Republicans Vow to Pass Universal Health Care When They Take Back Control
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 12:17 PM by berni_mccoy
Joint presser just given by Sen. McConnell and Rep. Boehner

"Nothing is more important to the Republican Party than Universal Health Care. We plan on passing this as soon as we have control of the House and Senate, which could be as early as 2012 if we defeat the current Health Care Reform Bill today. When we have control, we will see that every American has equal access to the best health care in the world. We just don't want Democrats to be the ones to bring it to you. While we did hold the Congressional majority for decades, other more pressing issues like unjustified wars in Iraq took precedence. But, assuming there are no wars when we take back control and defeat Napolean, er Obama, we should have no roadblocks to passing HCR when we have the majority. Also, for any interested parties, to raise funds for the GOP, we have some bridges in Brooklyn for sale. Please visit http://www.gop.com for the latest deals."

This press release was brought to you by the bipartisan Anti-HCR Coalition.


Anyone who believes that we'll have another chance for decades at passing HCR, please feel free to visit http://www.gop.com.

On Edit: :rofl: yes, I really need to put a :sarcasm: up. :rofl:

1. Bullshit!
A Republican executive, and a Republican controlled congress? It would be status quo, without any reform introduced at all. Total bullshit.

7. No, no, no. Sorry, I wasn't addressing you
I was making my own response to the McConnell. Sorry, not meant toward you. Just the Republicans claiming such a thing is just so unbelievably ludicrous.

8. They aren't making that claim.
It's a fake story made to make a point to those who think we'll have another shot at HCR.

I fell for it, as I didn't read the whole thing before launching my tirade. See, I could actually imagine those two actually making such a claim, shameless liars that they are.

13. Even when I clicked on this, I was pretty sure it was a "made ya look"
kind of thing.


So I give the odds of that happening about the same as Jimmy Hoffa coming home.
