It's on his to-do list, but U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the odds are against repealing the health care law championed by President Barack Obama.

The Kentucky Republican said Monday it's hard to unravel something of the magnitude of the 2,700-page health care law, WHAS-TV reports.

"If you thought it was a good idea for the federal government to go in this direction, I'd say the odds are still on your side," McConnell said. "Because it's a lot harder to undo something than it is to stop it in the first place."

“Mitch, Hard? You know what is hard...watching our country fall to socialists. You know what is easy - Repealing Obamacare. Do your freaking job and quit Mitching you pasty faced RINO!”

Mitch might be a RINO, and its certanlty not easy watching what was once a free country slide in tyranny, but Mitch is right that its going to be harder to undo Obamacare than it was for them to do it in the first place.

This just one of the many reasons Traitor John’s “reasoning” was so tragically off base. Once monstristiys like this start they intrictly build(with tax payer money) their own defense force.

It is an easy matter to lose liberty, it is a very difficult one to ever regain liberty. To put this simply: Washington will not willingly give up power! That is not in their nature.

If Mitch resigned, Democrat Gov. Beshear would name an ultraliberal Democrat to the seat. Mitch keeps KY liberals smug, knowing they could have a lot worse in that seat.

The renomination of Orrin G. Hatch proves that razing and reorganization of the GOP is a UT pipe dream.
