GOP's Mourdock jumps gun on health care ruling

What an idiot...posted both his responses to the non existent SCOTUS ruling.

Apparently, Senate candidate Richard Mourdock wanted to be ready. The Indiana Republican's campaign yesterday uploaded videos to YouTube of his different reactions to the decision, including cheering the law's demise. The videos were taken down.

Here's one example of Mourdock's canned reactions, with a reference to his Democratic opponent:

"Barack Obama and Congressman Joe Donnelly are going to try and have big government make health care even more expensive. That may not be their intention, but that is what will happen," says Mourdock, Indiana's state treasurer, in one of the uploaded clips.

Mourdock made a splash last month when he defeated veteran GOP Sen. Richard Lugar in a primary. Indiana Democrats pounced on Mourdock's videos, saying they showed how much the GOP candidate wants to score political points.

Mourdock spokesman Chris Conner said: "As the Boy Scouts say, 'Be prepared.' "
