GOP: We demand that Obama and the Democrats use the state ins. exchanges in 2014

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Dems: We reject this amendment, but Obama will use the exchanges anyway

Grassley: Well that's presumptuous! Who's to say Obama will be reelected! *outrage*

2. Wow, that article kisses a lot of GOP tush.

For one thing, in describing Grassley's repeal the $200,000 or above tax, when the amendment was introduced, Baucus swatted it away on the floor by explaining that passing the amendment guaranteed that about 5 million more people would not have access to health insurance (if memory serves me correctly; it was about 1:30 in the morning when it came up.)

The amazing, amazing thing that never goes away is that there is a contingent of stupidity out there that continuously elects complete assclowns like Grassley, et al. to represent them.

Just disgraceful all the way around.

5. It really was a GOP propaganda piece.

Blah. I was disgusted by the whole thing. But Grassley's assiness was the thing that struck me most of all.

4. My favorite quote in the article, from Mitch McConnell:

"Today, Republicans will give Democrats one last chance to reject the horrible impact the underlying bill and this last-minute add-on will have on our country," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday. "Unfortunately, we already know that they plan to turn the other way."

Ooohh... they're giving us one last chance... :rofl:
