WE paid them for 2 weeks of wasted time. Why did they not at least take some time and come up their own health care plan?

The republican party have become the party of lunacy. Think about it guys-if you are having a conversation with someone, and they simply start saying the same thing over and over 33 times. What do you do? You simply walk away as fast as you can. At that point you know that their is a bolt loss on their head. America need to walk away fast from these lunatics called the republican party and their frenge supporters.
Lets face it *****, Speaker Behnier and his crazies need to be repealed.

If the GOP had put as much effort into actually trying to create American jobs as they have in this political posturing and in the thirty-some abortion/ contraception/ anti-women's health care bills they've put up, the unemployment rate would be at least a point lower, maybe two.

Even if Obamacare deserved to be repealed, trying 33 times with no chance of success is just plain STUPID. Wait until you have a realistic chance of winning (if ever) and then try. Otherwise you are just wasting taxpayer money and posturing -- while blaming Obama for the same thing. You know, I don't even like Democrats, but the Republicans are just so darned STUPID that I'm simply voting ANTI-Republican and the Democrats are the only other choice. I kind of feel embarrassed to admit that I voted exclusively Republican up through Bush Sr., you know, back when Republicans actually had brains and used them. Nowadays they just prove over and over that the lunatics are running the asylum.

Why CBS are you not reporting on the actual cost breakdown of the Obamacare taxes by year? It makes any cost to repeal minor. Further, no mention of the negative affects on the heath care system and increases in costs or time. CBS stop showing bias and do a proper reporting job.

"One of their main goals with all these votes is to tie vulnerable Democrats to an unpopular law in an election year."

This is the closing line from the article. So the entire article is summed up therein. For all those decrying why the GOP held this vote, there's your reason.

Is it worth it? Depends on your point of view. Is wasting tax dollars on a political circus worth the millions of tea bagger orgasms it will trigger? You be the judge.

The headline to this article: "Health Care Repeal Effort: Worth The Time"

I prefer:

Halting National Bankruptcy: Worth The Effort?

and the answer to that is according to CBS...eh, not so much.

Simple answer is yes it is worth the effort. Keeping this nightmare out front is important. The other reality is that because it is such bloated and expensive mess with so little benefit, the next president is going to repeal it. If it is a Republican it will be called a repeal a democrat will call it fine tuning.
