Steve King said late last week that he is not giving up his fight to repeal President Obama’s health care legislation – sometimes called Obamacare.
King, in looking ahead to the third anniversary of Obamacare this week, blamed the President’s plan for the ballooning national debt.
“It’s oddly appropriate this day falls in the middle of sequestration and debate around the budget. After all, this single piece of legislation is responsible for a growing chunk of this nation’s debt,” King said in an email.
“I haven’t made any decisions about my political future — trust me, you’ll be the first to know when I do,” King continued, referring to talk of him running for the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by the retiring Tom Harkin. “But I want you to know no matter what, I will not stop fighting to repeal ObamaCare. To say it’s an uphill battle is an understatement, so I’m going to need your help.”
King praised a budget brought by former Presidential candidate and Senator Paul Ryan, saying that plan would balance the budget if Obamacare was repealed. “President Obama knows this,” King said, “and that’s why he’s gone from Jekyll to Hyde over the past week, courting Republicans and being uncharacteristically amicable with leaders across the aisle.
“But don’t be fooled. The President’s sudden change of strategy does not change the fact Obamacare is bad for America and repealing it will go a long way to resolving our debt issues. That’s why I’m asking you to renew your support to repealing Obamacare once and for all today.”
King asked for donations in an email, in order to help repeal Obamacare.
“Mark ObamaCare’s third anniversary by renewing your support to repeal it. Please stand with me today by donating $25, $50, $100 or more to my campaign.”
King doesn’t want your help to repeal Obamacare; he knows that isn’t going to happen. What he wants is your money to help him get re-elected.
@bodacious-that is what I thought too.
Steve King is a racist voted in by other racists to do their dirty work. And that’s an old picture. He’s a fat bellied half bald headed old blowheart. He needs to go back and sit on his tractor.
His eyes look insane. Like his insanity is perfectly normal to him and you’re the weirdo outsider. Perhaps that’s true in his district. This is a district that can turn high school whores turn into super religious Republican moms. Everybody there is wrapped up in a modern Christianity based on the Republican party.
It’s rampant. If you don’t think just like them, you’re an undesirable. look into Kings eyes, don’t you see it?
you must be a mind reader, getting all that just from looking in his eyes
The eyes are a window to the brain.
And a good mind reader at that! Brick is spot on. I know….I went to school with those whores and Cons like him perfected the act of “hiding their dirty little secrets.” Years ago those girls were said to be visiting “Aunt Beas in Toledo” for the duration of the Summer.
This guy needs to wake up and quit wasting resources. Obamacare is now the law. I disagree with it but it is there. Learn to work from within to change the parts you disagree with and quit fighting a unwinnable fight. This is exactly where the Republicans go wrong. They just can not understand the change in culture and thinking. They just keep on fighting the same old crap that lost them the election.
LVS let me ask you a question. Hypothetically speaking say they pass a law making weapons illegal? Would you say the same thing, it is now a law, deal with it? I am just curious because even though it is a law I believe it is a bad law and will ruin our economy. If I am right then what do we do with it, repeal it or let it takes it’s course? Now trying to repeal it every month I do believe is a waste of time and money, wait till you have hard proof that it is a bad law or wait till you have all the votes before you try again.
@maybe-I didn’t say accept it. I said quit fighting it and learn to change it from within. Also, there is a huge difference between Obamacare and the 2nd amendment. All I am saying is you must change your approach and attack from a different angle. The old one is not working. The right keeps fighting the same old fight and they need to change their offense. Not all of Obamacare is bad, so, change the bad parts and leave the rest. Otherwise, they will lose again. Donald Trump sai it best when he said if the Republicans continue to attack entitlements they will lose again. He’s right.
Ok you explained yourself alittle better this time so I see what you are saying. It also seems as if maybe we are saying the same thing. I used guns as an example even though I know that any new gun laws would be against the 2nd amendment and obamacare isn’t I just used that as an example.
@maybe-sorry. sometimes I get in to big a hurry and do not explain properly. What I am trying to say is after years of fighting against something and not winning it is time to do it differently. Accept the good parts and fight against the bad parts from within. I get real frustrated as a conservative when I see the Republicans fighting the same lost battles in the same way. Gay marriage is one, abortion and Obamacare are others. They just waste a ton of resources without a hope of winning when there are better ways to get a least a partial win.
maybe you said any new gun laws would violate the 2nd amendment? How can you make that blanket statement? That covers a lot of possible new laws, in fact, all of them!! Yea right
@happy, you always ask for proof so now I am going to ask you for something. I want the definition, not yours but the official definition of this; SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. This is a blanket right there for ya.
@maybe, it says “right to bear arms” but it doesn’t specify which ones. That is up to our legislators to decide. That’s why that body of government was created. To protect the general public from NUTS with guns.
actually you have that backwards, the 2nd amendment was put in to protect us from the nuts in office.
If you break this all down word by word it goes like this. RIGHT, our right means something is guaranteed; BEAR, to hold or to keep; ARMS, weapons (plural and broad); SHALL NOT BE, self explanetary; INFRINGED, limited in any way. To summerize it is like this. We are guaranteed to keep weapons of our choosing and our choices cannot be limited. This is all the Oxford definition. If you read OUR rights like that, any law limiting our choices to keep or own weapons is AGAINST the 2nd amendment therefore illegal.
If you are too liberal minded and don’t like that definition then check out this page.

maybe…”well regulated”. You gun nuts always seem to forget the word regulated
If you read that web page it explains regulated. Citizens from the age of 16 to 60 that owns and maintains it’s own weapons that drills and trains monthly that is not the national guard because the national guard cannot take their weapons home and is regulated by the state. Read the page first, all of it.
@maybe-did you hear that Reid took the assault weapons ban out of the bill? They also took out the background checks. He said it wouldn’t pass anyway. The only thing left in there is some money. Seems like not all liberals are on the same wavelength here.
Yes I saw that but these brain dead people are not through with it, they will try to add it on later.
This is exactly what YOU do LVS.
Please give my insane eyes more money…
