    42M in Ads already and calling it Obama care 2.0

    “The bill as it stands today is Obamacare 2.0,” said James Davis, executive vice president of Freedom Partners, in a statement announcing the new fund. He added, “We will stand with lawmakers who keep their promise and oppose this legislation — and work toward a solution that reduces costs and provides Americans with the relief they need and deserve.”

    What a couple of Money Grubbing Conservatives that would rather have millions of DEAD Americans piled up on their door step. The money grabs, and trying to change policy with their money that has help to destroy our country and turn it into a PURE Plutocracy... I hate to say it, but this is exactly why so many people around the world end up standing against the The RICH Community in the END. This is how it started in Europe circa 1930s, this is what happened in this country in the late 1800s and early 20th century.

    These guys have no right to spend millions of dollars to sway votes. We are no longer the America I grew up in... THere has been and always will be corruption. We are now past that, they go into publically doing whatever they want with their money. 50 years ago there would be an outcry for this type of money play. Today, those same 2 brothers pay millions to have people post on sites like this and the only benefactor is the site owner.

    I just don't understand what Americans are thinking... The chair of the committee looking into the TRUMP wiretapping probe goes directly to the white house and bypasses the same info to his committee... A californian Congressman that has no experience leading this committee, Paul Ryan, the speaker of the house and a totally KNOWN Super conservative playing this guy...

    This is not going to end well. I just can't get how stupid people in this country are to believe all this BS and not care one bit... WHERE ARE U !

    The Rich guy is going to push everyone in a corner, then when they turn on him, he will hand them a penny and state, see, I do care..

    I would worry more about Bob Mercer. He started Breibart and won the election for trump.

    It would be better if some pinhead socialist bureaucrats wrote a bill that was unsustainable and would collapse in under 10 years.

    Oh wait .... we already did that.

    The GOP credo is "the best government money can buy", and it has been bought....

    Great post.

    Of course, the reason why the Koch brothers oppose the new bill is because it doesn't go far enough to kick people off health insurance. They'd probably be fine with the famous 47%, who are labeled moocher and takers by the GOP, unless they need their votes, to have no health insurance. All of that so the Koch brothers can add a few more % points to their portfolio, which they can then spend to bribe (oops, I meant lobby) GOP politicians for implementations of more anti-social policies.

    Thank you very much Citizens United. And now we'll get another SC justice who tows the corporate agenda line.

    Keep Obamacare just the way it is. Don't attempt to repeal it. Conservatives should vote NO and let it live on as Obama's failed legacy.

    There is no democrat that will vote in favor of the GOP version of socialized medicine. Why should any republicans? Republicans didn't create the mess. Why should they clean it up?

    The Koch brothers use their money & influence in just about everything else, why would they back off their opposition to the Trumpcare bill?

    But ,,, Hillary hauled in as much or more money peddling influence to foreign countries as she did from Wall Street --- and that's not even including the Holocaust blood money she got from Soros and his sheeple. She and Bubba were even fined by the FEC for their influence peddling during the 1996 campaign.

    The list of Clinton crimes would fill enough pages to reach the moon.

    I think many DEMS and those of us in the middle agree with you, Hillary was WALL STREET, but not the Goldman wall street group that TRUMP is tied in with. There are several factions in this.... RICH IS RICH... ANd they look out for each other, this is why you dont see OBAMA, CLINTON or many of the other dems preaching about TRUMP and his cronies right now. It isn't hurting their pocket...
    I think our people, in this country can agree on most of everything, place it in the middle... But they are driving us apart... The KOCH brothers by taking such a hard right side stand create hate, just like Bill M on HBO.. .I watch him, but he is a little too far left, and there are others too far left...

    You mean like Soros and Bloomberg on the far left? They did a pretty good job of buying a first term senator 8 years ago. Not to mention Bill and HRC.

    LOL, this is tiresome. I post a comment on the Koch brothers to a thread titled "Ridiculous that KocH brothers are involved in Health Care Bill" and you respond with Bloomberg & Soros. If it bothers you so much, start your own thread about Soros and Bloomberg..........

    Absolutely. Wait for them to throw their weight around the tax cut debate next. They'll probably dangle another multi-million dollar carrot in front of the freedom caucusers, telling them to not vote for moderate tax cuts or else....

    Isn't democracy based on "1 dollar 1 vote" grand?

    Reminds me of the Soros funded, Obama & Clinton led rent-a-mob rioters. The difference: Advertising is a more civilized means of making a point while supporting the economy. Arson, vandalism and thuggery are net negative influences on the economy delivered by the Democrat Party.

    Anyone who thinks freedom caucus conservatives needed an advertising campaign to refuse to support a health plan that continues the Obamacare central planning disaster isn't paying attention.

    Deflect to Soros and Clinton all you want (Obama, btw, funded his campaigns through many small donations), it just shows that you have no defense for the Koch brothers openly bribing congress people.

    Let's all be happy that we will no longer have to hear the word republican healthcare. Obamacare is the law of the land and democrats can now shut up and be happy for once.

    Oh, I think you know. How about the 40 or so GOP pro Trump rallies around the country yesterday. The one in Huntington Beach CA comes to mind where masked liberals tried to obstruct and disrupt a peaceful rally. The jerks that illegally pepper sprayed Trump supporters? You know, the liberal cowards who got arrested.

    http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-trump-rally-20170325-story.html

    That's what I call hate.

    There are many, many other examples if you need more.

    Okay, now I understand. Given the way your post to me was structured I thought you were accusing me of hatred. I couldn't agree more, violence, no matter by whom, is unacceptable.
