The Real Reason Republicans Are Voting for 40th Time on Health Care

Article PhotoHouse Republicans are not delusional. They know that any legislation to dismantle, defund, or repeal the Affordable Care Act isn't going anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate no matter how cunning of a bill name they craft. Case in point, this week's "Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act."
For Republicans, 40 assaults on "Obamacare," the president's legacy legislation, is about ginning up support among their base and uniting the party. Disdain for the Affordable Care Act is about the only thing uniting Republicans these days.
Even cutting spending, a core tenet of the party's identity seems to divide the GOP.
they are attempting to use Pres. as the historical reason to never vote a Black to that office again, those who subscribe to this stop saying you aren't what you are and add that you are the stupid that that party is representing you, the party of stupid.
this has occupied 5 years of their no our time trying to sink him to no avail, doesn't that tell you something their racist attitude toward Blacks and especially one who cleaned their clocks twice, and has intellectually caused the dismantling of the right wing political Albatross.  theres the change too, you.
Wednesday, Republican leadership was forced to pull two appropriations bills from the House floor because, while cutting spending is appealing in the abstract, when it comes to shaving waste, leaders couldn't get 218 lawmakers to agree on a plan.
It wasn't the first time leadership failed to convince their majority to vote with them. Republican rebellions aided the failure of a farm bill earlier this year and in January, intraparty squabbles kept Speaker John Boehner from bringing his "Plan B" bill to the floor, nearly pushing the country over the fiscal cliff.
The commitment in the House to dismantle health care may seem like a waste of time to beltway insiders, but it sets most GOP lawmakers back home as principled representatives fighting against the Washington establishment. They may not be passing legislation, but they are voting to repeal an overwhelmingly unpopular bill back home. The latest Pew poll shows a majority of Americans are worried the Affordable Care Act won't make their lives better, but a much greater number of Republicans say they want to see the bill completely dismantled.
everyone has to get the word out there it seems some just refuse to except help that the republicans told them was an abomination.  not hard to lead those predisposed to hate and bigotry, they are already in the gallery sad part is it's not a gallery of their making.
hate to be a republican when they find out who's really zoomin' who.
