As Voters See Benefits of Health Care Reform, Republicans Backs Against the Wall



















GOP's "Second Opinion" on Health Care Same as First

Back in March, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced his party's fall campaign to undo health care reform, declaring, "I think the slogan will be 'repeal and replace', 'repeal and replace.'" But a funny thing happened on the way to November. Surveys from Kaiser and Deloitte showed Americans strongly supported individual provisions of the new law, while Republicans' own polling revealed independents hated "repeal and replace." This week, an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed Americans want to give the new law a chance by a 55% to 42% margin. So the GOP is rolling out a new slogan on health care: "Second Opinion." Unsurprisingly, it's the same as their first.
Also covered at the link and here is the Republican lie that health care reform will cost more then planned. And the pitiful plan by Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) to balance the budget with a gimmick called YouCut - which will save less than one percent of federal spending. President Obama's health care plan will save workers and business a trillion dollars. Maybe Eric's adding machine is broke.

Hannity's double whammy: falsely claims Obama is cutting troops' pay and military spending. Sean, you keep trying some day you'll find your integrity - try looking in back of the refrigerator - and you'll start acting like you have a shred of honor and genuine patriotism.
