Rest assured, Obamacare opponents: A group of Republican lawmakers meets every week to figure out how to get rid of President Barack Obama's signature health care law.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) revealed this fact on Wednesday, during a standing-room only event sponsored by the Republican Party of Harrison County in Marshall, Texas.

"Since May, there's been a group of senators and about 10 or 12 House members, we've been meeting once a week trying to figure out what's the strategy (to remedy the nation's current financial and healthcare woes) and (Senator) Mike Lee took the lead on the strategy, and the strategy is to fund every part of government including some things some of us don’t care to fund and completely defund Obamacare," he said, as reported by the Marshall News Messenger.

According to the paper, Gohmert "attributed the Affordable Care Act as the root of some of the nation's financial and healthcare issues."

6. They need to be stop and frisked! Nt

[Berlum]

4. RepubliWankers. Ptoooey. That's not what we pay them for

Freaking republicons have no honor. They should spend a little time doing something -- at least one freaking thing -- for Americans. What a-holes they are. No wonder no one respects them. They just don't deserve it.

8. Just another dumb moron pandering to his stupid base

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when is someone going require a mental evaluation for these people before they run for office?

The're supposed to be "smart" as whips.

Our Founding Fathers are

14. Good one!

My new favorite word. RepubliWankers.

7. Good lord. We need jobs!

[DetlefK]

9. What about the emergency-room-jobs the downfall of the ACA will create?

Ever thought of that? OF COURSE NOT!

Lame-ass liberals.

[Rebellious Republican]

10. Dontcha know, that is the most pressing issue of our times.....

if you are a right wing extremist politician with an agenda of obstruction.

[RussBLib]

11. they've been meeting weakly

so far, it's a great big 0-fer.

They are just INTENT on taking healthcare away from millions.

[Turbineguy]

12. I'm glad they are doing that.

It will keep them too occupied to invent other bad legislation.

[Botany]

13. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Albert Einstein

The A.C.A. has been passed by the congress, signed by the POTUS, and upheld
by the SCOTUS. It is a done deal.

15. If they're working on an impossibility, they're not working on something they can do real harm on.

I figure that if Gohmert and crew are busy on this, that means they're not busy interfering in foreign policy or education policy or something in which they can really have an effect.

[wordpix]

16. maybe they'll have a 50th vote to repeal, or whatever number it is

[JoeyT]

17. Gohmert couldn't plot his way across a small room.

If Gohmert's a standard example of the average plotter, the only thing Obama has to worry about is them forgetting how to use doorknobs and having to resort to cannibalism.
