Pelosi should be in a jail cell.

0—care may be the law, but it will not withstand the laws of economics. There will continue to be challenges to the mandates including anti-mandate amendment proposals, expanding exemptions, state opt-outs, and widespread non-compliance.

Way to rally the troops - What a pathetic loser. There is no way in hell this guy should be majority leader if we retake the Senate. Of course, he will be w/o any real opposition, because it’s his turn and to do otherwise might hurt his feelings.

Goodbye cruel world—hey it’s not over till the fat lady sings

Noooooo, surely not.

Not a man who has a family crest with the slogan “Death Before Partisanship” with RINO rampant carrying a white flag on yellow field.

McConnell had BETTER stay right where he is, in Etown!! He needs to face all his constituents, who will AGAIN be beating his door down to let him know exactly how how they feel about this. Because you can take to the bank the bet they will be there!!! I know a lot of them, they have done it before and will do it again. And again and again.

Mooshelle is donning her spear and magic helmet as we speak.

He is diminishing expectations. He is not 100% committed.

God! I am tired of pussy-men.

OK someone from KY, it is too late to call anyone down there, was this guy just re-elected or is his term up anytime soon?

[Mortrey]

Hey, Mitch;

Let’s just “DEEM” it repealed.

[gidget7]

BTTT!!

Great post nicmarlo

[editor-surveyor]

McConnell is pure elitist excrement.

[gidget7]

Is there a way to get him to step down? I know we need a lot more conservative Senators, but is it possible for them to vote him out?

[Terry Mross]

You hit the nail on the head. If the gop leadership would introduce legislation removing congress’ exemption from obamacare, most of the dems would be afraid not to vote for it. But boner and mitch won’t do that because they WANT the exemption.

The only bright side that could come from this is a true conservative challenging Mitt at the convention. Then again, most who go to the convention are the elites.

[Terry Mross]

This law never was about healthcare. All it talks about is insurance. I can have good insurance and not be able to find a decent doctor. What this law is about is destroying this country. And they’re almost finished.

Thanks for this thread.

” - - - U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the odds are against repealing the health care law championed by President Barack Obama.”

That is why I call you Senator Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell. You sir, are part of the problem, an ESSENTIAL part of the problem.

[Moorings]

He's probably propped up by the Dem wing of the “R” party... the ones who help the Dems get their agenda through. Among the conservative senators, there aren't any feisty enough to challenge him, or at least embarrass him.

One thing I feel is that with Mitch in charge of the senate and Boehner as speaker and Mitt as Prez, conservatives are not going to get much accomplished.

I have family down there on facebook, they just assured me they have all emailed him almost exactly word for word, what you just said. They also told him to expect visits very soon. They have done it before, will do it again!

Turkey neck and the cry baby boehner need to go.
