GOP Effort to Repeal ACA in Senate Fails

Senate Republicans failed to get the necessary 60 votes to waive an objection to the repeal measure because it will increase the budget deficit thus a repeal does not comply with budget rules.  In other words, the very fiscally conservative and deficit slashing Republicans did not get enough votes necessary to increase the budget deficit.

It would be one thing if Republicans were offering up some sort of replacement.  But they aren't.  They just want it repealed because it's Democratic policy.  And as we all know, Democratic policy is socialism and we can't have socialism in this country.

• Bush's government takeover of education aka No Child Left Behind.  That's not socialism.  That's patriotism.

• Bush's massive and multiple airline bailouts.  That's not socialism.  That's patriotism.

• Bush's completely unfunded trillion dollar expansion to Medicare.  That's not socialism.  That's patriotism.

• Bush's redistribution of American wealth to Iraq.  That's not socialism.  That's patriotism.

• Bush's trillion dollar tax payer funded bailout of AIG, Citigroup, Lehman Bros., Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, is in no way socialism.  It's total patriotism.

• Bush's $700 billion TARP.  That's not socialism.  That's patriotism.

• Obama's completely funded health care reform that expands insurance coverage to 30 million Americans by utilizing private insurance companies and shrinks the budget deficit.  That's socialism.
