My annoyance here isnt because her point is invalid I said the same thing last night about taking care to keep Congresss priorities in line with voters but that, as a member of the caucus, shes gift-wrapping a meme for the media about the GOP overplaying its hand or whatever. The Times a few other outlets have already picked it up, in fact.
Yes, of course its important for Republicans to keep spending and the economy as their first order of business (ask former Speaker Pelosi about that), but isnt that bound to happen now anyway? The House just voted to instruct the various committees to work on drafting alternate health-care legislation, which means this issue should be off the radar screen for weeks or months.
DeMints promising to somehow force a vote on the repeal bill in the Senate, but thatll fail and then O-Care will end up on the backburner in that chamber too.
Meanwhile, weve got Obama set to talk about spending and deficits and jobs jobs jobs on Tuesday night and an epic battle about the debt ceiling coming next month, so Im not really seeing how were dangerously bogged down in this issue. The Democrats spent nine months flailing around in the health-care quicksand. Boehners spent, what, 10 days? Even an eeyore like me isnt worried (yet).

I’m worried that Murky is spending too much time in congress.
Liberal wimin, they’re always so smart, purdy and kind.
Do I H8 RINOS more than Socialists? Yes....
Our watchword should be “NO MORE LOOT”.
We really need an active wing of the Tea Party movement in Alaska. There is a lot of stuff happening there.
Too much time on 0bama death care?
As opposed to what, exactly?
More spending?
Hey Murky: As opposed to the Democrats who are spending too much MONEY on 0bamaCare.
She’s got a mouth the size of a grouper. Shame her brain isn’t as big.
I am convinced that everyday when a RINO wakes his or her first thought is given to how they can help the opposition that day.
The thing is, Murkowski is not a RINO. She’s not a Republican at all, in name or in anything else. She won re-election as an Independent, defeating the GOP candidate. If the GOP had any brains, they’d throw her the hell out of the caucus. All she will do is damage the GOP brand every time she opens her socialist mouth.
Second week: pretty much shut down because of the Tuscon shooting.
Third week: vote to eliminate Obamacare.
The Republican House has spent a fraction of the amount of time the last Congress spent on this. This was a two page bill which everyone had time to read, instead of the two thousand page bill which no one in Congress read.
If you were worried about Republicans, you would not have run as an independent after you had been beaten in their primary . . . you self-absorbed, RINO Commie w***e
She is worried folks.
Yes, but her point is certainly “invalid.”
We need to get spending under control, and that means that the first thing we need to do is kill the biggest socialist takeover of our economy ever.
Or does Allahpundit, who is often a jerk, think that a few trillion dollars down the health hole doesn’t matter? Close most of the hospitals, fire most of the nurses and doctors, and replace them with bureaucrats?
RINOs beware; your day is coming...
As an Alaskan, let me offer my sincere apologies to the rest of the United States. We really messed up, and when I say “we,” I mean “them.”
