the next election needs to destroy the GOP as we know it.

If our side could get organized

I am all for organization, but this is simple.

How about Realist Dems.

This lib/con crap is part of the problem dividing the country.

I'm in favor of:
....conservative budget, there is pork on both side of the isle.
....balanced budget, yes I can't buy something I can't pay for.
....feed hungry children at school, you bet.
....basic 3 year, associate degree at no cost, above that has a cost, this is the 2100 century, right.
....sick go to the doctor and no bill, want bigger boobies, well there's a cost for that.
....feed and house the hungry, sure and we can start with all the oxygen thieves in DC.
....term limits NO MORE McTurtles.
....no lobbyist writing legistation, we sent YOU TO WORK FOR US.
....no BIG money, corporations are made up of people but they are NOT "people".
....make up shiat, disparage others, when your are a "leader", YOUR FIRED, 1 less congress-critter until next elections will work.
....start kicking those poisoning our food in the nuts, that's why we are sick [bottom of barrel for top 30 nations].
....religious freedom, you have it and never lost it, your free to go to a different church, change TV channels, do not marry same sex, and keep your church out of my government and will guarantee to keep the government IRS out of your church [ NOTE: only applies directly to "the church" not business and commercial properties and ventures they invest in--that is taxable]
....feel free to continue.

And one more time for those that missed it.

You can not control a population that is:
...healthy -- ask Napoleon how that winter attack worked out
...well fed -- applies to healthy
...well funded -- can't by bullets when you are buying medical
...well educated -- we will call your bluff
Remove any one of the above and you control that population.

clause. He's got his. You don't get what he gets. He's special. You're not.

Are Trumpy's Fanboys gloating yet? Got rid of the Negro's Health Care program yet?

The term "fucking pigs" that refers to the GOP House members is well deserved. Fucking pigs.

Once we acknowledge this and react accordingly, we will be halfway there

Problem is too many of us simply cant accept that yet, it seems too outrageous and impossible to believe.

and, hopefully a very heavy anchor...

IDIOTS

The idiots will be OUR tribe if they DON'T take full advantage of this, and make TONS of hay out of this and then spin that hay into gold.

They're being handed a big, bulging, deluxe, premium-level tool box to use in the next round of campaigning. If they don't take full advantage of it, THEY'RE the idiots.

They just automatically went submissive and Assumed the Position for the KGOPee, Inc. and against the citizens of these United States.

Top to bottom.

This is what happens when they confuse catchy campaign slogans with actual names of programs

http://occupydemocrats.com/2017/01/10/trump-fan-cheering-obamacare-repeal-just-found-hes-obamacare-hilarity-ensues/

their RECORD. Not their promises of what they may do in office, but their RECORD. Even outsiders have some kind of record of what they've been doing for 10, 15, 25, 50 years of their lives.

got elected with successive teabagger waves after the ACA was signed and due to the fabricated information about it, the unfortunate healthcare.gov website rollout fiasco, and the abject hatred for anything "Obama". However now that the benefits have kicked in, hopefully we are finally seeing the reversal of that trend.

He thought healthcare is so unimportant, he didn't even bother to read the bill he voted for. He just flat didn't give a fuck, as I suspect is true for most of them. They didn't even wait for CBO scoring, because they were afraid of the truth, as always. They prefer their partisan lies, every time. They are willing to let people die just so drumpf and other 1%ers, like themselves, get more $ in their pockets. Drumpf never even once addressed the huge dichotomy between what the promised and the pittance and kick in the head he actually gave to his low income voters.

I just hope this takes effect in time that people feel the pinch in the mid-terms and vote these heinous killers out of office.

I hope people storm the offices for every single savages.

These people are so ignorant they don't even consider the jobs that are created and sustained by the addition BILLIONS of ACA dollars flowing into their states. They focus on hating the "other" and taking things away from them.

How do you represent your constituents if you don't understand the legislation before you vote on it? It just goes to show that being in the republican club is more important than representing your district. Goddamn!

That fucker is going to hear from us today! All of them need to hear from us. Not just this clown.

And Trump and his GOP Deplorable's take away their Health Insurance programs. F Trump, Ryan and their Deplorable's!!

I said this farther up-thread and it's well worth repeating. If our Dems DO NOT use all of this in the upcoming campaigns - THEY'RE the fools, and they don't deserve the trust of the voters.

This is a golden opportunity that presents itself with some of the most powerful and compelling talking points imaginable:

THEY just took your health care away.

THEY just took your protection away.*

THEY just threw YOU to the wolves.

(Wanna keep on voting for them?)

And according to word-masters like George Lakoff, you should NEVER EVER call it "Obamacare," because that's what the bad guys call it, in an effort to cast it - AND him - in a negative light. You reinforce that whenever you use the word "Obamacare." Now, calling it "trumpcare" on the other hand, works exactly the same way but it's helpful to our side.

AND you never talk about restrictions or regulations - the proper word to use is PROTECTIONS.

*WORDS MATTER, guys! Our team still doesn't quite get that, but I hope that's changing.

I've been thinking about that for quite a while. Don't use their framework. It's the "affordable care act". or was. we shall see.

Head upstate and/or westerly and things get profoundly red, or at best fuschia...

From saving them from becoming a backward hillbilly red neck American embarrassment like other red states.

We don't have city-states in the USA (which New York State is part of). Two thirds of New York's Congressional districts elected Democrats in 2016.

now ask me if i care.

This according to Rep Reed(D-NY) a week or so ago on Chris Hayes. Reed said something to the effect that by
Ny & Ca requiring abortion coverage in policies, those states' citizens could not be not be covered by this Republican/ Trump health bill, which categorically denies coverage for abortion.

So, even tho it specifically blows up all federal support for New Yorkers & Californians , these NY (including Reed) and Ca Repug Reps voted for it anyway pretty much in lockstep. Even like Issa and Rohrbacker who are in blue turning districts.

Go figure the level of stupidity beyond the sheer cruelty of these monsters.

But all too believable. I saw his interview(here on DU) yesterday with CNN during which he admits that he had not read the bill, but " that is what staff is for." Well sounds like his staff is as inept as he is.

You'd think that he'd at least see if anything in this bill hurt his own backyard. I mean, my direction to staff would be comb to through this bill and tell me what happens to NY programs. Even if I planned to vote for this turd anyhow, I'd want to know. Not Chris Collins. He is not just willfully ignorant. He's truly ignorant. Again, I'm shocked. But shouldn't be.

He just don't care.

about that?
