There's really little opportunity for the spirit of bipartisanship to exist when you have a part-time operative for the Obama administration/cable network political commentator throwing bombs about the GOP for not catering to the Obama administration's wishes on health care reform.

CNN political commentator and Democratic strategist Paul Begala bashed the opposition on Fox Business Channel's Feb. 10 broadcast of the "Imus in the Morning" program. He claimed the problem wasn't stubborn congressional Democrats wheeling and dealing behind closed doors on health care reform legislation but Republicans wanting to be obstructionists.

"Well, it is kind of preposterous," Begala said. "The Republicans bit is, ‘Well, we'll work on health care if you stop and end and scrap all the progress we've made over the course of a year.' Well no, actually. The health care bill already has 213 Republican-sponsored amendments - 213. And for that they got zero Republican votes.

Listening to Paul Begala talk is like listening to the scratch of fingernails on a chalkboard.

Begala: proof positive that a large forehead is no indication of brain size.

It is illegal and has been since the 70s do drop anybody from health insurance unless they lied on their app and still the company only has 2 yrs to find out. This is a pure scare tactic.

Pray for America’s Freedom

Democrats want the right to decide who and when people get healthcare.

Is that little schmuck Begala still around? Who cares what he says?

Yes, he is still around because slugs like Imus continue to give losers like Begala a platform.

Yep. I sure do. They’re in a BUSINESS. :)

Just like you ought to be fired, Begala, for being a complete ignoramus about the Constitution.
