I will certainly say it wouldn't have been my choice of words, but given the fact that DeMint and Talent (for the years Talent was there), fought hard and long, introduced bill after bill to try to draw the Congress into a debate of the failures of our health care system. Whenever Pubbies would try to wring the waste out of Medicare (and there's a truckload of that), they would be roundly denounced as trying to kill off granny. I understand his frustration (especially since then Senator Obama voted against DeMint’s health care reform).
It's hard to watch as this horrific piece of crap legislation is actually being debated and pushed after all the years of head banging DeMint, Talent and others similarly motivated underwent.
