Breitbart: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the former chairman of the Freedom Caucus, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that GOP lawmakers should “act like Republicans — let’s simply repeal Obamacare.”
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and other members of the Freedom Caucus filed a discharge petition on Friday to repeal Obamacare. The discharge petition, if it receives 218 signatures in the House, would force lawmakers to vote on a clean repeal bill of Obamacare. The clean repeal legislation was drafted by Rep. Jordan, which passed the House and the Senate in 2015. The bill, H.R. 1436, would repeal most parts of Obamacare by the end of 2018. read more
This reminds me of the Monty Python bit about the philosophers playing soccer. The whole game they just walk around the field mumbling to themselves and with minutes to go one of them screams “Eurkia!” runs for the ball, dives it down field and scores an undefended goal.
I’ve been saying all along just take of of the 5 versions they sent to Obama and send it to Trump and there will be much rejoicing in the party.
Jim Jordon heard his constituents long ago and he agreed with them. Repeal Obamacare, stop the funding.
Oh HAIL yes. NOW!
But but but they have to keep their phony baloney jobs! If they sign a repeal, there will be nothing left over the public’s head!
We didn’t have the votes in 2015 and we don’t have them now. When will Jim Jordan enter the realm of reality? He SHOULD be advocating for refunding but he’s instead once again promulgating the FALSE premise that full repeal is possible via the U.S. Senate. It’s not and the worst part is he KNOWS it’s not. More disingenuous nonsense from the “Freedom Caucus”.
DE-funding NOT RE-funding. STOP funding the beast and it WILL die.
I know, but that won’t be possible with the handful of republicrats on our team.
CST, bringing it up to a vote would
1) show good willto the base (albeit cosmetic)
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
2) CLEARLY EXPOSE the traitors on the Right AND Left.
The last thing they ant is a recorded vote, they remind me of a bunch of clueless chickens in a coupe. It is hard to tell the Dimmicretins from the Republicretins, there all cretins!
Czar, they already voted on the exact same bill last month. This is a complete waste of time.
Yup it’s the Freedom Caucus’s fault again!
Waste of time to vote on the bill again? I think not.
America needs to know who the RHINO’s are. Ps. it’s not the Freedom Caucus Steve! How’s phase 1, 2 & 3 going? This is all bullshit.
It will implode on itself. Lower the tax rates and move the hell on.
The only way to kill big government is to starve it!
Obamacare is dying a slow death let her die!
Yet some are waiting for the Rhino’ss for phase 1,2 & 3. WTF?
Government solution to a problem government started yup that’s brilliant!
But wait for it… let’s blame the Freedom Caucus, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
Yup may as well make it an even 50 times voting for repeal.
Isn’t there some way to scuttle some arcane “rule” and have enough votes?
“Do what they said”
Not a common concept among most politicians, I’m afraid…
News flash @JTucker/Stalker/Saul Alinsky, Republicans have been funding Obamacare since HJRes-48 in March of 2011. It will never “die a slow death” so long as Republicans continue funding it. So, the whole charade by Jim Jordan is just that. A charade.
C Steven Tucker, I know you know this, but you’re wasting your time on your long lost cousin. Ignore that bull shit. 90% of us are depending on your 411. The rest worked in the motor pool for the Secret Service.
and yet everyday insurance companies pull out of every market. I would call that an implosion. The President himself said it was failing. Guess he’s not tell the truth. Obamacare is dying a slow death you and Brad are the only ones who think it’s not. Not related Brad. How long you two been dating? Brad you don’t like anyone else opinion? you sound like ANTIFA…
