Paul Ryan & 16 Other Hypocritical Republicans Caught Begging For Obamacare Funds

[Option D]

You won’t believe what The Nation magazine obtained through a Freedom of Information Act Inquiry: a list of 17 Republicans who secretly pursued Obamacare’s medicaid expansion dollars while hypocritically slamming the law in public, as well as all of their letters begging for the funds from the big, bad federal government.

Every single one of the Republican congresspeople listed below, including master hypocrite Paul Ryan, have voted over 30 times to repeal the law while privately begging for its funding from the federal government.

The Nation calls this behavior “shameless hypocrisy” as well as evidence “of the fact that the Affordable Care Act bestows tangible benefits that even congresses most extreme right wing ideologues are hard-pressed to deny to their constituents”.

While Tea Party Republicans literally believe “Obamacare” to be socialist Armageddon, some of their favorite representatives are making it clear that they are aware of the reality that the Affordable Care Act is a much-needed reform that will improve the life of millions of Americans, including their own constituents.

While the corporate dominated mainstream media is likely to ignore this story, it is up to us to make some noise about the incredible hypocrisy of these Republican Congress people that publicly denounced a wonderful reform and then turn around and beg for money for its implementation.

The GOP is worthless as are the communist democrats.  2 sides of the same corrupt coin. 

Regardless -obamacare is collapsing under its own weight - worst law ever.

I agree the GOP is worthless, but how is this hypocrisy?

They don't want the gov't to take the money.

They lose.

Gov't takes the money anyway and says if you want it back, you have to follow these procedures.

They follow the procedures.

Doesn't mean they have to like it.  Doesn't mean they shouldn't object to it.

Nuckin futs, man.

this post is fucking stupid.  they fought against the bill in public.  they did not want it to pass.  however if it passed they had a duty to the people who elected them to get as much of this money as they can into their state.  they can't put their pride in front of the needs of the people who elected them.  anyone who doesn't understand this fact is a fucking idiot.
