Corker: Health Care Won't Be Repealed

This man sounds reasonable. There must be a typo in those intitials after his name.

Ring, O bells!
Rejoice, forsooth!
A Republican has told the truth!

This legislation is a horrible, America-ending, fascist, communist, armageddon! Uh, we're not going to do try to do anything about it though.

Corker was speaking at Vanderbilt. Before the HCR vote, Vanderbilt University's Chancellor came out strongly for the bill. Vanderbilt has a big medical center and it is getting killed financially by having to care for indigent patients. The HCR bill promises some relief from that vise. If Corker has spouted any nonsense about "repeal and replace", he would have been politely hooted off the stage.

Don't look for constancy on Corker's part, though. He sounded reasonable for a while on banking reform too, before he was herded back onto the reservation.

Corker is putting a crimp in the 'dumb money' hose.

What I find entertaining beyond measure is the wild-eyed Right wingers shrill, apocalyptic wails of world ending terror should HCR pass replaced with a stupified..."uh...we're still here...what happened?"

Republicans really have painted themselves into a corner...and continue to do so with their "repeal" chants...pathetic, but still...very, very entertaining.

put a cork in it bob.....see PUBLICANS like to talk out of both sides of their mouths....say one thing around crazy tea partiers and then talk more rational around not so friendly confines......obama has beaten the gop on healthcare...obama passed a bill that is TOO HARD TO GET RID OF,because BIG BUSINESS (CORPORATIONS) LIKE IT ....as do most publicans behind closed doors......they all want thier hands in the cookie jar (gov't contracts and subsudies)

This is why Zombie can walk up to you and seem like they really want to be your friend, but before the night is over they suck all the blood out of you.
Could It be the new 'Drill Now' statement by His Majisty today has made some Repubs lose there sence of direction?

I'm old enough to remember when the GOP included rational folks like Everett Dirksen, Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford, Jacob Javits, Ken Keating, Margaret Chase Smith, Edward Brooke and, well you get the picture. Now all that's left is an ever diminishing pool populated by Sen. Lugar and a handful of others fearful of being branded "RINO."

Yes, I am a life-long left-leaning Democrat and no, I've never been able to vote for any Republican. But I have always believed that our political system functions best when our political parties approach national issues as Americans first.

Until the Republican Party gets over losing the last series of elections and starts to put forward positive, practical alternatives to Democratic initiatives, I suspect that their numbers will continue to shrink along with their actual political significance.

Doing something in Washington is always a risk because "something" might ultimately fail. But doing nothing is almost certainly guaranteed not to solve important problems.

Repubs in Tennessee call him a RINO. How sad. You tell the truth and they disown you.
