No surprise here: Ernst "leans" yes on ACA repeal

[rurallib]

What a load of crap she is selling. She votes how Charles and David Koch tell her to vote and they want the ACA dead as a doornail.

And of course Grassley does. And of course Reynolds does.

Ernst tries to make it sound like she cares. My guess is that subconsciously she is really religious and knows that in her religion she will be ticketed for hell for voting for a bill that will lead to early death for millions.
What a load of crap.

1. If Charles and David told her to vote for a bill establishing concentration camps for certain groups

....she would vote for it without hesitation.

3. but claim she had some reservations and concerns

2. I write her letters when these important votes

come up and get back form letters claiming she is looking carefully at all sides of the issue....blah blah blah ....

Ernst is a hack. She wouldn't know an independent thought if it was staring her in the face.

4. I don't know how many calls I have made and letters I have written

but the response is just 'quit bothering us. She's doing what she is told to do so there.'

Then she plays it up for the cameras and the audiences.

Her Washington office doesn't even answer anymore. You get a picture that they just raise the finger when the phone rings.

5. Why isn't that part more widely brought up by Dems?

The fact that the Kochs(and a few others) are demanding this agenda or the money pipeline gets shut off?

IMO that's a huge deal. I wish we had more Dems, not necessarily currently in office, but others (ex: Howard Dean) talking more about this as much as possible, in as many channels as possible.
These a-holes are putting campaign money ahead of their constituents some of whom will suffer greatly from this, and some who might even die.

6. Unfortunately our hands are out also

campaigns cost big bucks.

There are some that do and media won't report such remarks.
