Obamacare Is Here to Stay
NewsReal Blog ^ | Sep. 4, 2010 | Chris Rowan

Posted on 09/04/2010 3:46:35 PM PDT by thecabal

Hugh Hewitt interviewed Senate minority leader John Boehner a few days ago, and could not get Boehner to commit to a rapid legislative agenda to repeal and reverse the democrat’s leftist legislative cramdown after the midterms in November. Boehner hemmed and hawed, sounding every bit like the establishment inside-the-beltway career politicians that got us into the dire economic mess that we’re in now.

To make matters worse, Bill Kristol related to Hewitt on yesterday’s podcast that he asked a “high-ranking GOP leader” what their plans were, what they intended to do should the GOP take control of one or both Houses of Congress, and this unnamed source said that they were trying to get members to sign off on a “No Earmarks” pledge, but said it was very tough going. Kristol was incredulous.

In this election year, with this blatantly obvious tidal wave of resentment and outright anger rushing toward establishment politicians (and quasi-socialist redistributionist Democrats), there are not enough Republican lawmakers with the backbone and moral courage to sign a pledge banning pork barrel spending?

Boehner and Steele should both be deep 6'd..... Get out now! Go home! STFU...just go....

Neither understand the full reason for democrat blood in the water...it could as easily be theirs...they just don't get it. There's is next.....the chopping block is oiled and the cleavers are sharp.

If they do, they will cease to exist as a Party.

Rowan rightly points out the hard cold truth. We have two enemies. Dems and GOP statists.

This author is reporting the stench of corruption and GOP statism. Read his other articles. We should be thankful someone is out there watching and listening and reporting. The worst thing we can do right now is shoot the messenger.

Congressman Boehner....

I have 4 words for you...

Speaker of the House Popaditch

Pardon me for not being magnanimous, but I am so sick of GOP weasels that let us down. If we get a new crop of citizen legislators, I hope some new blood challenges all the leaders ship and sends them to the back bench.

Only if we let them. Let’s start bombarding Boehners office and the rest of the repubs know we want no more RINO’s and ‘’bi-partisan’’ footsie-playing across the aisle. Over my dead body’’ ObamaCare’’ is ‘’here to stay’’. Nuts to that!

With Dick Morris predicting 80 seats change now, that would put the Republicans 3 seats short of 60%. With that kind of House-cleaning, how many Dems could we expect to flip in an attempt to save their job.

With that said, I would beleive Boehner is not a shoe in for the Speaker with that kind of change as well. Add to it that he is lucky nobody decided to take him on in a primary. If he does get the gavel and goes at things like he has for several years, I would expect this term to be his last.

It was not Drug coverage - it was Catastrophic coverage and a superior program. Stupid seniors decided $5.00 was a premium too far. Premiums for Medicare have increased anyhow.

http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2009/09/catastrophic-medicare-reform/26666/

Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988. Unlike killing Medicare Advantage, this enjoyed broad bipartisan support. Democrats liked expanding coverage for seniors and the disabled. Republicans were happy as long as you paid for it, and thought it would boost their image with seniors. The AARP gave it the big thumbs up. All sides had to stage a dramatic retreat a year later because seniors screamed bloody murder over the premiums. The benefits were actually pretty useful, but deficit neutrality was political suicide.

Republicans will NOT repeal this thing. It is too useful a toy and provieds tremendous new opportunities for graft and corruption.It will be an endless subject for special legislation to help out this aggrieved group or that one. It is bread and butter and gravy for the politicians, even “conservative” ones. And besides Republicans will not vote for firing all those new government employees that the Kenyan is furiously hiring for the many new agencies and for the IRS. They are “conservatives” acter all, and they will conserve the new institutions and the faits accompli whatever they are. Our Reupblicans are Tories not conservatives.

Absolutely correct. I’m sick of mealy-mouthed Republicans who refuse to fight; e.g., Bob Dole and John McCain. Given a choice between being praised by the NY Times and Washington Post for their civility and being combative and pugnacious in defense of the country, they opt for the former. McCain was sickening the way he put Reverend Wright off limits for criticism. He should have called out the lying Obama every single day. He let a fourth rate pedagogue and certifiable fraud walk right into the White House. From George Washington to an empty suit in a little over two hundred year! Dreadful. Hey, GOP, grow a pair. Run to repeal Obamacare, close the border, no more anchor babies, less taxes and less government. What’s so difficult?

Most of these people wouldn’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of if they were not politicians.

You betcha! That's why we really need term limits.
