They're both equally evil. The only true policy ever worth a damn is a centrist, intelligent, data driven policy.

Not all Republicans campaigned on repealing the ACA. Trying to force Republicans to vote for a bill they did not campaigned on is just wrong.

Are you a troll or a clown?

It's one or the other, and I used to think clown. My instinct tells me that nobody is this stupid, but, hell, I've been wrong before.

Democrats can get Obamacare passed but Republicans can't repeal it.

All republicans are against Obamacare. This is common knowledge.

Data driven? Like global warming?

How about that ... helping people.

What an odd, and funny novelty, which to you is nails on a chalkboard. Lord knows, you have never, ever, in your entire life, needed help. Never asked for help, Never received something. Nor your father, or his father. Etc.

You pulled yourself up by your bootstraps.

seriously???

that was unfair and unjustified.......ollie is as much of a patriot as he is a man!!!

we all joke around and enjoy stuffings.....that's what makes the lunacy fun....

however, that one was akin to pulling out the bowie knife and burying with a twisting motion.....

It's numbers. Democrats had 60 in the senate when they passed Obamacare. When that fell to 59, they had to play parliamentary games to finish getting it through.

Republicans have 52. That's not enough to get it done. 52 < 60. In terms of US politics, 52 <<< 60.

The only ways to repeal it are to 1) get 60+ republican senators, 2) repeal the filibuster, or 3) get some democrats to go along. Republicans aren't getting 60 any time soon. I think we need to keep the filibuster as a buffer against really bad legislation (although in the case of Obamacare, it obviously failed to do so). Right now democrats would rather crater the country than give in on a partisan issue. That probably holds for republicans as well.

Democrats once had the numbers to push through things that could crater the country. Thank goodness neither side does now.

52-48 vote yesterday proves that GOP would rather crater the country than giv in on a partisan issue.

I do support such policies. If I was able to vote directly on policies, rather than representatives, I would only vote for such policies.

Name one centrist policy that you have ever supported on here.

Which got me to thinking about JFK. He wasn't a Democrat either, he'd fit in with the Reps of today pretty good. Remember that famous line, "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
A Demoncrat of today would shite bricks if a member of their party said that today. Oh, another thing, JFK wasn't an Oblunder believer in a weak country he loved and supported the military unlike the Demoncratic god.

Is it comedy improv day today? Cause for Bison to claim to be a 'centrist' is totally laughable.
