OK, here is what I don't understand. This bill is something that Republicans have strongly supported in the past. Why do they now poison it by demanding repeal of Obamacare as an Amendment, and then filibuster it when they don't get the repeal of Obamacare amendment placed on the bill?
Here's the deal. Want to repeal Obamacare? Then push that on it's own merits. But when you screw with the very kind of job creation you claim you are for, only because Democrats brought it up to be voted on, then you are Giving Democrats just the kind of ammunition they need to show you that you are willing to sabotage the economy for political purposes. You are shooting yourselves in the foot. I hope you realize that, and will turn around and start doing something for your country for a change, instead of something only for your party.
Yea, I have my dislike of Obamacare too, but Jesus Christ, I am a ****ing American first!!
