Louis Gohmert and the Freedom Caucus apparently were left out of the healthcare bill-making process altogether.
Remember Rand Paul wandering the halls of Congress looking for the bill (kinda comical, but not r when you think about it)? Well, the Freedom Caucus finally read the bill, and it looks like that is more than we can say for some other Rs in Congress?
I was right to sense I was not the only one who didn’t “know what’s in it.” In other words, I figured all along that there were even others in Congress who didn’t know what was in it… either hadn’t read it, weren’t given the chance to read it, or didn’t bother to read it… whatever
I was encouraged to see that a few people at Fox News also did not like this new healthcare bill (the parts we did tend to understand), namely that guy named Clayton (mornings) and Eric Bolling.
I don’t get those who act like we just experienced a big failure. Huh?
Yes, just about anything is better than O-care (aka Frankencare) but something was not right… just totally not right.
I don’t think the Freedom Caucus could have stopped passage of the bill as they did without the American people behind them
So where is the “failure” here? People need to quit worrying and whining. The Dems, who couldn’t care less about how their idiotic, oppressive healthcare act has caused so much misery to so many Americans, were in a celebratory mood. BIZARRE!
Well, let them be happy for now… who cares? We have seen how they care more about defying Trump and other conservatives than doing what is right by the American people… It is all politics w/ them. Ms Loony-tunes Maxine Watters won’t speak to Trump.. so childish and immature and unproductive..
I say this “loss” was actually a success. Louis Gohmert said something (this morning) to the effect that the “loss” was evidence that God intervenes in human affairs. I was thinking the same thing.
As the president said, the Democrats own this 100%. And we can get a better bill later. A lot of people criticized the Freedom Caucus, saying such things as: they are ideological purists and etc.
Hmmm… well.. I didn’t know that was a mortal sin? Silly me.
Sure, if your “ideology” is goofy and politically correct (double-standardish, hypocritical, etc) like the liberals’ is, yeh… that kind of ideology causes huge problems--
I think maybe America came to a stop sign, and went in a direction no one expected, and took a hard right
They saw the PC nonsense for what it was: lunatic fringe. They stopped
They saw, with the last president and his incoherent policies vis a vis foreign affairs and economics and all the lunacy that entailed… and they put on the brakes and stopped (even Democrats)
They saw and more importantly FELT in the worst way the lunacy of bloated government and its ill effects on their lives (Obamacare). They came to a stop
And to me (am I wrong?), it looks like they took a hard right
