"Kill the Freedom Caucus!!" Really?

Oh, there's plenty of ink and pixels being spilled about How Awful The Freedom Caucus Really Is, and How the Freedom Caucus Will Kill America and Did the Freedom Caucus Assassinate Paul Ryan? and all that stuff.

But there is another--far more honest--side to those stories.  You can read it here....

Did Paul Ryan really say that 'ObamaCare must be fully repealed' in his "Better Way" docu-drama?

Did McConnell really promise to make sure that 'ObamaCare must be repealed, root and branch'?

Does any (R) boob in Congress understand insurance economics 101?  (Not really.)

So let's get something straight:  Paul Ryan came up with a half-baked plan that would not work and tried to ram it down the throats of House members, some of whom knew that Ryan was dealing from the bottom of the deck.

Makes NO difference that The Donald ordered Ryan to try this; Ryan should have had the balls and the smarts to say "No, that won't work."  But he didn't.  And Trump, who is every bit the Medical Socialist, got his ass handed to him,  Deservedly so.


when all Republicans running for office ran incessant ads during the past four election cycles promising to fully repeal Obamacare, Meadows actually thought they meant it! What a fool. When Mitch McConnell promised to repeal Obamacare “root and branch,” Meadows actually thought that he meant … well … root and branch. 
And when Mr. Meadows read the fifth sentence of Speaker Paul Ryan’s “Better Way to Fix Health Care,” which declared, "Obamacare must be fully repealed so we can start over and take a new approach,” well, he though it meant full repeal, starting over, and a new approach. 
Meadows, along with a few of his compatriots, didn’t seem to get the memo: that this was all a joke.
