Obamacare Lite is out!

[Jarod]

There's a political reality and Republicans would get run out of office if that happened.

And that is the irony, they built this strawman about Obamacare that they tricked people into hating, and got elected to knock it down, but people dont want it knocked down when they look at the reality.

The same could happen by not repealing Obamacare though. It's why they should follow their principles and answer to their constituents that elected them for those principles and not to a president or a party in my opinion. I'd happily choose to lose an election if it meant following my principles.

People recognize the damage it has done, especially to our economy. But when gov't gives you things it's hard to take them away. Democrats know this and play to it.

This is the problem about getting elected on a false wedge issue, its unsustainable. You cant stay in office.

What they can and cant do? You mean like who they can marry? What women can do with their bodies? What drugs they can and cant take? What pictures they can look at on the internet? Those kind of things, because it seems like that is Republicans...

I agree. I don't think the government should be involved in marriage, I think abortion should be a state matter, I believe the drug war and drug laws hurt more than they help. I'm not sure what you mean by the pictures on the internet though.

You think, I give the populace more credit than that. Obamacare needs some changes, but repeal, which is what the Repugs ran on is untenable to the American people.

Not every person who voted Republican did so based on repealing Obamacare.

It was their main rally call.

You think people aren't smart enough to see the damage it has done?

im sad that there is no price controls on drugs.

I personally think looking at porn is morally wrong but if you want to look at it you can. I don't believe it's the governments job to take on that issue.

Thats not what Rump ran on. Rump got elected promoting universal healthcare.

You are being dishonest. Yes he did tout universal healthcare, but to think that is what got him elected is disingenuous at best

I don't remember that campaign......did it parallel the one where he got elected promising the repeal of the ACA?.....

Spare me

you mean like what kind of light bulbs you can use? what kind of car you can drive?

If it were up to me, the government wouldn't be in the marriage business. I would eliminate the FDA. And I would have no restrictions on the internet.

You however love government control. You just like it better when YOUR side is controlling it. So again, spare me

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Rump promised government healthcare, just run better than when Obama ran it.

except, no....

/yawn.....dishonesty runs through your veins like your very lifeblood......if you tell the truth do you melt like a vampire in sunlight?.....

He did promise healthcare that would cover everyone, which is not something most conservative republicans would promise, although he never went into detail about what that meant to him.
