Inhofe says stalling health care reform could be good for GOP in 2010

this is what the republican party is all about----fuck the people for the sake of the party

Sen. Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, says it's unlikely the president will get a bill this year


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As Democrats continue to splinter over President Obama's proposed health care reform plan, Republicans are taking the opportunity to home in on a key argument: A good bill deserves more time and deliberation.
Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Georgia, said Friday that Obama's rush to put a bill together is "totally irresponsible."

"Most of us believe that the decision as to major reform of how Americans get their health care in this country deserves at least as much time and deliberation as it would take to select a puppy to live in the White House," he said. "It took the president six months to decide how long and which puppy he was going to have. ... To expect Congress to do something on major health care reform in six days is totally irresponsible."

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, speaking on conservative Hugh Hewitt's radio show recently, was asked about whether his party had enough votes to block health care from going forward. His answer: "I think so. I really do."

1. What's the chance we could drop this fool off on an Arctic ice floe
with a couple of really hungry Polar Bears?

2. You don't even really need the polar bears-
Given his willful and obstinate pigheadedness on climate issues, it would be poetic to have him simpy drown as the ice floe melted out from underneath him.
