Conservatives control DC, yet cannot repeal Obamacare

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

For seven years all we heard from Conservatives was that they were going to "repeal and replace" Obamacare with someone so wonderful, they had to vote 60+ times in order to do it. Now that they have control of DC for the first time since 2003, their "replacement plan" is nowhere to be found. What the hell have they been doing for seven years? Where's this wonderful replacement plan? And furthermore, where are all their economic and jobs plans they said were so wonderful? It's been 8 years folks...if they don't have something by now, they never will.

Politicians lie

Trouble is, politics in the USA is today much more about trashing the opposite side, than it is about governing.
And, especially in the Republican camp, the 'opposition' is often the factions in their own party. No wonder they can't get stuff done.

So you think it is better if it is crammed through in the first 100 days regardless of how good it is? I would rather have them get it right (as much as they are able to actually get something right) and have it take longer than just do it to say they did it.

They had 7 years to get it right. Whats the frigging holdup?

They were waiting for the Kenyan to move out with his veto pen and phone. I thought that fairy would take over as dicktator.

They arent fit to make decisions if they werent working on a plan. No wonder the under educated voted for them.

All Republicans are conservatives now? If so then Obamacare would be repealed.

100 days? They had seven years to come up with something. Unless the last 7 years was all sound and fury, signifying nothing? What were they doing the last 7 years? Pretending to oppose Obamacare?

I would rather have them get it right

Well there's your problem; you are assuming they can do anything right. As we've seen, Conservatives have no idea how to do anything, let alone govern. Seven years is a long time...why were they not working on and polishing a plan in that time? The answer is obvious; the "repeal and replace" talk was all for show, to sucker morons into voting for them by spreading lies. That's why there's no health care plan, despite 7 years of promises.

And that goes for Jobs bills too.

Well it's interesting that you took part of my post out, specifically:

(as much as they are able to actually get something right)

As far as suckering morons to vote for them, how do you explain everyone who voted for Hillary, the biggest fucking liar of them all? Democrats have absolutely ZERO credibility to rail on the Republicans, they sabotaged themselves by putting up a candidate that is as corrupt as they come. Along with the DNC, who sabotaged poor old Bernie.

Who said anything about liberals? I described democrats. Anything but liberal.

Again, labels matter little.

 

[The Derp]

That's OK. It'll work out. Think of it as trying to get a 14 year old to give up his pacifier.

So....faith? There's that word again...I'm kinda done hinging expectations on faith.

 

[The Derp]

But they've been voting to repeal Obamacare since 2011. You mean to tell me all those Obamacare repeal votes were just for show????

[ll it's interesting that you took part of my post out, specifically:(as much as they are able to actually get something right)

Not sure your point here. 7 years isn't enough time to get something right? How does that excuse the fact that the GOP has had seven years to come up with a replacement, and they haven't? All that means is that the GOP was pulling your leg on Obamacare repeal. The truth is they have no plan because Obamacare was their plan. Obama beat them to it by proposing it first. If McCain had won in 2008 instead of Obama, and if he decided to tackle health care reform, it would have looked exactly like Obamacare, which was basically Romneycare, which was basically the Heritage Foundation's counter-proposal to Hillarycare in the 90's.

But don't sweat the details.

Please stop crying crocodile tears for Bernie. We know Conservatives would have been just as slimy against him as they were against Hillary, even resorting to collude with a foreign power. Would that collusion had been as successful? Who knows. No one here is defending the Democratic Party, but that is still no excuse for lack of an Obamacare replacement for the repeal they had been voting to do since 2011.

Politicians lie

Well, some lie more than others. Seven years of lies is what the GOP has to account for now. It's inexcusable that the GOP had no replacement plan ready to go. The fact they didn't proves they were posturing on ACA repeal. And you fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

Well, only one party has any desire to govern. The GOP is the party of anti-government. As PJ O'Rourke said, "Conservatives say government is the problem, then get elected and prove it."

All Republicans are conservatives now? If so then Obamacare would be repealed.

Republican = Conservative = Teabag = "Libertarian" = Klansmen

There may be different polishes, but it's still the same turd.

They're just different shades of lipsticks on the same, smelly pig.

Simply because you cannot grasp the differences does not mean that there are no differences, idiot.

Welcome to my ignore list.

I dont have time for stupid asses like yourself.

There are no differences. That's the point. And putting me on ignore only means you are an ignoramus, unwilling to have your fragile views challenged. Such a snowflake!!

<impotent meme>

There is no difference between the ghouls on the right-wing. You can all pretend you are called something different but the same, fundamental belief structure remains unchanged depending on the label. Conservatives are so consumed with no accountability, that they distance themselves from their failures after their failures become apparent. There's always an excuse that results in an exclusion...apparently everyone is "Conservative" until some random goofball arbitrarily declares they aren't. That's shifting the goalposts, friend.

You're confusing Conservative and Republican; there's a difference

He knows it. This is just more of the same effort to tie anyone they disagree with to failure. It is the same when they try to make Trump out to be conservative when clearly is is not.

Different shades of shit, but still ultimately shit.

LOL! Everyone is a Conservative until they arbitrarily determine they're not. This is called moving the goalposts. You're the ones who elected Trump and the Conservatives to control in DC. What have they done with that control? Nothing. Why? Because they are impotent.
