The Republican pledge concerning Obamacare…

I didn’t bother to write about the president’s speech yesterday or about the talk concerning reconciliation etc because I consider it all for show to try to convince democrats and some republicans of the inevitability of democratic success. I’ve already staked a $20 gift card on it not being passed by the end of Lent but lets make the rash assumption that democrats manage to pull this off.

If that is the case then any republican running for office should be made to make to sign the following statement:

I the undersigned promise that I will vote for the full repeal of any Democratic Health Care bill passed by congress this session. I will repeatedly cast such a vote until the bill is repealed.

If I am running for a Senate Seat I promise to use the same reconciliation process that is used to pass the bill to repeal it. I promise to repeatedly vote for said repeal until it is completed.

If I am running for the Republican presidential nomination I vow to sign any bill of repeal that comes to my desk.

I Further promise to put up a bond for the total amount of the contributions to my campaign during this cycle. If elected and I fail to keep said promise I will forfeit said bond.

Considering how popular said bill I would hate to be any democrat running against a person who has signed such a pledge.

When he links to this speech for Gov Christie.

Compare and contrast to the president. This guy is for real and New Jersey deserves kudos for being wise enough to elect him.

The American People can understand common sense. He is speaking it.

Cripes I leave the room for 30 minutes…

…and Morning Joe hits the nail on the head about healthcare.

These guys are EXACTLY right about Massachusetts, they are exactly right about what the people think. They must have been reading my coverage last January.

And then they advise the WhiteHouse to pass it anyways because it makes them look strong?

A strong man is able to acknowledge reality and move on. This president is instead acting like a gambler who is on a losing streak and decides to mortgage the house because he KNOWS the dice are going to roll his way.

This guy is just amazing and Krista and company insisting they should pass it is simply mindblowing.

So let me get this straight Mr. Scarborough and co…

A bunch of slides on how to raise money is equal to:

Patterson’s ethics issues

Rangel’s Ethics issues

Stark’s big mouth

Massa’s ethics issues

They opened with all of these eithics issues and started to shakes their heads to begin the 6 o:clock hour only to call the politico in that was shocked shocked by some slides from an RNC fundraising plan?

First of all those images are so tame compared to anything that the democrats were producing over the period of the previous administration that it is an insult to the intelligence to say that the person making the slide for a fundraiser should be fired. (In fairness Joe did mention this)

If I’m the RNC I’m so owning this and comparing the reaction of the DNC to this vs the ethics issues.

and lets finish up with the president and the judgeship.

The Add writes itself, you list the ethics issues and compare it to the slide finishing with: What outrages the MSM more?

And now their first new guest is going on about how “disgusting” and beyond the pale it is.

I’m sorry this if you were MSNBC you couldn’t make yourself more foolish by making the equivalency. Then again it IS MSNBC the fact that they are reporting both gives a glimmer of hope.
