Cornyn sez GOP will present own healthcare option



Starting with your very own free GOP blood pressure cuff for the “ownership society”?br /br /No, seriously, John Cornyn says the Senate GOP will present a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/070809dnmethealthreform.1ee657bc.html"its own healthcare reform option/a.br /br /State-based solutions? That means Texas/South becomes El Cheapo on this like on other, related issues. CHIPs, anybody? Beyond that, Cornyn’s smoke and mirrors offered no details.br /br /So, let’s call his bluff. Visit his website a href="http://cornyn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm"and send him a webmail/a demanding specifics of his “program.” I did:br /blockquoteSen. Cornyn, stop being dishonest.br /br /As a newspaper editor and a blogger, I insist and demand that, if you have a **specific** healthcare reform option to that of Senate Democrats, you present it. A vague claim of “state-based initiatives” without any details is nothing but posturing to a political base that you apparantly fear losing after your tea-party booing last week./blockquotebr /There you go. br /br /Meanwhile, Cornyn offers the best reason yet for MoveOn to keep running its advocacy ads:br /blockquote “You are beginning to see some fissures and fractures on the Democratic side on the public option, the play-or-pay mandates, and controversial issues like that,” Cornyn, R-Texas, said in a conference call Wednesday with reporters./blockquotebr /Oh, send the National Republican Senatorial Committee $100 and you get your very own free GOP blood pressure cuff for the “ownership society.”div class="blogger-post-footer"There is no god and I am his prophet.img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7532871-8732030731951990237?l=socraticgadfly.blogspot.com'//div
