Republicans never demanded Obamacare repeal, says Republican who demanded 'getting rid of Obamacare'

by Jed Lewison

Let the rewriting of history begin!

Rep. Labrador says it's "absolutely false" that GOP sought Obamacare repeal. " We have never asked for a full repeal of Obamacare..."
— @mpoindc

And:

Labrador says any reporters saying GOP wanted full Obamacare repeal were "lying to the American people."
— @mikememoli

And just in case you doubt the technical accuracy of Labrador's words, check out this press release on his website:

Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-ID) announced today that he is a cosponsor of a resolution introduced by Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) to fund the government for Fiscal Year 2014 while fully delaying and defunding ObamaCare until 2015. The Graves resolution – which has 59 cosponsors – would prevent a government shutdown from taking place after September 30, 2013, when current funding for the government expires.

"If there’s any single issue that can unite House Republicans and has the strong support of the American people, it’s getting rid of ObamaCare," said Rep. Labrador.

So if you said Labrador and his fellow Republicans were demanding Obamacare repeal in this government shutdown, you're totally lying, because they weren't demanding Obamacare repeal, they were merely demanding the Obamacare be defunded until 2015 because they were united in support of "getting rid of Obamacare."

And, as everybody knows, there's an enormous difference between "repealing Obamacare" and "getting rid of Obamacare." So if you're one of the lying liars who is accusing Republicans of trying to use the government shutdown and threat of default as leverage to repeal Obamacare, you need to start telling the truth: They were simply trying to get rid of it.

9:30 AM PT: Or, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell put it:

McConnell on HC law: "Republicans remained determined to repeal this terrible law." But adds for today, Senate GOP wants to reopen gvt

4. Impossible

"And if the media spins this back to the Democratic Party - I'm going to lose my ever loving mind. "

They voted to repeal the law 46 times.

5. Thier media ProSense

Their media. I give Sean Hannity 5 minutes after the deal is done and he will totally convince his audience that Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House and that she engineered this whole thing at the last Bilderberg meeting.

He'll also convince them it was 96 times. . . 96 - not 46.


Let's think about the snakes we are dealing with here! They are lying liars who tell lies to people OF the lie and then voila - stupidity runs amok in America. ;_)

House Conservative: Effort To Defund Obamacare A Mistake

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said on Wednesday that the GOP effort to use the government shutdown to defund Obamacare was a mistake.

"In hindsight, we should have, in my judgment, simply focused on delaying Obamacare," Jordan said to conservative talk show host Bill Bennet. "If we'd been more consistent in our argument -- and it's what we have to do going forward, sticking to that fundamental argument -- I think we could win this with the American people and begin to reverse the direction of this Obamacare."

Jordan voted for a continuing resolution that would have defunded Obamacare in September.

Don't give them any ground, no cover, don't pretend they're in a good position. They failed for now, and they know it.

I wonder how vulnerable he is to a Democratic in his district?

2. 43 separate votes say otherwise

3. What Truman said about Nixon can be equally applied to ANY Republican.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.
