Who Are The Turncoat Republicans Protecting ObamaCare?

Health Reform: Republicans in the House voted nine times to fully repeal ObamaCare when they knew President Obama would veto it. Now that they actually can repeal ObamaCare, dozens of "moderate" Republicans are blocking even a partial repeal.

Maybe they should actually try staying in town and working for awhile instead of taking all these mini vacations! They leave again for another one week break on Thursday!

As a representative democracy there are those elected to do just that.  Represent those who elected them.
We cannot and should not damn them for standing up for their constituents.  Hard to do but we must respect their voters.
Certain loudmouths and ranters on the radio and TV think they have the right to decide who gets elected in various cities and states in the USA.

@Rivergirl
Are they really representing their constituents?    I guess there's a first time for everything.

Rarely if ever do they actually represent the people who elect them. Mostly they represent their masters over on K Street!

Remember when conservatives actually stood up in favor of federalism and a part time government?

All of them apparently. They will never even hold a vote on a true repeal bill, just this pretend crap

Dent and the Tuesday Group aren't conservatives.

Had family living in Cincinnati during Boehner's terms in office.  He won their votes.   Often watched the community in action and found them to be informed and supportive of Boehner.
But then, Levin and assorted others decided he had to go because...............they were sure that one of the 20 plus conservatives could win the Speaker's office.    Think about that.
Much as the folks believed DT, they believed the endless rants against Boehner as tho he was the devil himself.
As he himself said......it was like herding cats...........
Of course, when you are on the radio and TV pandering to the mostly uninformed you can sway the listeners.
That worked out really well, didn't it.
