Obamacare Repeal Could Hinge on Government Shutdown, Debt Ceiling

There will not be an appeal of healthcare reform.
Bring it on, let the GOP slit its own throat by trying to shutdown the govt.
Republicans can go ahead and shut down the government - it will be the final nail in the coffin of the Republican party. These chickenhawks never had the least bit of intention of governing fairly - its all about giving away the treasury to the oligarchs and billionaires buying elections.
Yea, folks finally see the anti-government nut jobs are essentially against the USA in everything they do. These gop wing nuts hate this country, plain and simple. Just a pack of paid lobbyists and corrupt politicians with a koch addiction. Let's not forget the worthless pr punks who never write a word not pre-approved by koch overseers.
This obstructionist terrorism will not stand.

The American Polls are trending against Obmacare. The latest Rasmussen polls show 62% FAVOR getting rid of ObummerCare. 51% Strongly Favor Repeal. "Only 33% of voters oppose repeal, with 24% who are Strongly Opposed." Pretty much a two to one ratio. Go to Gallup and look for *their* latest polls about this if you want to Poo Poo Rasmussen (who predicted Obama's win in 2008 and the Trunovers in 2010 better than anyone else combined!) and you will find recent polls where the Plurality of Americans would prefer to see a shutdown of the Federal Government if that is what is needed to get ObummerCare DOA!
So call Bachmann and King's efforts lunacy, but they at least are doing what the American People are asking them to do. I for one, want to give them as much traction as possible!

"pre-existing conditions" is in our plan.
You don’t need me to spoon feed you the link do you ???
Save your platitude for another...

"your plan"is quite different,for one thing it does not cover the same number of people,and not people with pre-existing conditions.those are just two points.
as i said anything thought up by those two loons,bachmann and king,is probably d.o.a.
when all is said and done"your plan"is all smoke and mirrors.

typical right wing dogma.
