Boehner Really Came Off Looking Like An Uninformed Ass Yesterday On....

the CBS Sunday Morning News Show. He kept repeating the same things and every time he was pushed for a better answer it just looked and sounded like he didn't know the first thing about health care. The Repugs really don't have a substitute plan or anything better for ACA and they are coming off looking like complete asses.

Their only "plan" is to get rid of Obama, and that's currently failing epically.

very hard at all at giving such an impression, has he?

Never mind that he has excellent health care that hardly costs him anything at all, and where he doesn't have to worry about pre-existing conditions or the kind of coverage issues that the rest of us must constantly struggle with, and thanks to the very taxpayers he's trying to prevent being able to have the same thing, or even basic decent coverage.

I asked my reactionary teabagger congresscritter's office why hubby and I are paying our taxes for HER health care, when she's doing her best to repeatedly squawk the RW talking points on ACA (she can't think for herself, so she simply repeats memes and talking points regardless of what's asked ) and to prevent our being able to get decent insurance, when WE pay for HERS. Silence and crickets, of course.

4. Doesn't Matter How Assinine Or Ignorant They Are

It does not seem to matter how ignorant, stupid, racist, bigoted or nuts the GOP is. This election is still supposed be close. The media will coddle them and support them while dissing Democrats or progressives. And with 90% of hate radio on their side not to mention all the fascist millionaires and billionaires many Americans will believe campaigns ALL based on lies, racism and bigotry. The public will still believe there is NO global warming as people roast.

When someone like "turtle" says that 30 million uninsured is irrelevant it should be election over all across the board. Yet it is really stunning how many people believe that having so many people uninsured is ok. That these people are lazy free loading slackers who God looks down upon because they are NOT believers. We are more than a country divided. We are a country at war with itself over to irreconcilable ideologies that cannot exist at the same time.

Now we have GOP that has said it will NEVER NEVER NEVER let the country move forward on ANYTHING unless it is the ONLY PARTY and it is in power. I do not know where we can go from here.

5. They have been saying "REPEAL IT"

you haven't heard one sumbitch say "Replace" They never had any intention of replacing it with anything...Conservatives LOVE the status quo.

They used this same "Song and Dance show" during the 2010 election....you see any legislation regarding healthcare pending? (Jobortion restrictions excluded)

Their base is so ignorant...the GOP party believes they can dust off that same slogan, but they are more careful this time...REPEAL OBAMACARE! <<< you see the word replace anywhere?

6. Romney said "replace"

But how excited will their base be to replace Obama-care with Romney-care? I think that is why they just say repeal. Truth is Romney wouldn't change a thing on ACA except maybe the name.

I wonder what their message would be if ACA was still called Romney-care -- "Elect Romney to repeal Romney-care" ?
