GOP secret back door healthcare bill. Do you believe the bullsh** being fed to the gullible? Why?

Here's what the LIARS want the gullible among you to believe.

That the Dems in 2009 did the same thing as the GOP is doing RIGHT NOW. Back door secrecy. They quote Nancy Pelosi who was Speaker of the House at the time. That's all they do. They say nothing about what happened next or any of the steps that were taken. Here's what really happened.

It took Dems 14 months of open hearings and debates BEFORE the AHCA passed. 

Starting in March 2009 Obama held a White House Summit meeting with lawmakers and interested healthcare parties to talk about healthcare reform.

In July 2009 the HOUSE  released a 1000 page bill. It went through MONTHS of  Committee markups before the House passed it in November 2009.

Then it went to the Senate  where weeks of hearings on the text were held .  Republicans proposed and debated hundreds of amendments to it though few were incorporated in it. The final Senate bill was reviewed before it went to the floor for a vote. THE Congressional Budget Office had provided a FULL ANALYSIS ONE MONTH BEFORE the bill went to the floor for a vote. Everyone had access to the information. Everyone. No secrecy. No silence. No backdoor midnight plotting.The Dems even delayed the final vote so that they and the Republicans could hold more closed door hearings. Only then was the vote taken and the bill passed.

So the bullsh** you are being fed about how it was and why what the Republicans are doing now is no big deal because the Dems did it first is a lie. Look it up. Get informed. Take a chance that knowing what actually happened won't kill you. Or keep on spreading the same old lies. Your choice.  :(

    I can pretty much argue the point that while not pristine, the Democrats cannot even come NEAR to the atrocities committed by the GOP.

    For every faux pas the Democrats committed, the Republicans beat them at every turn, not only in actions committed, but in numbers of atrocities as well. 

    Bill Clinton screws Monica Lewinsky in the White House and everyone freaks out.  But Trump marries a gold-digging hooker with pictures to prove it in every men's magazine  and everyone applauds.

    You know, I really cannot think of many atrocities committed by Democrats.   I can think of literally hundreds committed by Republicans right off the top of my head.   I know of no Democrat that was accused of stealing the vote in an election.  Not one.  But I can think of a Bush and a Trump that most certainly did just that.  And a Nixon that breached security and spied  on the Democratic party.    It's funny how Nixon was forced to resign, but Trump and Bush totally get away with anything they want to do.  This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at June 22, 2017 6:20 AM MDT

    I would take Bush in heartbeat over Doofus Donny. I never thought I'd say that about him but I am totally serious. Thank you for your thoughtful reply Shar! :)
