House Republicans, toning down their rhetoric slightly, plan to reset the debate over the health law repeal Tuesday on Capitol Hill, building a strictly economic case against "Obamacare" after pausing for a week out of respect for the victims of the Tucson shooting.
GOP leaders are in unison in arguing that they cannot wait any longer to resume debate on the health care overhaul. While the repeal stands scant chance of clearing Congress or withstanding a presidential veto, Republicans say the public demands Washington start early chipping away at the law.
Both sides, though, may try a little harder to keep the debate from becoming overheated. President Obama and Republicans alike reject claims that political rhetoric contributed to the shooting last Saturday in Arizona. But the president urged Congress to keep the discourse "worthy" of the victims. And in the days following, House Speaker John Boehner has noticeably avoided describing the bill as the "job-killing" health care law.

Assist the legislation in planning its end of life goals.
Help the legislation make good reproductive choices about continuing to carry itself to term.
I agree. In the spirit of civil bi-partisianship, the GOP should rename it, "A Bill to Abort Obamacare."
“Assist the legislation in planning its end of life goals.”
We need a death panel for Obamacare. It needs end of life couseling NOW.
How about...job obliterating?
They should cut the crap and “get to work”.
Republicans:
You can ALL be voted out until there are real CONSERVATIVES in Congress, if that is what you want.
This issue will not be shoved down our throats.
Repeal it or defund it. There is no other way unless the SCOTUS declares the whole thing what it is...Unconstitutional!
Just what I was afraid of: “ building a strictly economic case against “Obamacare” “ — in other words, not talking about rationing; “quality of life” considerations in determing care, if any; not being able to pick your own doctor; etc...COWARDLY REPUBLICANS if they talk only of an “economic case” against a deadly new “health care” system.
I bet the Rats are giving them free t-shirts.
...dumb a$$es...the repubs will never learn. Every time the demoRATS want to put their arms around you they are looking for a way to stick a knife in your back. They’ve been doing it for years. When will the stupid suckers of the right of center learn this? It’s time to “target” and get those who want to make the same mistakes over and over and put them in the “crosshairs” of the next election! Stupid people shouldn’t run for office......
At what point do YOU grasp the idea that the Pubbies are anything BUT foils for the Dems? I was going to give them a chance, but they've blown it. I revert to an old statement, to wit:
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
In a word, no. Never have.
Those idiots better not agree to "co-mingle" (sit together) during the "O's state of confusion" oration either.
Duhhh.... game's lost, dude, and you're not among the winners.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
They're busy doing what they needed to get elected, by whatever lies, to do. You got fooled.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
We've seen that, haven't we? I even put my doubts in abeyance after the last election. But they show their true colors now.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
Oh, Geeze! Not this s*it again! The gutless, spineless, clueless, and brain dead Republicans strike again. Crap.
Buddy, this is our corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". What else would you expect from a basically bought & paid for group by the elites. The illusion of working for the average taxpayer is pure folly.
