McConnell: Uninsured 'Not the Issue'
Posted by Big Eddie | Monday, July 02, 2012

Mitch McConnell took to the airwaves this past weekend and faced a tough interrogation from Chris Wallace who tried to get McConnell to reveal what plans the GOP might have to cover the uninsured. McConnell tried to dodge the question several times before finally claiming the uninsured are 'not the issue.' McConnell seemed to indicate the GOP is more concerned with the process than the results. Watch it.

Charles and Ukeman,

You are both correct. The Tea Party is a completely rogue organization now, it's every man and woman for him/herself. A good example of this is Rand Paul endorsing Mitt Romney. That came completely out of left field. He stuck his middle finger to the tea party and did what he thought would be expedient at the time. Even in the face of Romney goons attacking Ron Paul delegates in state after state at the GOP conventions. There is just no explanation for this. He's in it for himself even forsaking his own family.

This is what the GOP and Tea Party has been reduced to. They are at war with themselves. They will look for anything and anyone to be the "enemy" of the day. Roberts is their latest sacrificial lamb.

These are people that are going to become homicidal to get their way. We've got to get every last one of them out of power now if we intend to save what is left of this country.

Ok, as i have been saying the last year. republicans really want to loose this election so they can start a civil war or do something to the united states so they can try and take it over. their crazy, that the american people elected a black man to be president over a war hero like Mr.macain. they never got over the fact that whites and blacks live 2gather and love this country equally, republicans think slavery should never have been abolished, so now they don't want universal health care because it would keep alive those who they want dead. this truly is good against evil, I am not a democrat or even a republican, but i believe in decency and people, i believe people should be able to bare arms to protect their homes and family, but i also know i don't need a assult riffle to do that. as yourself this question why do these people need assult weapons except to kill other americans? I love this country with all it's faults and i will fight for her domestic or other wise.

Regarding the anarchy in the GOP streets about the "leak" and Robert's being the shill of the Libs and the Media.. the Media? (Rush). I thought they'd be tight lipped; after all you don't want to be too obvious about having the SCOTUS in your hip pocket do you?

I guess not; for all the railing against "activist liberal judges" they are hypocritically screaming and pulling their hair out about how Roberts was "supposed" to vote.

Looking at the source of a lot of the angst, the TeaBaggers, I can understand the stupidity, but never did I imagine a political party would line up so dishonest, and down right disrespectful of the U.S. government and its laws and traditions. Everything they are doing, from this to the fact that they have hoodwinked their own electorate into voting against their own interests just takes the cake.

Not to mention that in their zeal to protect big oil and big pollution, they are willing to let the planet go up in petroleum laced flames.

Come on Mitch McConnell: Give up your health insurance..............cancel your families policy & go without insurance if being uninsured is not an issue in our society??????????
Mr. Fargo

If being uninsured is not the issue.............then I challenge the media to challenge those against the Affordable Care Act to walk the walk in their shoes & give up their health care insurance................. Give up their children's health care insurance & their own.............how many of their children are benefiting from staying on their plan until age 26????
Mr. Fargo

Mitch McConnell clearly sugar coated what he wanted to say..........the uninsured don't matter to the GOP is what he clearly meant..............the middle class & working poor just don't count within the Republican Party.........they don't give a damn about you............YOU ARE NOT THE ISSUE..................just the collateral damage according to conservative thinking.........
Mr. Fargo

If the Republican Party & Mitt Romney want to hide behind their phantom secret plan............we just need to expose it & define it..........!!!!!!!!
Mr. Fargo

The Democratic Leadership & the Media must keep asking the Republican Party Repeal & Replace with what????????????

"GOP Don'tCare - uninsurance for all". The head turtle in the axis of evil - McConnell, Boehner, Cantor - and Prince of No is pushing for nothing for health care. Like the Bush and Reagan failed economic policy, the McConnell health care plan is pure trickle down - a common sense, step by step approach to nothing. Been there, done that.
