It's on his to-do list, but U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the odds are against repealing the health care law championed by President Barack Obama.
The Kentucky Republican said Monday it's hard to unravel something of the magnitude of the 2,700-page health care law, WHAS-TV reports.
"If you thought it was a good idea for the federal government to go in this direction, I'd say the odds are still on your side," McConnell said. "Because it's a lot harder to undo something than it is to stop it in the first place."

Well that just goes to show that all those opposed to ObamaTAX are racist, right ABC?

My comment wasn’t about you! I meant that McConnell (the subject of the article), Boehner, and the other establishment RINOs should start talking plain, making bold statements, and start knocking some heads in Congress — rather than the same old game of “being collegial” with treasonous Democrats. Unfortunately, only a very few (Tea Party Repubs) seem to have the guts to do this. Boehner doesn’t want to upset his good golf partner Barry......
No, not Chamberlain, Caspar Milquetoast. Yes I should have captioned it, I would not have gotten it if I hadn’t posted it myself.
On the other hand, Chamberlain is apt description of McConnel too.
The perfect response.
It’s on his ‘to-do list’ ? Oh My.
Right below, Grow some.
No, I totally got what you were saying.
Was reacting to your screen name. Was just talking to family on the Jersey shore and was nostalgic. They’re in for a festive day.
It will definitely hard when we have a spineless, gutless RINO leading the fight!
McConnell’s attitude reflects the attitude of the caucus. You change the makeup of the caucus, you change what is pressuring McConnell in the background. This means it is essential to make sure people like Mourdock are elected in Indiana...him replacing Lugar in the caucus would make a difference...but we need more than that...we need to take the majority as well to even have a shot.
It is difficult to undo something once it is started of this magnitude. We know from experience that is spot on accurate. It is up to us to change the make-up of the Congress - especially the Senate - if we are to have any hope of undoing this, then once this victory is achieved, we must then really pour on the pressure to get it moving. That’s the reality we face.
“I was so discouraged reading the headline as I thought McConnell was one of the sort-of good ones. The media is going full force in lie mode.”
“The headline is a fake”
I said as much when this was posted a couple days ago.
What are YOU doing to make it possible? Harry Reid runs the Senate.
Mitch is a no-ball, elitist, go-along-get-along appeasing, aisle crossing, chickenassed RINO bastard...
Abortion is losing steam and take a look at the number of states with CC laws. We’re winning.
When you ask this question I assume It's me to whom it's directed. I, sir, am not in the U. S. Senate; rather the Senator from Kentucky is and he has done little to prove himself worthy. As a senior citizen, I have for most of my adult life done everything possible to turn this nation back from the precipice, but it is now in the hands of God and a gaggle of incompetent political animals.
Well this is a disappointing push back...........
IMO we have a one party system. What we have a choice of is "heart attack(D) or cancer(R)".
What we have here is a battle for POWER, and I see little difference. Lord help us all.
Happy Independence Day to you all.

Yes, and that will require tremendous local effort and possibly a decade or two.
In that case, happy day to you too! Although part of me fears that this may be the last Independence Day where the sun rises and sets over a land of the free.
It’s a tax. I can be repealed by a simple majority in the House and 51 votes in the Senate. Because it is a tax, repeal cannot be subject to filibuster.
First off, Ky get rid of the RINO.
