and congress wonders why their approval rating is below 10%
i get the GOP doesnt like the bill but what exactly does doing this for the 31st time accomplish? bad bill or not, congress is wasting time with these ceremonial acts to show how against the bill they are. its not that serious. find something else to focus your attention on, like say jobs and the economy and go running to the mics about your inability to pass anything in that department. this is all some game |
It's all political theater. When was the last time the Republicans put up an earnest proposal to help the country? There must be something, but not much comes to mind. |
GREAT idea let give healthcare over site and enforcement to these guys, i mean what could go wrong?

Regardless of whether you think it's a good idea or not, it's a waste of time to pass a repeal bill 31 times when you know the repeal will go nowhere in the Senate. They might as well outlaw cancer. I'm against cancer too, but I'm not under the illusion that the House of Representatives can do anything to stop it. |
You mean the states, the ones who actually do this? |
The IRS description was a reference to a provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires Americans not insured by their employers or Medicaid to buy health insurance or pay an annual penalty when filing their tax returns. The provision, known more broadly as the individual mandate, was the subject of a multi-state lawsuit, but was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Governor-says-IRS-new-gestapo-in-radio-address.html |
Not sure what you are talking about, because the earlier link was discussing unemployment benefits, which are dispensed by state agencies. So the failure to administer it correctly is theirs. But in the case of the ACA, the IRS' sole authority is to fine those without insurance. They don't actually administer health care. The worst error they could make is to not fine someone who should have been fined. |
John Boehner and his Republicans & Tea Party types like to get together for some good old fashioned mental masturbation. Appaently these jerk offs really get off on doing nothing that has any value.

Duh.,.gop is anti-tax and will repeal a huge tax laden monstrosity. It's called giving voters a stark choice and probably a winning choice. |
What is the Republican alternative to Obamacare? |
REPEAL AND REPLACE... with something, I think we have something over there. Hey Bob, someone wants to know what we replace it with... well do you have a handout? ... ok, can you email him or something?..... OK, I spoke to our health care team. Let me take down your address and we will email you an answer shortly... What?...Oh Bob, ahem I mean our health care team, says December at the earliest} |
Romneycare Just about the same thing, but the glory goes to someone else |
GOP doesn't care about governing. they care about politics. Plus, Romney backed the exact same thing in Mass. |
GOP thinks people should govern themselves...freedom, works every time! |
Do the Rebuplicans think this silly political theater will produce a positive reaction. |
