finally ready to work together to bring good hc to the most successful country in human history Edited March 24, 2017 by Meathead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinreaper Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Realizing that their bait and switch wasn't going to work does not show success or anything. This bill was one of the most evil, mean spirited, cynical things I have ever seen. Getting those poor whites to vote for him and then turning around and f***ing them over was pure class warfare against the people of the country. And all those Republicans were for it?? Tells me a lot about Republicans in leadership. Divide and conquer is obviously their strategy. Just evil What's the matter, did you not get your period again?

I just told you what Trump should have done to force the Dems hand to go along with this bill.Are you really that much of a partisan hack? It was the Republicans who couldn't agree on this today, you moron. I want you to come back here and apologize when Trump and his cronies start to work with the Dems to fix Obamacare. The ACA was a bad piece of legislation, and it was forced through. No one is arguing that. But what have we heard the past seven years? Replace and repeal. You, Trump, and Paul Ryan are a joke.

gatorbait Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I've lurked on this website since I was 18 years old, over 11 years ago. I used to stick to only football, now I'm getting interested in politics. That spells bad news for you slim peeper, because it's pretty easy to make you look like a !@#$ing dumbass.

Meathead Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) This is the worst outcome for the Dems. They will be saddled with the ACA as it dies away while being responsible for no new healthcare plan. Trump should have been openly and loudly courting the Dems throughout this process. If he had, it might have passed. Now we have no new plan and the R's were 85% in favor of it while the Dems had zero backing for it. Shame on you Dems. this is a massively naive statement. several levels first, nobody but nooobody is going to own health care but the republicans. the narrative that somehow dems will be responsible for a total republican gubmint not being able to manage the ONLY healthcare system available will ALWAYS be blamed on them. they are the top dogs, they have it all, they OWN it all. trying to push this on democrats is weak and will fail. its hysterical that anyone thinks otherwise, but thats partisanship next, theres absolutely no way the democrats were going to vote for anything near this disaster, even if trump had tried to include them, theres no way they would bridge the enormous gap of massive restructuring that would end up looking a lot like the ACA. thats not even mentioning the gross partisanship and overt warring that has been going on for the last decade. if theres was ever to be an olive branch extended to the dems it would never be right now on this legislation bc the two sides are diametrically opposed on hc philosophy this is an enormous win for the democrats right here. now they will be part of the process. i agree with the don that it will be when the ACA 'explodes', but ppl will be blaming him not the dems, which will drive HIM to the table with them. the dems technically have nothing but now they have a real chance to be part of the next attempt to deliver quality hc in america reminder: im not a partisan democrat. i voted republican last two potus elections. this is just fact Edited March 24, 2017 by Meathead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in complete agreement also..............this was a good move and certainly it will be addressed again soon. The only problem with agreeing..........................is now Baskin / Spurt / Gator / or Pasta will swoop in and use the "circle jerk" phrase that seems (oddly) enduring to them.
