I was struck by him deriding the Pubs showing the bill itself as a “prop”, and any objections to what was in it were “talking points”, that people are supposededly tired of hearing. Which was clearly a talking point he planned in advance to use as soon as any objections were raised. He had no problem though when the RATS filibusted with sob stories talking points about constitutents wearing their dead sisters’ dentures.
He had the chutzpah to tell the pubs that they should only talk about things they agree on, not what they disagree about, and that his time didn’t count towards equal time, cause he won the election for president. Finally, he called all the Pubs by their first names like children.
Newt Gingrich said the day before that the Pubs should demanded that there be equal time at the beginning, and if Obama said no, walk out en masse. He was right. They should not have put up with his smug power plays.
I think whatshisname wanted the Pubbies to create a food fight.
McConnell did point out the time not being shared equally. He made his point and the silly whatshisname made a stupid snotty reply for all the world to hear.

The fact of the matter is that the Republicans did far better with voters than 0bama and the Democrats at that conference. The public got to know exactly what the Republican health care plan was like, and the public really liked the common sense, fiscally conservative, Republican approach, which is not going to cost tax payers another 2 trillion dollars like 0bamacare will, but will instead end up bringing down health care costs massively (tort reform, selling insurance across state lines etc).
Up till now, 0bama, Pelosi, Reid and the lame stream media had been going about pushing the “Republican have no health care plans” meme. and getting away with it.
