Here’s the thing with any political group, you’re a one hit wonder. You’re care is for whatever cause you grasping too. “Oh no he didn’t” is a great phrase when your cause falters in DC, but when it comes to Election Day, you stand behind the guy/gal, pat their ass, rub their shoulders and applaud their re-election just so you can badger them later. When will you understand you’re a one night stand for politicians and they’ve got more lined up outside the motel room waiting for you to leave – PB/TK
Conservative groups unleash on Senate Republicans over repeal bill – By Adam Cancyrn / June 30 2017

The sharp opposition comes after Republican leaders signaled they may try to make health insurance subsidies more generous in hopes of appeasing the GOP’s moderate wing. That could further endanger Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s fragile bid to strike a compromise that will get him the elusive 50 votes he needs to pass a bill after the Fourth of July break.
Senate Republicans agreed this week to add $45 billion to the bill to fight the opioid epidemic and even floated keeping more of Obamacare’s taxes intact. That wasn’t enough to win over the GOP’s centrist holdouts — but it inflamed conservatives upset at Republicans’ refusal to pursue the total repeal of the health law that they’ve been promising voters since 2010.
“Bob Corker needs to find whatever shred of conservatism he has left in his soul,”Jason Pye, director of public policy and legislative affairs at FreedomWorks, said in an interview, singling out the Tennessee Republican, one of the senators who now favors keeping Obamacare’s tax on investments. “The past votes they took apparently don’t matter anymore. … They’ve spent seven years lying to conservatives.”
