I’d do a joke asking whether cancer is contagious or not, but then I’d run the risk of being ostracized by people I really don’t give a sh*t about.
The Senate voted Wednesday afternoon against a proposal that would repeal major portions of Obamacare without a replacement legislation.
Senators voted 55-45 against the measure in a procedural vote Wednesday, which likely signals that a full, clean repeal that conservatives are pushing for could not pass the legislative body.
Seven Republicans voted against the measure, including: Sens. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, Dean Heller of Nevada, John McCain of Arizona, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
Senators voted against a proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare Tuesday evening, called the Better Care Reconciliation Act. The measure failed to pass the procedural vote litmus test, garnering 57 no votes.
Lamar Alexander is, unfortunately, my MegaRINO Senator. I voted against this snot wad who, btw, couldn’t carry his home county in 2014 and lost 28 others to his challenger for whom I voted. If he were truly representing the people of TN, he would vote to kill Obamacare. With. Fire.
Oh, to recall this arrogant jerk and put him out to pasture…..
Orchestrated by McCONnell.
Leaderless GOP Senate.
Promise the moon during the election, deliver sewage after.
Seven RINOs that need to go
As this process goes on there will be a lot more than seven. Consider what John Boehner has been saying all along. Eric Cantor basically said the same thing today.

This is the pack of mongoloid dogs. T/hey have never been elected and are responsible to nobody. These cretins need to return home in the worst way. A recall might also be in order!
I am so disgusted by this Republican Party that I cannot clearly state how angry I am right now.
Good god.
Fire mcturtles wife. Maybe that will get his attention.
Oh yeah, they exempted themselves from Odumbocare. Scum of the earth.
Right now I’m so mad at the bunch of them ! I hope that they are all buried in their home states so that their voters can pay homage … with a ‘golden shower’.
Standard operating procedure for the republican party, promise, promise, promise, and when the chance arises to fulfill said promises, piss on the toes of the constituency. Pretty much never fails.
Color me surprised……..not!
I wonder if there is an easy way to see how many of them voted for the repeal when 0bozo was president and they knew it wouldn’t be signed.
Another Wave election coming up. They just don’t get it.
In short – worthless PsOPPS
This bunch wants to lose control of the Senate, and they all plan on being there in the minority when some other Republicans get voted out. They will sign, say or suck anything to keep their seats. Remember Thad Cochran.
I have a count-down calendar on my wall, marking the days until I can vote out Lamar. I’m sure he will play his usual tricks, but with any luck, TN can be rid of the bastard.
Infuriating but unsurprising.
That legislation proposal needs a catchier name.
STomp On Obamacare Like a Spider, or STOOLS Act.
Well, we tried the ballot box first……
I try to eliminate a RINO at least once a day.
Fiber helps.
I looked up Collins and murkowski. First isn’t up for reelection until 2020. Murkowski 2022. I don’t know about the rest,but I suspect a similar reelect date. Meaning they don’t give a damn what voters think and suspect their memories of this betrayal will have long passed. It’s worked for McCain for decades.
Look on the bright side: soon it will only be 6.
geez Page, that’s cold.
I got a fundraising letter from the GOP today.
Filled it out with an “FU”.
Addressed it to Chair Ronna McDaniel at
301 1st St SE, Wash, DC 20003.
Told her SHE WAS Ryan, McConnell, McCain, et al…
and the GOP can go to hell until they
support President Trump’s agenda.
Results. Or GTFO.
The GOP leadership NEVER INTENDED to repeal Obamacare. Every time they said they wanted to repeal it THEY WERE LYING. Every Republican Senator who votes against the repeal IS A LIAR. Call them and tell them WE’RE TIRED OF BEING LIED TO. Both parties want all health care paid by the taxpayers, and all health care workers civil servants.
Yertle won’t do it but why can’t they be punished in the senate such as stripping them of seniority and committees seems to me that’s what dems do.
Even half dead that McCain is out to screw the American people…..he’ll never croke…..
Elimination Time……..that has a nice ring to it. That’s probably what it’s going to take. Wasn’t it a Tom Clancy novel that had a pilot fly a 747 into the Capital Building and wiped out half of congress? That is almost worth considering.
So easy for Trump to have OMB revoke the Obamacare exemption for Congress. Already went through the courts. He just needs a pen. Why is he waiting?
I cannot express how angry I am about the GOP…I’m almost ready to just let The Left win and watch it all burn down
It’s time to flush these turds down the toilet.
The election of Trump stopped the bleeding. It did not cure the body politic of its corruptioin. The real cure is to purge the Senate body of every member in 2018, 2020, & 2022. Every one of them. The club needs to be primaried out of existance. They are laughing at you.
Electing democracts because you are pissed at republicans is not an option.
The government giveth
and</strike but the government can't taketh away.They sure don't have that problem with the Bill of Rights.
Try again.

Still waiting on Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3!!!!!
Obamacare isn’t going away for the last freek’n time.
The only way it’s going away is to let it implode.
WTF MOVE ON TO TAXES.
Neither here nor there: Ever notice how Lisa Merkowski’s expression is an upside-down grin?
