Defunding The Affortable Care Act

The republicans cry to defund the Affortable Care Act is a continuation of their mental inability to cope and compete with democratic success in legistative matters that have helped the average American over the years.  Their opposition to every thing that comes out of the Obama administration tells just how far they have gone down the road of feeling inadequate as a party and as individuals.  They think very little of the American people's capacity to judge.

The republicans say they have a better answer on health care but lets examing their record.  Republicans controlled the White House 20 of the 28 years prior to the election of Obama in 2008, yet they never had a plan or policy on the health care issue to introduce to congress for debate or a vote.  During the George W. Bush administration they controlled both houses of congress and still had no policy or plan to introduce to congress for a debate or vote.  When you add the 4 years Obma has been in office the answer is the same and as of this writing they still have not introduced any plan to replace the Affortable Care Act which means they have had 32 years of doing nothing on the issue.

When a political party stands for nothing and have no plans or policy to talk about you have a party that is mentally committed to personal attacks, obstruction and opposition with an unAmerican ideology.  Normally political partys of the past had the mental capacity to compete with idea's of the opposite party, but todays republican party has chosen to obstruct rather than compete.  They really are a pittiful party.
