Another Republican leadership toady steps out to show just how far left he is on health care, arguing that instead of working with conservatives in the House, they need to work with Democrats:
He not only suggests that Republicans need to work Democrats on health care, but on taxes as well. Why? Because he says the ‘Freedom Caucus’ are just angry they didn’t get to write the healthcare bill and will never ever say yes on anything.
Ugh. What a smug arrogant bleep.
All conservatives in Congress want is for Republicans to do what they said they would do. Indeed, they are the conscience of the House.
But Republicans like Kinzinger would rather go work with the very people who forced Obamacare down our throats instead of working with the people who he’s supposed to have most in common with.
This isn’t about a caucus that only says ‘no’. This is about group of conservatives who actually want what is best for the country and in this case, that is repealing Obamacare, which is something Adam Kinzinger told his constituents he had already done some 40 times:
“Americans are already feeling the pain of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and are asking for relief. Families deserve better than reform that raises costs and limits options, which is why I’ve voted over 40 times to repeal, defund, or delay this law from taking effect.”
That’s right from his campaign website.
Clearly those 40 votes were only show votes and he’s a damned hypocrite now for betraying his constituents and attacking conservatives in the House for only wanting him to do what he said he’d already done 40 times.
