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.

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.

Everyone blames Obama, I say it's PROOF that they need to be reigned in.
Fuckers will bleed me dry.

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.

(429 posts)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.

"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."

(6,279 posts)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).
