Disgusting: The Freedom Caucus Saves Obamacare Again

[IsailedawayfromFR]

AFCA was pulled from the floor yet again this afternoon, and it now is probable that Obamacare will be the law of the land for years to come. This is an utter disaster for U.S. health care, not to mention individual liberty, and the responsibility rests squarely on shoulders of a small cadre of political opportunists with the effrontery to call themselves the “House Freedom Caucus.”

These people held out for the impossible — full repeal of Obamacare in one fell swoop — and have thus destroyed the only realistic opportunity their party will have in the near future to eradicate the law’s individual and employer mandates, enact entitlement reform, expand HSAs, defund Planned Parenthood, halt the metastasis of Medicaid, and cut its myriad taxes.

Moreover, they have made a mockery of their group’s name by perpetuating the increasingly oppressive and powerful administrative state, leaving their constituents to the tender mercies of Beltway bureaucrats whose contempt for the taxpayers who support them is exceeded only by the breathtaking incompetence with which they mismanage everything they touch

This tiny clique has again protected a crime against democracy — and that is what Obamacare is — from the will of the voters by refusing to accept political reality. They have reneged on the promises they made to their constituents and allowed their “more conservative than thou” hubris to transform their little group into the “100-Percent-of-Nothing Caucus.” Disgusting.

What is disgusting is a liberal posing as a conservative gets off my saying this is all conservative's fault. 
Where is the blame of House leadership reversing its position prior to the 2016 elections by introducing a bill that did not reject Obamacare, but replace it with a modified version? 
How about the fact that zero Democrats would vote in favor?
How about the female congressmen who refused to totally eliminate funding for PP?

This author is a disgusting individual for his diatribe.

Less than 10 percent in fact. Louie Gohmert said that he estimates more no votes from non caucus members than from the freedom caucus.

Its more telling to see who is falling all over themselves to blame the freedom Caucus.

The comment section is telling. Catron's getting a lot of blowback from this, and rightfully so.

Those GOP jackasses held out the promise of Obamacare repeal for years, and it put them in power.

The issue can take them out of power, too, if they will not do what they have promised to do.

It is time to start lining up primary challengers.

The people who are paying attention know who is shaping up to be full of excuses and lies, and who stuck to their guns to do what they'd promised.

Trying to place blame on those who did what they were sent to do will only piss off the voters who know better. It is the action of cowards. At least have the balls to say they were not going to do what they had promised to do and own it.

The entire article is establishment BS IMHO!

The truth is that the RINO's never wanted full repeal, and won't vote for it.  That's just a reality.  So if it is either "full repeal or nothing", then it's nothing.

I don't really care whose fault it is if it means we're going to be stuck with Obamacare until the Democrats get in power again and finish the job.

We tried that with McConnell and we saw the full weight of both the Democrat and GOP machine crush the grassroots TEA party out here, until today it has been totally taken over by secular Libertarians or Oligarch RINOs loyal to Team Mitch.  The same guy who promised over and over to get rid of Obamacare "root and branch".

It was all a ruse.  McConnell and the Oligarchy have no intention of getting government out of healthcare - and are perfectly committed to Single Payer.

The oligarchy will remain despite whatever efforts we make short of force to stop the Beast. 

I will say this again, we cannot stop tyranny via civil means.

The problem is, too many are comfortable with tyranny and have grown accustomed to it to the point they think one step forward and two backwards is progress.
