Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is vowing to repeal President Barack Obama's sweeping health care law.

McConnell spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference next to a tower of 20,000 pages of health care rules and regulations. He calls it a "monument to liberalism" and says Republicans will not back down from the fight.

McConnell faces re-election next year. He says Republicans need to rebound from election losses last year and, quote, "punch back." He says Democrats haven't had a new idea, quote, "since the days of the Studebaker."

He compares the possibility of Democrats nominating Hillary Rodham Clinton or Joe Biden for president in 2016 to, quote, a "rerun of 'The Golden Girls.'"

Ryan was right. They won't stop trying to destroy healthcare.

[City Lights]

1. Oh how I wish we could repeal their health care benefits!

I despise all things republican!

[Wilms]

2. That, and to make Obama a one-termer.

Oh. Wait. That didn't work either.

3. re:McConnell vows to repeal Obama health care law

4. McConnell just put down anyone over 55, along with any minority

Hey Mitch-the only republicantealibertariansdemographically are older white males and some younger white males

You just insulted 99% of those backing you

Hillary is going to kick the republicans ass and hopefully Ashley Judd will kick Mitch's so he is only a spectator in 2016

[kiranon]

16. Did McConnell just endorse Judd (the much younger) over

himself (McConnell is older than Hillary)? Should make a great campaign ad for Judd - McConnell thinks he is too old for the job. We should take him at his word and let him retire.

[AAO]

20. That would be a rerun of Jurrasic Park.

[booley]

5. didn't he vow to make Obama a one term president?

I feel like the GOP has become a huge political version of Tayler Swift.

Maybe the problem is them...

[LuvLoogie]

15. Is that you, Kanye?

She's got the looks; she's got the hooks!

[AAO]

21. IMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT BEYONCE HAS A GREAT VIDEO!!!

[Volaris]

24. now i'm listening to that song again...

I think that would be a GREAT campaign for Ashley Judd if she runs for Yertle's Seat...

[graham4anything]

17. Taylor Swift is a democratic person and one day may harness her power into politics

She single handedly revolutionized the staid country music industry

and her lyrics are not in any way the old male crying in your beer type lyrics

Trouble is strong female entertainers (even those the media at first lauds), soon find themselves on barbs all over.

BTW, personally I think the Kanye/Taylor incident was pre-planned and it actually helped Taylor cred wise.

6. One word: Judd.

Keep at it, Mitch. It's obvious he's confusing his party with the Democrats. The GOP is trying to take us back to the days of the Studebaker: illegal abortions, women stay home, have babies and keep their mouths shut, gay people don't exist, and we still get involved in wars without justification.

He sure doesn't want the tax rates for the top incomes to return to the same rates, though.

Judd, Judd, Judd: the cure for stupid.

7. A step ahead of the Republicans

Turtleman says no new ideas since the Studebaker well that puts the Democrats a big step ahead of the Republicans because the Republicans haven't had a new idea since the horse and buggy were the primary form of transportation.

8. A broken record...

... McConnell repeats the same, "I will repeal... I will make sure he is a one term... etc,..." ad nauseam every time he hits the CPACites. Have any of his claims come true?

[demwing]

9. If Clinton and Biden = a rerun of 'The Golden Girls'

Them McConnell = a reboot of TMNT, called "Old-age Mutant Senate Turtles"

Zeroes on a Half-Shell!

[The Stranger]

10. Why doesn't the media ever mention the fact that the Republicans have tried 34 times to repeal it?

They have completely wasted the time and the money they are being paid by American taxpayers by grandstanding with these fucking antics. Instead of governing, they pull this shit over and over and over.

[AAO]

23. And have done so AGAINST the will of 65% of Americans.

[Botany]

11. The republicans know that the A.C.A. will be very popular and so they have to stop it ...

.... but they have no chance to do that. What is this the 34th time?

[Dryvinwhileblind]

12. These asshats now have no choice...

...past the point of no return, completely beholden to the "crybaby caucus", (whether he denies it or not), and they keep on talking...talking...talking. They have NO solutions that serve the nation as a whole, nothing but greed, avarice, aspersion, bad attitudes and childish behavior. Make NO mistake, these young repukes are same as the old repukes. They are cornered, they know it, and they will never, do you hear me?, never come to the table dealing fairly and squarely, because they are ALL about any thing with "edges and angles".>>>FKM!

[Iliyah]

13. Whoah, bashed senior women,

hurt the elderly and pre-existing, alongwith minorities. Ashley please run!

[BumRushDaShow]

14. And he and his buddy Cheeto are a re-run of

[obama2terms]

18. Just like he vowed to make Obama a one term pres.

That worked out great didn't it!

[AAO]

19. This man has really soured me towards turtles.

I love turtles. They are great creatures. We need to get rid of ol' Tortoise Puss so turtles can get back their rightful good name.

Turtles are much smarter than this moron too.
