Paul Ryan's morning wood: House votes today on Obamacare

It's his Ayn Rand "the suffering are best left to suffer" dream come true, his moment in the sun on the shining city on the hill.

This is the day he's dreamed of, waited for, fantasized over.

May he burn in hell.

I'm sick to death at the way this country is headed. Like a freight train with no brakes.

First the ACA, that people like, but they hate "ObamaCare", will go away with no replacement on the books. Next will be Medicare, Medicare, WIC, then move on to Social Security.

My mother is on Social Security, she's 85, my brother, who has been battling cancer for 6 years and me. I broke my back 10 years ago and can no longer work, despite this devestating accident I haven't committed suicide from the loss of work, kickboxing, driving in a car.
Depressed much?

This bastard is going to kill how many people? I'll being seeing him hell.
