Also don't tell him filibusters* work both ways. ___________________________________________ * As satisfying as turnabout-is-fair-play would be, the filibuster is wildly un-democratic. Which the Senate itself amplifies with two votes per state regardless of population.

Repealing Obamacare means a return to the old system. People with pre-existing conditions die without health insurance. Mitch McConnell is bragging about how he'll turn the Senate into a Republican Death Panel.

Main goal for the GOPtards, at this stage, is to fiddle with some insignificant details, declare the ACA "fixed", and see if they can get the word "Obamacare" removed from the lexicon, now that millions of Americans have discovered that they like it.

It's the one weird trick that gets you elected, that he doesn't want you to know about.

I resent having to play the 'is he stupid or is he lying' game so often.
