According to Steve Deace, McConnell's new version of the amendment is no longer the Cruz-Lee amendment, which is why Lee isn't supporting it.  He goes into detail here.

Hate to tell everyone I told ya so....but.... :whistle:
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

All this is 100% horseshit.  Even if the Cruz amendment was left alone, after passing the Senate, you effing know damned well right that the bleep will strip that language out as a part of the reconciliation process with the House.

CRAP SANDWICH.

I read the Deace piece.  He kinda hung Ted out to dry, while praising him with one hand.

I think Cruz still has hopes that the bill will help us until we can do something better.  I don't know what's wrong with the Senate we elected.

What's wrong is that the STATES no longer have any say in who populates the Senate and the people who do largely don't give a damn what the people who elect them want or think!  They serve only themselves and their K Street masters!

I don't trust the Senate leadership to do right by Cruz or Lee in any way shape or form.

Or the administration, for that matter.

Total repeal of the ACA is the only course that is the right choice...the Conservative course and decision for America.  Anything else is s slow slide towards Socialism.

At this point, doing nothing at all would be better than any bill McConnell will allow to pass.  I would rather see it go bankrupt and have people pay out of pocket for all medical care than to have America itself go bankrupt with this current transfer of wealth.

We have run out of other people's money.


People who pay taxes (the minority) are now a slave class to those who do not (the majority).

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
