Another Big Lie By The Buckwheat Regime

It has become a truism that House Republicans have voted dozens and dozens of times -- at least 50 in all -- to repeal Obamacare. "They have been obsessed with repealing the Affordable Care Act," President Obama told a Democratic National Committee meeting in Washington last month. "You know what they say: 50th time is the charm. Maybe when you hit your 50th repeal vote, you will win a prize. Maybe if you buy 50 repeal votes, you get one free. We get it."

For more than a year, Democrats and their advocates in the press have been ridiculing the GOP's anti-Obamacare efforts. "The House Republicans have voted more than 30 times to repeal Obamacare," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in March 2013. "The House has wasted weeks voting more than 40 times to repeal Obamacare," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in October of last year. "If at first you don't succeed, try 50 times -- Republicans [are] holding a 50th vote to repeal Obamacare," MSNBC's Al Sharpton said last week. Many others have said similar things.

The only problem is, the truism isn't true. The House has actually voted to repeal Obamacare in its entirety six times. Certainly Democrats think that is six too many. But it is not 50, or even close to 50. The rest of the votes -- there have actually been 54 so far -- were votes that ranged from defunding measures that would have crippled Obamacare to delaying measures that would have put off some of the very same provisions in the law that President Obama has delayed unilaterally, to measures fixing portions of the law that passed both houses of Congress with bipartisan support and were signed by the president.

The basic story is that House Republicans have voted for repeal at a few key moments since Obamacare was signed into law, and also as part of the yearly budget process. "It's six times if you count the budget," says one House GOP source in an email. "First time was when we first took the House majority, once after the Supreme Court decision, and once this Congress. And then the budget ever year."

Time to face the facts math is not a Democrat/Liberal strong suit. :roll:

They claim 6 repeal votes is 50 :roll:

BUT they also claim Obamacare has resulted in less Americans going without insurance. When facts prove over 6 million have lost their insurance already, with another 10 to 20 million to lose theirs once the employer mandate kicks in. BUT only 4.2 million have signed up for Obamacare with only 75% of them actually paying their skyrocketing premiums to activate their insurance policy they put in the old Obamacare shopping cart. They claimed EVERY AMERICAN would be insured but the CBO say over 30 million will still be UN-INSURED once Obamacare is totally implemented. They claimed Obamacare would create millions of jobs but the CBO rules that Obamacare is an INCENTIVE NOT TO WORK and would result in over 2 million less full time jobs in the US.

They claimed an Obamacare success would be over 7 million signed up by March 31st with 40% of them being the Young Health people to cover the older sicker peoples medical expenses. But now it is a success if they get 5 million with 25% of Young. And the drop in sign ups and percentage of young is not going to affect premiums of those that signed up. :shock: :roll:

MATH MEANS NOTHING TO THESE LIARS. ALL THEIR LIES ARE JUSTIFIED BY THEY RETAINING POWER SO THEY CAN DO MORE DAMAGE. :x

People like Oldtimer claim the Republican and Tea Partiers are nothing but fearmongers but just what party is promoting FEAR TO STAY IN POWER. Everything the Republicans claimed was going to happen HAS HAPPENED IN SPADES.

BUT according to the Dems, It you vote for a Republican you will be cut off welfare and granny will be allowed to DIE and the Oceans will rise and drown anyone left after the Republican take power and build a pipeline that carries crude oil into the US from a friendly country. BUT if you vote Democrat you will be given a lifetime of free stuff and Granny, well she might get the care she needs if the Dems don't cut her Medicare to pay for some teenagers abortion.

Funny how the Dems don't support the Death penalty for convicted murderers as one innocent person might be put to death but they have no problems funding hundreds of thousands of innocent people dieing by the hands of Government funded ABORTIONS. :roll:

So don't rely on any numbers the Dems spew as when the facts come out those numbers will come back to bite you in the back side just like they are to every Democrat running from Obama and pleading with him not to show up in their State during their re-election campaign. :roll:
