McConnell vows to grill vulnerable 2012 Dems on healthcare reform repeal

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said he will force Democrats to vote on a repeal of the landmark healthcare reform law when Republicans control half of Congress next year.

“I’m hoping we will receive from the House of Representatives a full repeal of Obamacare; it will be hard to get that through the Senate,” McConnell said on CNN's "State of the Union."

McConnell said he hopes “that among those who had maybe second thoughts in the Senate, including the 23 Democrats who are up for re-election in ’12, there will be some openness to revisiting what I think is the think is the single worst piece of legislation in my time in the Senate.”

Democrats are nervous about controlling their Senate majority after the 2012 election as 21 Democratic senators, as well as two independents who caucus with them, face re-election in what is expected to be a difficult political environment.

1. Too bad that it's permanently tabled as long as Reid is the Majority Leader

keep on dreaming, fuckhead.

If anything at all, the mandate is gone, and it will be replaced by single payer heath care choice, cutting off insurance industries completely.

2. I say we send chinless mitch pacifiers.

He sucks anyway, but that will give him something to suck on - other than the Weeping Orange Boner.

3. He can say anything he wants

But as has already been mentioned, Reid is the one who will decide if such a bill comes to the floor, and if it does, Reid will look like an idiot!

All McConnell is doing is trying to appease the teabaggers, and the morons back home who vote for him. He can say anything he wants, make all kinds of threats, but it's all BS, and he knows it! How many bills were blocked by the republicans from getting a vote in the last two years? It's payback time for turtle man!

4. Does he know that he's the minority leader

Ah STFU Mitch.
