How about spending time on stuff that actually matters since non of these votes mean anything as long as Obama is in the office.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/11/health-care-law-repeal_n_1666917.html?utm_hp_ref=politics

 

While Republicans lambast the cost of implementing health care reform, a new report shows that their efforts to repeal the law have come at a major cost to taxpayers -- to the tune of nearly $50 million.

The House of Representatives again voted to repeal President Obama's signature health care law on Wednesday, marking the 33rd time Republicans have attempted to take down the legislation. The 32 previous repeal efforts faltered at the hands of the Democrat-controlled Senate; the latest attempt is unlikely to break that pattern.

According to a report by CBS News, these efforts, widely viewed as symbolic political maneuvers, come with a high price tag.

CBS' Nancy Cordes reported Wednesday that Republicans' many fruitless attempts at repealing the Affordable Care Act have taken up at least 80 hours of time on the House floor since 2010, amounting to two full work weeks. As the House, according to the Congressional Research Service, costs taxpayers $24 million a week to operate, those two weeks amounted to a total cost of approximately $48 million.

They are doing what the voters asked them to do, unlike the Clown.

Let's see, GOP vote - $48,000,000.

Clown Care -  $2,600,000,000,000.

The point is being made: If the GOP sweeps the elections, or controls one half of Congress and the Executive Branch, ObamaCare is history. Oh, there'll be health care, and the ultra-poor will get lots of help, but everyone will know exactly how much the freeriders are costing us. There'll also be a provision for pre-existing conditions and so on, but the bureaucracy won't be there, and the cost won't run into the tens of trillions of dollars (as the CBO is projecting ObamaCare will).

Congress has an 18% approval rating.  They are not doing what the people want.

This is hilarious!!!  I'm actually falling out of my chair laughing at many of the ones complaining about $30 million.  What about the billions and even trillions your dear leader is blowing?

CBO estimates Obamacare to cost at a minimum of $12,500.00 for Bronze coverage for a family of four by January 1st 2016.  This a bare minimum coverage with large out of pocket costs.

FREE HEALTHCARE!!!!  HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!

We who are not in Mass. don't have to buy their health care plan, don't have to pay their taxes and therefore don't give a rats ass what they enact in Mass.

We don't want it here... which means we don't want the Obama hellcare fiasco to stand and so we support those we elected in their efforts to repeal it...

We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits, perfect our government, insure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and guarantee equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this constitution.

Obamacare isn't actually the same as one of the the right's organizations that drew up a healthcare bill proposed many years ago.

hahahahahahaha... a Democrat blaming the Republicans for scaring old people.... HAHAHahahaa did we steal your play book???

Listen to Obama for 2 fricken minutes and he'll tell you how the Republicans are going to starve old people, make them, MAKE them buy cat food to eat, run poor crippled people over with our limos and private planes and keep all the money to stuff our matresses with...

Old people don't have to be afraid with Obama care... young people do... they are the ones who are going to pay for it....

No wonder they have a 10% approval rating.
