Re: OK GOP. You win
Worked fine for me. The article in the link says, "Rep. Mo Brooks files bill to repeal Obamacare"
Here's a link directly to the bill text:

Re: OK GOP. You win
I think that bill has already been dismissed as just being symbolic. No way something as simple and to the point would ever get through Congress. Plus, it would do too much damage to the Washington cronies that benefit from Obamacare.

Re: OK GOP. You win
That's ALL they had to do, and they couldn't even do that.And the bill uses just one sentence to do it.
"Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted," the bill states.
And that's it - one sentence.
Will someone please explain to me what a congressman is actually useful for?

Re: OK GOP. You win
The republicans voted at least six times to repeal Obamacare back when they knew it wouldn't pass. Then when they actually could pass it, they fumble. Looking at how each one voted before and then didn't do anything when they could get results should be very revealing.

Re: OK GOP. You win
I spoke with my line manager Monday and turned in my resignation. He wanted to know why, so I explained it's not about him or the company. I'm not going to work for a competitor; I'm taking a sabbatical until the Republicans repeal Obamacare and reform the tax system to make work worthwhile. He said, "you mean you're retiring." Could be.tbrown wrote:I mean that literally. I already drafted my letter of resignation and will turn it in Monday.
I originally planned on two weeks but he asked me to stay through 4/15 to ease the transition. So that's the plan.
We now return to your regularly scheduled RINO bashing.

Re: OK GOP. You win
The primaries are over. The GENERAL election is next month. Now, let's make this clear, I'm not saying Republicans are perfect by any means, and goodness knows they've screwed up more than a few times. However, compared to the Democrat Socialist Party, the Republicans still look sane, by and large. This is a firearms-related forum, and I have no problems telling which party really wants to disarm us, and prevent us from defending ourselves with firearms; the Democrat Socialist Party does. I refuse to vote Democrat, nor will I sit out the election, I'm voting Republican.

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
