[Recovering_Democrat]

President Barack Obama is planning to host a televised meeting with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders on health care reform.

The Repubs are stupid if they fall for this.

Zero will sit there and lecture them on how they are not working with the Dummies and never having any ideas. Repubs are stupid if they fall for this stunt.

[Cheerio]

SEPARATION OF POWERS MEANS THE LEGISLATURE LEGISLATES, NOT THE EXECUTIVE!

He runs the Congress - he says jump and Piglosi and Harry say "HOW HIGH?"

NOTE TO GOP: Hire Rush Limbaugh to go up to the White House and deliver the GOP ideas - he won’t roll over like a dead dog!

[Candor7]

SURE GOP, LINE UP FOR THIS CRAP AND LOOK LIKE A STUPID BUNCH TO THE PUBLIC!!!!OBAMA IS JUST TRYING TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC HE IS " BIPARTISAN" WHILE SCREWING THE COUNTRY.

EFF OBAMA. LET HIM SWING. ITS ALL ABOUT IMAGE.OBAMA HAS NO PLANS WHATSOEVER OF USING REPUBLICAN IDEAS IN HEALTH CARE.HE HAS HAD A YEAR TO DO SO AND ALL HE COULD DO IS LOCK REPUBLICANS OUT OF COMMMITTEE.

OBAMA IS STILL LOCKING REPUBLICANS OUT, USING A DIFFERENT "TECHNIQUE." OF FAKE INVITES AND MEDIA MANIPULATION.

Obama is a Stalinist. Treat him like one. Ridicule him.

[prairiebreeze]

Obummer, Reid and Pelousy will cede to a few insignificant changes, the RINO’S will mug for the cameras as they reach across the aisle and socilized medicine will be made the law of the land.

Hope I’m wrong but my trust of the GOP is practically nil.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Prediction...McCain, Graham, Snowe,Collins.......the usual traitorous suspects.

[Syncro]

It is the people’s Seat. Not teddy’s

Yes, you are correct.

But if Brown uses their words against them, he can say "Speaking from the long tenure of the Kennedy seat, my ideas are...etc"

[Right Wing Assault]

I would LOVE to be a Repub at this thing. If the messiah would allow me to live through it, I want to ask him why he didn’t follow through with this when he and the dems were making all their behind closed doors decisions. And why he now is calling for this so he can try to make the Repubs look bad. That would be a start. Let the public know what is really going on here.

He first said he didn’t want to hear anything from us. Now he wants to have us make suggestions. Oh, we already made suggestions? Oh, he didn’t bother to read them?

Pubs better get united on this and get all their points lined up. Make sure they make sense to the public and then let ‘er rip! No surrender! We’ve got the upper hand now. DON’T blow it.

[Right Wing Assault]

McCain alert

Yeah, quick! Some one take him for a road trip during this.

[Always Independent]

Won’t work. The president is perceived to be the head of the party and the current GOP leadership isn’t going to let him come in and take over. And if he did he would stand a better chance of impeachment and being tossed out.

[ichabod1]

What if he gets reelected?

[luckystarmom]

I can’t imagine him getting re-elected. I’ll know it’s the end of our nation if he gets re-elected.

[luckystarmom]

I think they should have several smaller bills. I’d begin with these.

One for tort reform.

One for tax breaks for families to pay for healthcare.

One to open up the purchase of healthcare across state lines.

[ichabod1]

Well at least Murta won’t get reelected.

[hflynn]

I think we both know Tort Reform is a show stopper for Obama which is why Tort Reform should be uno numero for the GOP.

[parsifal]

I thought it was so good that I just couldn’t let it drop. You will probably be seeing “Operation Albatross” comments every so often from me. That way Rahm will be afraid to use it.

parsy, bravely defending the free world from possibly non-existent threats

[omega4179]

They already fell for the trap if this is announced.

[eaglestar]

I say lets have that televised debate.

Republican ideas;

1) Let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.

2) Allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do.

3) Give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs.

4) End junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it’s good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.

I say bring it on! And if this takes place, our side should remove the word abortion from their vocabulary and replace it with killing babies with taxpayer dollars.
