Healthcare repeal bill coming before Obama's annual address

The incoming chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee said Sunday that Republicans will bring up a healthcare repeal measure before President Obama even delivers his State of the Union address this month.

"I think there wil be a significant number of Democrats who will join us," Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said on "Fox News Sunday."

Upton said that leaders are counting on Democrats who voted against the massive healthcare reform package to do so again, coupled with greater GOP numbers.

"I don't think we're going to be that far off from having the votes to override a veto," he said.

I hope that now the holidays are over we get some leadership from our left-wing organizations. Why do Republicans think a???? "I think there wil be a significant number of Democrats who will join us,"..

That is a sign that there is ZERO leadership in our party.

Since there appears to be a VACUME in the official party, we need someone else to move in and do something about Dems who think they can run off the reservation anytime they want.

Maybe Moveon can step up. Dems who vote with the GOP need to be told in no uncertain terms that they will be fired in 2012.

It's ridiculous that we have no leaders. Just a huge mess with everybody running around in circles.

We need people to lead. If they can't do that they can just GO somewhere else. What a joke.
