Pro-Life Hypocrite Republicans Continue to Try and Kill "Obamacare"

… more than likely, not because it can't be improved … but because its name includes the word "OBAMA"!

And if Republicans kill "Obamacare," that's not all they'll kill!

Just about every time some right-winger decries "Obamacare" -- you can bet your ass he/she either gives an inaccurate rationale … has no idea that its repeal and replacement with "TRUMPCARE" might kill, bankrupt, and/or lead to his/hers or a loved one's demise …

Stick around and watch the comments, inaccurate/misrepresentative and/or outright lies about "The Affordable Care Act" -- the A.C.A. (That's right! Many, many Trump-voters who liked the sound of "We're going to get rid of Obamacare," HAD NO F'N CLUE THAT THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE -- A.C.A. HEALTH INSURANCE, AND OBAMACARE, WERE ONE-IN-THE-SAME!)

And now, a butt-kickin' 19% still think repealing Obamacare is a good idea!

WOW! 19%!

Hey "poorly-educated-low-information-voters" who Trump said he loves …

… how's that love-affair goin' for ya'.

Mr. Trump is about to grab more than your external genitalia.

Personal insults, irrelevant and/or abjectly stupid comments risk flagging (which I don't believe I have ever done) … but the feature has become an indefensible (scratch that -- make it an "indispensable") component of "discussion" for some of our members …

… and who am I to argue with them?

Hey boys, I'm in!

Nope. Bad seed.

Meaning you can't viably refute a word of it so you dismiss it … a cowardly comment that hurts the credibility of NT by way of a right-wing stonewalling of an important subject.

If this is all you have to "contribute," I invite you to consider staying off of my articles.

That is your prerogative … but I wasn't inviting you to become part of such a boycott (spelled correctly here), rather, to consider not commenting in my articles unless doing so in conjunction with their contents.

MAC - my hope is that the ACA is repealed.  Sometimes the only way for people to understand how uninformed they are and how they've been lied to is to have what they need taken away.  Sadly, I imagine people will probably die because of it.  If Trump's prediction is correct and he can shoot someone without his base getting upset then his base is in for a long bloody ride.

That's a hard way to learn a lesson, PJ.

The Trump Administration is intentionally failing to reimburse insurers and blaming it on Obamacare; consequently, insurers are bailing out (as Aetna in Ohio).

IMO, this is a way TO KILL POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE SO THAT THE ALREADY WEALTHY CAN LIVE HIGHER!

The savings from such a repeal would be $880 billion … most of which going to tax breaks for the ONE PERCENT.

It's murder … literally and figuratively.

This is why people don't take your comments seriously. Republicans are not cartoonist villains just because they don't embrace your failed socialist idealogy. HYSTERIA IS OFF PUTTING.

That you obviously have little or no knowledge of the logistical implications of the several iterations of the Republican repeal … is manifested by your dismissive comment which represents either ignorance of the facts, or, your usual willing-dupe's positing.

But do try to redeem yourself by telling precisely where the "failed socialist ideology (spelled correctly)" of the A.C.A. comes into play; certainly in need of improvement, it is hardly a failure -- despite Trump's calling it that when speaking to crowds of angry, low-information voters.

And as you are wont to apprise others … THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE. Your people don't take comments seriously unless they fit an agenda of bumper-stickers.

One can't speak at events like the anti-Fa riots who are the best examples of "angry, low-information voters" if they even bother to vote ...

Oh, Petey, almost forgot ... thanks for jogging my memory … in conjunction with your comment, KKK and Alt-right members have expressed concern that, under Trumpcare, they will lose contraceptive coverage.

One member, when asked about that likelihood, told reporters, "Shit! Then I won't be able to take my pill before I use my vibrator!"

When asked about dental coverage under Trumpcare, she replied, "Well, I'd save money on batteries because I'd have to be careful not to chip any more teeth."

"So, you engage in oral sex," the reporter asked. 

"Sometimes," answered the Alt-right gal. "I'll go to one corner of the bedroom and my boy friend will go to the other corner, and we'll shout 'fuck you' at each other." But we don't do that too much 'cause I get off better with the vibrator."

Asked by the reporter if she wanted to be anonymous, she replied, "No, I like the church I go to now."

A final question by the reporter; "Do you consider yourself to be what President Trump calls, 'minimally or marginally educated'?"

"Huh?", she replied.

Now, Petey, what was that about Antifa?

Stay on topic. My comment had to do with the way in which, and to whom, Trump, pushed the repeal of Obamacare. Stop creating diversionary topics.

I don't want to see anyone lose their health care. But, elections do have consequences and I'm afraid some are going to learn a very hard lesson.

Perhaps in the next election those that are screwed by the ''new'' republican health care bill will voice their displeasure at the ballot box.

I doubt it. The alt-right will be told that the Dems are responsible for the ruin of their lives, and they will believe it. 

Facts are irrelevant. Tribal identity is everything.

Not much rebuttal thus far; I know it's too much to expect capitulation from the usual detractors, but on a long shot, is it possible that some of our Repeal Obamacare folks just discovered from my first comment, that their mothers, wives, children and/or other loved ones or close friends ... are covered under what they did not know ...

... is one-in-the-same, namely the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare?

Or, is there a boycott taking place?

The sooner we get rid of this immoral law and put an end to this 880 billion in theft and redistribution the better as far as I'm concerned. Have some compassion for the victims of this theft.

Thank you maybe one day I'll be able to return the compliment but it will have to be earned. Taking responsibility for yourself and not expecting others to subsidize your expenses is a good first step.

And there is no reason women that are also getting screwed out of their earnings should not stand strong alongside their men and fight for the freedom to keep what they earn. Ask yourself what is your fair share of another woman's work?

I don't disagree, Dean; but, as long as good-paying jobs are outsourced, others, in-sourced, as long as there's a piss-poor minimum wage, disparate and discriminatory hiring, advancement, wage and working conditions, blaming the inability of the victims of such practices to "take responsibility" … is wrong-headed.

Organized Wealth in America with the subsidized help of paid-off legislators, has created a system to be gamed … this as a strategy to divide and conquer the middle and under classes.

And while there are those who would game any system … who would never take personal responsibility … it is morally and ethically wrong to intentionally hold down those who would otherwise lift themselves up!

Bravo. Or to punish those who are unable to lift themselves up. As a society, as a government of people, we have an obligation to help those who are unable to lift themselves up and never will be able to.
