A few weeks ago Republicans (who run both houses of
Congress, by the way) fully funded Obamacare for another year, and today House
Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare in its entirety. Stated differently, recently Republicans
handed Obama the money to fully implement Obamacare (and in the process further
destroy healthcare in America), yet today they symbolically voted to repeal
Obamacare (which they know will not survive an Obama veto).
So what the hell are these fools doing with this
symbolic vote that means nothing after they’ve given Obama the money to
actually do what they pretend to oppose? And please be informed that I have no
problem with the vote to repeal, it’s what they should do whether or not Obama
can block it, but they could have absolutely prevented Obama from implementing
Obamacare if they had denied him the money to do so.
And don’t say that they could not withhold funds from
Obama because that would have left them open to criticism by Democrats for
shutting down the government. If
Republicans had any sense and any guts, and if they really understood the
difference between right and wrong, they would have shut down the damned
government by withholding all funding for all of the liberal, destructive
programs the budget will pay for. And also don’t suggest that Republicans just
want to play nice so the independent voters will like them, and so the Hispanic
voters will not think badly of them. Any
block of voters that has bought the liberal lie will not vote for a Republican,
and only a strong conservative stance on issues facing our nation will win the
vote of independents.
Unfortunately
establishment Republicans are not in that body of solid stance conservative
politicians.
