Page 19 - Kill Obamacare News Today

Louisiana, north carolina, new hampshire, and virginia. theyre also targeting house democrats in iowa, michigan, new york, and west virginia. it seems to me, ron, that the talk of replacing and fixing is gone. theyre basically saying the whole thing is no good. theyre going for the kill. i was reading something by walter winchell that he wrote years ago, the great -- i might call him -- well, he might be highly dramatic newscaster. and he said once your opponents have solidified around something...

Kill obamacare. thats all they stand for. thats it. thats the bottom of the republican party, kill obamacare. thats why we exist. >> and the absurdity of that, chris, you might wonder what is the republican alternative to obamacare. but the problem for republicans is obamacare is the republican alternative to single universal single payer health care. it was their alternative to that. so theyre going against their own plan. and of course they have no alternatives to this because this is the alte...

To offer payment. >> well extend unemployment insurance if you kill obamacare. it is cruel and delusional. in mcconnells world delaying obamacare would pay for the unemployment insurance extension. obamacare doesnt actually add to the deficit. this exposes the true nature of republican opposition to the extension of unemployment insurance. theyre not concerned about fiscal responsibility. they are idealogically opposed. thats how rand paul can claim it would be a disservice to workers. this grap...

Bipartisan zip around here to try and in fact enforce, make whole, his promise that he has said over and over and over again. thats what this bill does. >> so lawmakers we return home after saying to their constituents or being able to say, they passed something to try to allow them to keep their insurance. it seems up likely the senate -- unlikely the senate will take it up after president obama threatened to veto it. >> it can be dull in the house but not today. >> lawmakers on both sides are ...

United republicans who do not like obamacare and given them something to rally around as they worry not about their democratic challengers but about being primaried on the right. and so this gives them something to take back to those conservatives who would outconservative them and say, look, we tried to kill obamacare. the question is, generally, about how do you make the transition from being a congressional party to a presidential party and the people who are most upset are independent voters...

We talk about continuing resolutions, it goes until the midnight hour, and what happens? the c.r. is passed. republicans are making symbolic votes in keeping with the american people as far as what they believe, their thoughts on obamacare are. but this isnt the mechanism by which you will amend or kill obamacare. thatll come at another time, another place, another debate. i happen to think the senate will vote down, of course, the house as far as defunding obamacare. the president, assuming the...

Cloture it requires only 51 votes to amend or pass it. hell have to filibuster the me sure wae want passed. that doesnt make much sense. i admire people who say, i want to kill obamacare. i want to but you have to have a strategy with an end game where you can make it work. were going to end up having senator cruz filibuster the bill he would like signed into law. >> the house republicans are hot under the collar. we have an interview coming up with majority leader cantor. they are hot under the...

A minute, this is not the vehicle to have the fight about obama care, especially as we head into an election cycle in which republicans are favored to pick up a few seats in the house and maybe even get control of the senate. so politically long-term, most establishment republicans, most smart strategists think its a mistake, but theres this vocal group, anderson, that says were going to plant this flag and fight and were going to play it out for the next ten days over the government shutdown po...

It. they should go in and fix it. they cannot fix it because they cannot have a normal rational conversation about it because apparently it drives them crazy. >> i think thats the question. whether or not that happens. whether or not well see that in the fall. will republican conservatives coming to the table and figuring out how to fix some of these flaws in health care. >> well see. or we wont see. richard wolfe and nia-malika henderson. thank you for your time. ahead, an offensive new comme...

The romney campaign is doing one attack on medicare that attacks a president for cutting medicare. yet isnt that the same thing that a lot of republicans have advocated over the years, slowing the growth of medicare? you think its a mistake, sort of an ideological off-key message? >> im frustrated right now with the whole tone of this debate. we, as americans, need to agree on this fundamental basic fact. that is medicare is going to go broke. start from that premise. if we have some real bipart...
