As a fitting reminder of the
Bill Murray film, the House today took yet another senseless and idiotic vote to repeal Obamacare.
This time, it was a vote to overturn President Obama’s veto of a senseless and idiotic Republican bill that would have gutted key provisions of Obamacare, and forbidden Medicaid reimbursement to Planned Parenthood. Republicans originally passed this bill because they don’t give a shit if Americans die.
The vote to overturn the President’s veto
failed, of course, ensuring Obamacare will stay in place exactly as it is throughout the remainder of President Obama’s term. #thanksPaulRyan.
It is fitting this senseless and idiotic vote took place on February 2. Like Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Republicans are condemned to continue repeating their senseless and idiotic actions until they one day find their way to sanity and humanity. Murray’s asshole character eventually found his soul. It seems unlikely Republicans ever will.
