Methinks he doth protest too much.

Democrats should cover their heads with their jackets like mafia members on the News whenever anyone asks them about their part in Obamacare.

I think if I was a Democrat politician (what a horrible nightmare!) I would leave the country after this debacle caused by the Dems against the will of the People.

You can fool some of the people all of the time (Democrats, Climate Alarmists), and all of the people some of the time (Look Obamacare is gonna be good and cheap....er..well that is to say Good, really GOOD. Yeah that's the ticket) , but you can not fool all of the people all of the time and I believe that even the low information voters will be fed up with the Democrat UnAffordable Healthcare Act,

Is it just me .. or would somebody else have gavelled that idiot right out of the room ..??

Where is the spine in the Committee Chairmen these days.

I know, I know, it’s very hard to find. But, the guy just sat there and insulted the whole committee .. as Chairman, I would never have stood for that kind of behavior.

Too many cowards in Congress!!!!

Obamacare has many legal vulnerabilities should conservatives remain tenacious and exploit them all. One thin wedge end is all that is needed. But aside from being an identity thief's or a dictator's wet dream, kenyacare violates (imho) the constitutional right against illegal search and seizure. All that info they ask for is tantamount to the government rifling through your personal papers and effects with absolute impunity.

Yeah, I saw her on a CSPAN interview a while back. It looks like she pulls out all the stops to make herself look like a freak.

That is U.S. Rep. Rose DeLauro (D-CT). She is the wife of Stanley Bernard "Stan" Greenberg, a leading Democratic pollster and political strategist who has advised the campaigns of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry.

Here's the scumbag from the article ...

I think the Administration had ICE deport him to Kazakhstan. He now lives with a goat herder family. Doesn't matter that his name was Jimmy O'Hanlon; he's now known as Muhammed Nazarbayev.

Oh c'mon, I seriously doubt any Republican is actually concerned about the success and well-being of ObamaCare.

and chastising them for raising security concerns that he said were specious.

Wrong wrong wrong dirtbag.

If there is a place for genuine concern it's for the security, health and financial stability of the American people...something you RAT-bastards could care less about.

Monkey Court?

Why? Were the kangaroos busy?

Reminds of the SNL skit where Phil Hartman played an army drill sergeant who couldn't come up with appropriate nicknames.

The man is correct

The congressional court is trying a flap eared monkey that lives in the White House
