McConnell: We’ll Repeal Obamacare, One Way or Another
National Review Online ^ | July 3, 2012 | Robert Costa

Posted on 07/04/2012 6:50:29 AM PDT by Jedidah

" . . . Repeal of Obamacare will be the first item up in the Senate if I am majority leader. If we have a president who will sign the bill, we will do everything we can to get it off the books, and we’ll be looking for every angle that could be pursued. There has been a lot of talk about reconciliation. The Chief Justice said this is a tax, and we take him at his word, so that certainly makes this eligible for reconciliation. But that may not be the only avenue that we pursue. Our goal will be to get it off the books. In my view, it is the single worst piece of legislation that has been passed in modern times, and I’ve said that on numerous occasions. It’s still my view. And just because the Supreme Court has decided it is constitutional doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do."

McConnell couldn't lead a pack of randy homosexuals through a Chinese cat house with a wad of cash and fistful of credit cards.

Nice description, let me try one.

He couldn't find his ass with both hands even if you spotted him nine fingers.

Cheers!

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? Did someone get the message to the dumbass, that he should have kept his friggin' mouth shut when he said that repealing ObamaCare is a "long shot because.....it's easier to stop a Law in the first place than to undo a Law." That really helped our cause by depressing voters and suppressing the vote to retake control of the Senate on Nov. 6. I put his office phone number on this site Tuesday and asked FReepers to call his office and tell him to STFU. Maybe that helped. I can't stand that a**hole, McConnell.

” Enough Tea Party Patriots could lead a new Congress, and put the SCOTUS back into its box. The USA was never intended to become a tyranny of five judges. It’s in the Constitution: The Congress is superior to the SCOTUS. There are NOT “three co-equal branches” as most believe. “

Great point!

” If we get the Senate, we need a ruthless conservative to lead it. Repealing Obamacare, all 2700 pages of it, is a matter of life and death. We can have no reconciliation to keep any part of it alive. McConnell failed to keep comrade Snow in line to block Obamacare from a vote. Because of Snow, we have Obamacare. Because of McConnel’s weakness, we have Obamacare.”

NAILED it.

“Im sure he strikes fear into his collegial friends in the SINate... “

Yeah.....the Senate is afraid he will die of old age, and a REAL man might step in.

well, WAS he misquoted or was he not?
Did he pull an obama and say he “misspoke” once he realized the calls for his head?

What is the truth here?
I can believe he said it and I can also believe the MSM misquoted him.

Who knows?

How about “extremely flawed men doing a less than SHI++Y job at best!”?

McConnel says IF he’s majority leader, the firt thing on the agenda will be to repeal obamacare. I wonder if he’d still be in favor if he’s NOT majority leader. Or will he act like a little baby and try to stop it.
