Setting New Records.

       Ya gotta give em credit. They never give up. Even after 56 times of voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, more affectionately called Obamacare, they're still at it. Now, even though the Republican party holds majorities in both houses of Congress, nobody in Congress actually believes this can become law. That's because even if both houses passed the bill, there's no way that Obama would refuse to veto it. At least with any language the President and Congress would accept.
       So why do they continue to try? Because it's all about playing to an extreme base. They're looking for those votes. They continue to vote to dismantle Obamacare even if it can't become law, they've provided hope where there is no hope. It doesn't matter if they're wasting the government's time, it doesn't matter if they don't believe in the bill, what they believe in is an ultra conservative minority of votes to get them reelected over and over again. They vote for themselves.
       That's the part that I find insulting. They don't mind making fools out of all Americans so long as it helps gets themselves reelected. Is that the kind of leadership we need in this country? Do anything, even if it hurts America or Americans? It would be different if these yahoos were voting to do something that might get them defeated in the next election, but I can assure you that simply won't happen. Nobody's gonna take a chance that might cost them their job.
       But what's so special about being a Congressman or Senator? Do these folks smell sweeter or stand taller once elected? In their minds they do. After all, to be one of these hallowed orators is to obtain unimaginable power to make and spend money. By that I mean, make money for themselves and to spend other peoples money. It's hard to respect con men.
