3-27-10 Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell Delivers Weekly GOP Address On Health Care

In the Weekly Republican Address, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell discusses the flawed health care bill passed by Democrats this week and why it should be repealed and replaced.

Leader McConnell says, "In one of the most divisive legislative debates in modern history, Democrats decided to go the partisan route and blatantly ignore the will of the people. Americans opposed this legislation, and, now theyre clamoring to see it repealed and replaced. Democratic Leaders and White House officials may be celebrating their victory this week, but most of the rest of the country is not. Most people arent interested in celebrating a bill that makes their lives more complicated, takes more out of their paychecks and puts decisions theyre used to making themselves into the hands of federal bureaucrats."

GOP Healthcare plan:

1. Everyone converts to christianity and prays.

2. bloodletting is now free.

3. Doctors are all liberals so they're all fired.

We're in this mess because of Republicans!

I say we remove the socialized health care we Americans pay for that these Republican politicians enjoy!

I've just found my Howdy Doody puppet. I wondered where I'd misplaced that thing... But why is it wearing glasses?

The health care bill was so flawed that you had to relieve your stress at that lesbian strip bar. I feel your pain GOP, I really do.

@friendlyAlien1 Like I said. I don't believe you were ever in any danger of being called a Republican, who If you had listened, wanted to responsibly close the holes in Medicare. (What we HAVE for people w/o insurance.) The bill will only raise costs and is already negatively effecting unemployment. You never were a GOP supporter, you just want to muddy the water. If I'm wrong, and you were, then on behalf of the conservatives, "Morons need not apply, Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

The top 1% own 95% of all wealth in this country (including the means of production). If you are not in the top 1% and you are a republican, you should take advantage of the second amendment rights you cling to and play russian roulette with an automatic. YOU ARE QUITE LITERALLY SLAVES WHO SUPPORT YOUR MASTER'S AGENDA AT THE POLLS.

@draconiansdevil

if you want to talk about expen$ive unsuccessful wars, how about lyndon johnson's "war on poverty", which in the 1960s massively expanded the size and scope of the federal government while doing next to nothing to alleviate poverty. its lasting legacy is a generational dependence on government, which sadly will be compounded by obamacare.

Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize - socialist (also know as progressives). Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this "socialist movement." However, for the socialist within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialists have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

In spite of everything our Democratic Party representatives in Washington will borrow $1.6 trillion this year, or about $15,000 for every household in the country. Over the next 10 years our federal government is expected to borrow an additional $8.5 trillion, and this is on top of the 12 trillion we currently owe. These figures are beyond being enormous, especially since we already pay one in seven dollars in interest.
