'We aren't stupid': Senate GOP keeping contents

>>148811
I'd say this shows that they are in fact very stupid.

It's nice that they're not even going to pretend anymore that people will like what they'll try to pass.

>>148811
Not stupid in a sense that they know obfuscation, misdirection, and backroom deals are the only way to pass corrupt policies that will harm millions of Americans while giving tax cuts to the rich, perhaps.

>>148872
This. They wouldn't have gotten this far if they were too stupid to pull off cons on their constituents.

I'm just generally disappointed

Now introducing "Reddit quotes on 4chan"

>Generally liberal

"It's like I'm really on Reddit!"

>We know it's terrible but we're not going to let you know it's terrible till it is much too late

What a thrilling change from the original period where the DNC was trying to pass the ACA.

"We have to pass it first to find out what's in it!"

>implying most people on 4chan have much testosterone at all

Pretty sure Fienstien got a lot of shit for saying that.
Also it's pretty drastically different, one isn't able to be seen by the public, the other was a response to a comment that was basically 'this document is long I don't want to read it all', which was very visible to the public

That was Pelosi.
Also, people should really read up the context in which she said it. It was about having to pass the bill to find out how exactly it would affect and change the markets and health care coverage at large, not pass it to find out what the actual bill said. The legislative process to come up with the ACA was infinitely more transparent, elaborate and serious than what the GOP has been pulling off with the AHCA, where they have basically sprung a surprise bill on the house that became public only a short time before it was voted on and was not yet assessed by the CBO. And it seems McConnell is following that strategy in the senate, too.

It's an effective way of keeping rich donors in your pocket for sure. Taking money out of the healthcare system isn't going to ever be popular, but how many people in the Senate actually have maps that make reelection difficult? Their poor constituents will never leave them as long as they keep talking about the second amendment, and their re-election campaigns will keep getting funded by the people who benefit from this kind of legislation.

You gotta wonder how many house seats the gop will lose if something as unpopular as the house bill passes. I mean, cozy re-election maps only get you so far, considering how much damage the Dems took for the much more popular Obamacare. The left is pissed as is, it seems like McConnell is just throwing more rocks at the hornets nest.
