Wow, Republicans Are Scrambling... can't say what they want To ADD to the Bill

[berni_mccoy]

Rep. Blackburn just got called out on MSNBC. She was asked "Republicans are always talking about REMOVING things for bipartisanship, not ADDING to the discussion. What could be ADDED to the Bill to bring Republicans into the discussion?"

Her response: Nothing. We need to start over.

In other words, they have NO IDEAS.

3. Obama tried

He gave them what they want and it still isnt good enough. Fuck them, they just want to poison his presidency.

4. That was a strong fame Obama built.

Any ideas will be heard. Status quo or killing the bill will not be tolerated.

5. Tax cuts for the extremely wealthy! n/t

9. This time it will work!

I feel it in my bones!

6. They do have an idea....

KILL THE BILL. That's the only idea they have. They think the status quo is just fine and do lip service only to the idea that there are problems with the healthcare system beyond that the "free market" is not being allowed to work--you know, the market that is "free" to gouge you and me six ways to Sunday?

7. In other words they want to "kick the can down the road"

just as Obama mentioned in his speech. In the meantime, more people people die or go bankrupt.

10. She nearly stuttered - caught totally off guard.

Good one, Ratigan (sp?)!

11. Would that more reporters would actually ask questions like that.

I mean, good Lord, the Righties seem to get a pass to say anything they want. So why not pin them down with something specific? You know. Say what you really want.

I like that the Prez threw them a bone with the whole "frivolous lawsuits" study. OK, we'll look into that. Most experts I've read have said that the whole liability issue is like a couple of percent of the problem.

12. Bipartisanship, to them, means we "bi" their partisanshit! /m
