“The Repubs have systematically come down hard on Oshama’s health care plan, strategically picking various pieces out to criticize.
Kudos to them for doing their part in standing so strongly against it that now even Feingold is saying it’s not going to happen.
This is a victory so far and the Repubs should be commended for standing for what’s right on this” (end snip)
LOL!
Excuse me, but the leaders in the republican party have not slowed down the democrat marxist plans.....THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE!! THE TEA PARTY PATRIOTS HAVE! THE PEOPLE AT THE TOWNHALLS HAVE SLOWED THIS DOWN!
We have not won yet either. Don’t get too comfortable.
It is National Security that Mr. King is looking out for, and I am grateful that he is speaking up.
Obviously. Which is why I said "so far".
The leaders have certainly helped as well as the protestors. They have spoken out again and again from the beginning that they are against the plan, and they have pointed out the junk details of the bill. Grassley himself withstood enormous pressure to make a deal which kept a Senate bill from being written before the break which was a huge morale booster for conservatives, and which gave impetuts to people taking to the town halls. Grassley could be a weak link since he is wishy-washy at times, but he has done the right thing so far.
In this Congress, our reps also have stood strong against the huge bills the Dems passed with the exception of THREE out of 200 or so.
Give some credit where it's due.
