boehner And cantor Offer List Of Demands For Health Care Summit

[spanone]

list of DEMANDS? fuck both of you


A high-level exchange of letters Monday night in snowy Washington, as the House Republican leadership essentially paves the way for blowing off President Obama’s proposed health care summit by asking for a list of demands, and the White House responds by basically rejecting them.

First, the Republican letter, from Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor, asking 10 questions about the proposed talks, few of which were actual questions rather than requests. “Will (the President) agree to start over” on a new bill is one, and another asks if reconciliation, the process allowing the Senate to pass budget-related items with only 50 votes, is off the table. Other requests are familiar – wanting whatever legislative proposal on display at the summit to be up on the Web for 72 hours, for example. But most of them are intended to outflank the Democrats by bringing up some of the faults of the bill’s process to this point. For example:

1. How did they fit that on their hand?

2. I wish Obama would challenge the Republicans to a half day one-on-one debate

To the Republicans: Pick your champion from among your ranks and let's do this.

Refereed journal entries and certified analysis may be presented for support, but only one speaker may present.
5 min each speaker marathon. Support crews may provide coaching during the non-speaking interval.

This would be great. It has to be long enough for the population to see and have it ground in that the Republicans have no ideas.

3. Is there anyone slimier than Eric Cantor? His sneer/half smirk-smile needs to

be wiped off his face. Lets' give Obama extra credit for trying to sit in the same room with that slimeball.

5. No, boehner just looks like a guy who hasn't learned that that while two martinis aren't quite

enough, three's too many. Compared to Cantor he looks human.

9. Simple solution--Whatever bill is passed, it will replace Congress's current health plan
