Glad They've Thought This Through

From Roll Call ...

House Republicans presented a four-page outline of their health care reform plan Wednesday but said they didn't know yet how much it would cost, how they would pay for it and how many of the nearly 50 million Americans without insurance would be covered by it.

[Captain Hilts]

1. I'd say they were pitiful if I had pity for them. nt

[spanone]

2. the party of ziltch

[Caliman73]

3. Are we sure it isn't their budget plan with a new cover?

They are such idiots.

[Skinner]

4. Isn't that what they did with their "budget" earlier this year?

I seem to remember when they proposed their budget, they promised they would unveil the numbers the following week. Did they ever unveil their budget numbers? Or is this becoming a trend?

[babylonsister]

6. Yes, they presented a budget with no numbers. They did

follow-up on that with something equally lame that was laughed at iirc.

They are creating a trend because they're just so full of new and striking ideas!

[Raine1967]

5. They did the same thing with the budget!

What the hell is wrong with these people???

Never Mind... It's the way the GOP Rolls, Baby... :eyes:

[nomaco-10]

7. Another example of the irrelevancy and total road to...

utter obscurity the repubs have been reduced to.

I guess I must be a bitter person, because I'm enjoying every minute of watching their downward spiral daily on the msm.

[Wickerman]

8. But they did it in 4 pages, so its efficient government

Its small government at its best; they'll let the lobbyists write the details and it will all come out just fine.

/sarcasm

[Cha]

9. Rec'd~ So more people can see

how "they thought this through".

[DJ13]

10. This pisses me off

Not because the GOP is so lame, that we already knew, but because our party (with the majority) is unable to pass meaningful reforms because it might hurt the feelings of the lame GOP.

Which party is the lamest?

[hfojvt]

11. I am sensing that the 'plan' involves tax credits

Tax credits that are NOT refundable, and thus only available for families making over $40,000.

That's just a guess.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Another stunning piece of work by the GOP!

[Kaleko]

13. Can these guys get any more brazenly infantile?

Who do they think they're fooling at this point?

[Arkana]

14. Morons.

Isn't this exactly what they were lambasting Obama for?

It's probably four pieces of construction paper with crayon writing on it:

1) MAKE INSHERINS LESS ASPENSIV
2) MAKE MORE PEEPEL INSHERD
3) YELL AT DEMMYCRATS
4) PROFIT

[gratuitous]

15. Well! That sure showed 'em

Four pages and that whole health care reform thingie is knocked into a cocked hat! And all you libruls thought it would take some in-depth effort.

I'll bet if they used a font smaller than 28pt, they could have gotten it down to three pages.

[babylonsister]

16. Much ado about nothing, this is.

How they can point to this and bellow they came up with one is beyond me.
