They need to be chanting "save our Obamacare" not "save our healthcare!" People need to hear Obama's name so everyone knows that it's something that Obama did that everyone wants to keep!

Those are the Washingtonians that voted for the Dictator. They are the ones who voted for their health care to go away. I do not know how bad I feel for them...I will think about it.

These early public events in the tRump era may well set the tone for
many encounters in many districts.

Good real old-fashioned grassroot resistance!

winds up persona non grata in their own districts, scared shitless of what they may face there. Let 'em hole up in Washington with their buddies and eat fish head stew from a communal pot, for all I care.

That's a good start to this legislative session.

Years ago it was Tea Partiers doing this kind of thing. Well, Repukes, Dems were taking notes. Now that you're going too far - it's time to get pushed back hard.

She was elected (or re-elected) this past November. Did she not have the R after her name on the ballot?

Yes, I'm rather glad to see what happened here, but how the fuck was she elected (or re-elected) in the first place?

Many robotic Republican voters out there who blindly vote R by habit. It will take a number of incidents like this for the mass of right wing oriented locals to ask why it happened. But if it starts and keeps happening, eventually, even the robotic R voters will start to ask how come? And THAT is when the pendulum starts to swing the other way--it all starts with the first question. No question, no doubt, and no change.

you don't need to flip all of these voters. Just 2, 3 or 4 out of every 100 and it will make a huge difference overall.

listening to her "God is good" sanctimony and platitudes about being their "advocate and friend" while conniving to steal their affordable health care and colluding with those who will poison their environment and impoverish their old age. I hope her colleagues see this video and take it to heart. As the crowd said, "Save our healthcare!"

It was a pretty uninspired delivery too.
We need a petition to take away healthcare for federal elected officials if this happens.

Her in laws are much better people, lol. Her father in law was a quiet man who was mayor of Spokane in the Eisenhower wing of the party. Her sister in law was a friend and classmate but I haven't seen her for 30 years.

McMorris-Rogers went to a right wing unaccredited college and is good at PR when no one is really looking at what is being said. She has a special needs children and receives a significant monthly stipend from the government. She wants her federal money but just wants to take it away from others.
