Bright Opposes Repeal Of ObamaCare

I don't know what other conclusion we can draw, people, except that Bobby Bright now LIKES ObamaCare and opposes repealing it.

Yes, I understand Bright voted against the law... but it passed anyway, and there is widespread speculation that Pelosi let him vote "NO" after they got the votes they needed for passage. But if Bright REALLY doesn't like ObamaCare, and if he REALLY opposes it, then why won't he sign Discharge Petition 11?

Basically what happens when the majority doesn't like a bill, as they don't like any attempt to repeal ObamaCare, they let it die in committee. A discharge petition, if signed by 218 House members, forces the committee to let it come to a vote on the House floor. This petition already has 170 signatures, and Bright has refused to sign it so far.


The petition has already been signed by Bonner, Rogers, Aderholt, Griffith, and Bachus. Missing are the two Alabama Democrats, Bobby Bright and Artur Davis. But if Bright REALLY doesn't like ObamaCare and REALLY thinks it was a costly mistake that we cannot afford, why will he not sign on to efforts to repeal it?

Is he a political coward, unwilling to engage in a probably lost cause (at this point) just because he believes it would be the right thing to do? Or does he secretly want ObamaCare to remain the law of the land?

Either way, it doesn't speak well of the man.
