After all the marches and protests against repealing the AHCA what shocks me is that only 3 GOP Senators paid attention. Why?

Many Republicans showed up at town hall meetings when their legislators were brave enough to hold them and face them and they gave the pol HE** for wanting to take away their health care. That only 3 Senators listened is terrible for the people they are supposed to represent. As far as the House is concerned they are more about political obedience than serving their constituents. Also a pity but less is expected of the House than the Senate. These people say they were just keeping their promise to repeal and replace. They had no replace. They expected people to go without insurance till they could come up with something in a couple of years? If they couldn't do it in 7 years why would anyone believe they could have done it in two?. And what were the people supposed to do in the interim? Play tiddly winks/hopscotch/jacks? What a humiliating defeat. They toed the party line and did what they were told to do and they still couldn't get it done because of 3 people with character and determination to do the right thing for their constituents.  What McCain did may be his greatest moment as a Senator.

    I am not paying attention to all the politics. I know all too well these humans will accomplish nothing. (Jeremiah 10:23)

    As you know I do pay attention Autumn. And then when I can't take it any more I run away to something else for awhile like old movies or  TVland where they still run the Andy Griffith Show or Golden Girls.. I wonder if the folks who are so determined to repeal/replace the Affordable Health Care Act really and honestly believe in their heart of hearts that it is the right thing and the best thing to do for the people? I cannot imagine that they could but maybe so. Or is it just that they so hate President Obama they want to obliterate everything he ever accomplished no matter whom it hurts? Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday m'dear! :)
