“Republicans should say to TOTUS: “Mr. President, thank you for finally listening to the American people, and your position for a COMPLETE NEW START ON HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION.”

More specifically, they should ask Obama to enumerate all the things wrong with the bills already enacted by House and Senate and then to list each Republican idea that he’d be willing to accept in a compromise plan. By the time he was done, hardly any Dems would be speaking to him much less willing to vote for his proposed bipartisan compromise.

Or, better, the Republicans should say: "Mr. President, you speak with forked tongue. In your SOTU address, you said jobs were priority one; your top-down government takeover of the healthcare system is dead, so why do you want to keep dragging out the CORPSE, man? Let's agree to shelve this monstrosity that you call health care "reform" and get busy with the work the taxpayers entrusted to us: get the economy going, create real private sector jobs, and restore the economic and social freedoms denied us by a too-powerful central government. We suggest a simple two-step approach:

1. Cut government spending, and

2. Cut taxes

Ronald Reagan created the longest expansion in this nation's history by freeing up the creative genius of the American worker. If it worked then, it can work now. And if you don't think you are up to the task which your policies and actions have only made more difficult, please step aside so that we can fix the problems.

Not saying they're your problems, not saying they're Bush's problems. Now they're OUR problems. ...

Or something like that...
