I feel as though we’re living in some sort of Lord
of the Rings quest. Six years ago,
Democrats inflamed the eye of Mordor by passing Obamacare and unleashing an
army of bureaucrats raping and pillaging our wallets and healthcare. The citizenry cowered as plans were
destroyed, deductibles raised and doctors torn away from their patients.
A fellowship of Tea Partiers decided to confront
this menace. They gathered in town halls
and in the streets and eventually marched upon the wasteland that birthed this
abomination.
These patriots vowed to get
rid of this pestilence. First, we fumigated
the House, then the Senate and now we have control of the White House. We are at the precipice and about to throw
Obamacare into the flames only to watch our elected representatives hesitate. Here is an excerpt from the
Daily Signal:
Rachel Bovard, a
former Senate aide who is director of policy services at The Heritage
Foundation, said Congress could have presented a repeal bill
to Trump on Jan. 20, the day he took the oath of office.
“Congress has been a
disappointment so far, considering the fact that there is unified control of
the government,” Bovard told The Daily Signal. “Congress could have had an
Obamacare repeal bill on Trump’s desk at 12:01 p.m. on Inauguration Day,
especially if they’d used the 2015 repeal bill that passed both Houses.”
“There is no excuse
for the lack of action,” she added. “And, indeed, by delaying it, they’ve
allowed the debate to get muddled, slowed the momentum considerably, and in
doing so made the task that much harder.”
With midterm elections
coming Nov. 6, 2018, some conservatives argue that Republicans have no place to
hide.
“The Washington, D.C.
Republicans are out of excuses,” Drew Ryun, national director of the Madison
Project, a conservative political action committee, said in an email to The
Daily Signal. Ryun added:
There
are no more electoral goal posts to move. They have the House, the Senate, and
with Trump in the White House. For years they have campaigned on the promises
of repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood.
Unfortunately for
them, their inaction is proving two things: They may really be a party without
ideas as well as one that pays lip service to its base with no intent of
action. This is a dangerous position for them to be in, with midterms just
around the corner.
What are you waiting for! Throw the damn thing into the fire! This is why you’re here!
