Nolte: GOP Works Tirelessly to Help Illegal Aliens

In early 2010, after a bunch of procedural gimmicks, a rigged Congressional Budget Office report, and Barry’s Lie of the Year allowed Obamacare to become law, the Republican Party went on a righteous repeal crusade.

“Just give use the House of Representatives, and we will kill Obamacare,” they told us.

So, in 2010, after a record-setting midterm election, voters gave Republicans total control of the House.

And they accomplished exactly nothing.

“This is not our fault,” they whined. “We need to control the Senate to stop Obamacare.”

So, in 2014, after a second record-setting midterm election, voters gave Republicans total control of both the House and the Senate.

And they accomplished exactly nothing.

“Come on, guys; it is not our fault,” they mewled. “We need the Senate, the House, and the presidency to kill Obamacare.”

So, in 2016, after years of repeal promises, years of astounding electoral victories, years of raising gajillions of dollars off of this very issue, years of defining themselves by the promise to repeal Obamacare, the American voters took them at their word and handed the GOP total control of the federal government; House, Senate, and presidency.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were now not only in a position to finally rid our country of the hideous failure that is Obamacare, there was no promise the GOP could not keep, no wish they could not scratch off their list. With total control of the government, Republicans could pretty much do as they damn well pleased.

And what did the GOP do with this once-in-a-generation opportunity?

This Congress has proven they are a do nothing Congress. They are not even a lame duck Congress. The Republicans are showing they are partnering with the Democrats in making the Rich richer and the Poor poorer.
