The 35th is the Charm
You gotta wonder about this. Truly, do they believe that saying “I voted against Obamacare 34 times” is going to get them more votes than if they vote against it just 28 times? Is that the deciding factor on someone’s vote? Is there someone in America who is saying, “I won’t vote for a congressman who votes against Obamacare under 30 times?
Didn’t we decide this in November? Didn’t he become one of only 4 Presidents in the last century to win with over 50% of the vote?
I’m sorry, but after voting against Health Care 34 times, at this point Ryan can be pretty sure “Obama Shrugged.”
1I wonder if the Ryan Wonder Budget contains money to file repetious and useless repeals, used strictly for posturing? We could save some teachers with that money – or take care of some vets – except that would actually help people.
2This Munster kid is a real pain! Personally, I’d like to go visit him in Washington and “biatch slap” him! Sorry Momma, but he is messing with our Medicare…or trying to.
3He will never admit that he got “whupped on” by a man of color………..:) It’s not in his DNA (if he has any) to ever admit that kind of defeat………he’s just tooooooooooooooooooooo white!
4They say a great definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results… and by that definition, Ryan and most of the House Repubs are certifiable.
The good news is that “Obamacare” provides help for mental health issues. Of course, therapy only works when a person wants to be helped…
Perhaps we can arrange an intervention in 2014?
5I watch Up with Chris Hayes on the weekend. It is a great show and I recommend it. I always learn a lot.
He had 2 men who wrote a paper on how political representatives underestimate how their constituents really feel. They found that conservative representatives, more then Democratic ones, really do not understand what their constituents want. That people are more liberal then conservative.
The paper has not been peer reviewed but makes for great reading. It is long, but worth the read!

6What a cry baby. And a repug.
7That smirk really needs a good wiping….
8Black Irish twit. His ancestors would be ashamed of him.
9there are two very bad amendments to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that have Republicans in a huge tither and that’s why they keep trying to repeal it. The first is the Grassley Amendment that makes elected officials and senior staff buy health insurance on their state exchanges, and government subsidies stop when they leave office, rather than keeping their cushy federal insurance for life. The other is the Franken Amendment that requires insurance companies to spend 85% of all premiums on direct policyholder claims or rebate the difference annually. The first rebates — totaling more than a Billion Dollars — were sent out last October.
10You can see why Obamacare is sooooo onerous to the Republicans. Now, ask yourself — how many Democrats have called for repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
Stupid is as stupid does. He’s spending time and money trying to appeal to others like him whose only goal in life is not to make this country a better place but to get rid of the non-white president that whupped their scrawny white butts in the last two elections.
11Sorry to say this dimwit is from my state. Wasn’t in my district, so never got to vote against him. However, I truly enjoyed voting against him & dimmitt last Nov. This guy has been on the govt. dole since he graduated from college. & before.Never had a real job. But he did donate 15 minutes of his time washing clean pans at meal center last year.
12I hate to tell you but HRH the Used Car Salesman Ted Cruz is working hard alongside Paul Ryan to undo Obamacare. Sigh.
13Voting against Obamacare is a GOP addiction. If they don’t do it at least once a month they get twitchy.
Come to think of it, they’re pretty damn twitchy all the time.
14I’ve finally figured it out. The Republicans lose on watershed social issues and then bitch about it for the next two decades. It was the same thing with Medicare … the same thing with Social Security. But when they get into power (generally later than sooner) you don’t see them ever follow through to actually dismantle the programs that they claimed all that time would wreck the country.
15Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and expecting different results.
16Scottybeamer, how right you are! We had a situation like this some time ago in Virginia when Douglas Wilder became the first person of color to become Governor of Virginia. He beat a very aggressive, stuck on himself opponent, Marshal Coleman. Will never forget Coleman’s sorry performance after election day. All sorts of charges of illegality! How else could a person of color win such an election! Blah, Blah, Blah! It took Coleman forever to grudgingly conceed and go someplace else. And that pix of Ryan! Why doesn’t he get rid of all the pictures of himself with that idiotic insufficent diverisification blank eyed grin!
17If I were a windmill, I’d be afraid of this guy.
18Ryan has his eye on the presidency and the Obamacare thing keeps his name in play. The fact that the healthcare bill is attached to Obama’s name is particularly onerous to the tea party crowd and that, I wager, is the single thing they hate most: Our black President achieved something good, despite all their attempts to make him fail.
19What a waste of time and money.
20Time to repeal Ryan….
