Killing ObamaCare

It has been said that the Republican party has no new ideas.  Today they proved it for us.

Rather than creating jobs, or helping us end the wars they started, or addressing some of the many problems of our society, today they launched an offensive on 'ObamaCare' trying to repeal health care reform, defund it and otherwise kill it before many of its provisions come into effect.

It is this kind of thinking that ensures I will probably always hate Republicans.  The fact is the country voted for health care reform 2008, the various branches of government voted for it, and now we have it.  But because it doesn't fit with their cut-throat capitalist system where poor people die because they cannot get proper health care, they now want to try and kill it (just like they want to kill poor people by blocking their access to health care).

I swear, I don't have time to address fully why this is so fucked up (if you can't see why, I don't this blog is going to change your mind), but when I see news items like this I just have to shake my head and wonder how America can ever move forward when for every forward step there are people out there demanding we take two steps back.

Even top Republicans who were interviewed said they know that it will be almost impossible to get this past the Senate, and if it did Obama would veto it.  But this is still a priority to these fucking idiots nonetheless.  Still with any luck these asshole moves will reveal to the public just what the Republicans are about, and in 2012 they will vote accordingly.  After all, people always review the facts and then vote in their own self interest right?
