Congressional Republicans didn’t know how to repeal Obamacare.  Lord knows they get extra points for trying, though.

Manly Mike Moon

Along comes Missouri Republican State Rep. Mike Moon.  Mr. Moon has a new tactic to try to repeal Obamacare.

A resolution now pending in the Missouri House, calling on the state’s congressional delegation to “endeavor with `manly firmness’ and resolve to totally and completely repeal the Affordable Care Act . . . ”

Moon says that the “manly firmness” line comes from the Declaration of Independence.  Funny how that stuck out in Moon’s mind.

Apparently, no one took the shovel away from Moon so he kept digging.

“It is just like going to war,” Moon told the Columbia Tribune. “You want a soldier to fight like a man. If a woman is in the trenches, you want them to fight like a man, too.

“It was not meant to downplay their womanhood at all,” he added. “We just want them to know, every man and lady who is representing us, that we are demanding, as citizens of Missouri, that Obamacare be repealed and make it clear we don’t want a replacement.”

Honey, the hole he dug is so deep that you can hear Chinese people talking on the other end.

I have been told that they’re having a ball with it on Twitter but I’m afraid to look.  But, someone sent me Missouri Senator Clair McCaskill’s tweet.

She also added that there’s nothing manly about taking away health care from people.

Thanks to Mike for the heads up.
