"My successes are my own, but my failures are due to extremist leftist liberals" - Party of Personal Responsibility
Prediction for the future
And once again Republicans drag the country backwards.
Fuck you middle America. Fuck you.
The speech was one of those moments where you wonder how much that cancer actually did do to his brain. You can't cry about how partisan politics are destroying the senate's ability to do business when it's your own party that has control of all three branches, and is steamrolling the actual people of America to pass bills that benefit no one but the Congressmen in that room or the people who pay the Congressmen in that room.
Yeah, this is going to go down pretty hard on Republicans. A recent poll showed at least 60% of Americans now view Republicans responsible for any failures of the ACA, and another showed only 12% of Americans approve of the Senate healthcare bill. Fucking. 12. Percent. At least they'll be holding the right people responsible for what happens now.
Glad our "Maverick" came back to vote on a bill that most Republicans and especially him have no idea what is in it.
They barely got 50 votes just to continue debating. That means, they need a plan that every single one of them can agree on, and also, isn't stuck by procedures such as reconciliation.
Nothing unusual has happened in this regard so far.
They've proven that the only way to even to continue to talk about their bill is to hide it. Winning?
