Congressman Steven LaTourette Speaks Truth To Power

If more Republican congressmen said what Ohio Rep. Steven LaTourette did today on the floor of the House of Representatives, the Democrats would be reeling even more than they are today. And it is over their inability to get their own act together on socializing medicine in the United States.
Somehow, the Obamawhore media is pinning the blame over the Democrat inability to nationalize the health care delivery on the Republicans.
Hello?
As Rep. LaTourette pointed out, the Democrats are in the majority in both Houses of congress. And also the White House.
Here are some of the highlights:

Mr Speaker. All through out history there’s been the big lie. And we got the big lie going here again. And it goes like this:

Republicans wont let us have health care reform. WAHHHH

Republicans are the party of no. WAHHHHHH

Why are Republicans stopping us from reforming health care? WAHHHHH

..We couldn’t stop a one car parade. This health care discussion is a fight between the left and the far left. And you know what? Sadly for the democratic majority they have people that think that this health care proposal proposed by the far left… is WACKY! It takes 500 billion dollars out of medicare . It does nothing with the lawyers as they file lawsuits and cause doctors to practice defensive medicine. This is a bad bill. They can’t even get their own team to row the boat. But they want to say Republicans don’t want to reform health care. WAHHHHHH

To me, the money line is this:

This health care discussion is a fight between the left and the far left.

Exactly!
The Democrat House, in which they have 257 seats, is fighting with themselves. Because of that fight, they can not and will not invite the Republicans to the socialization of health care delivery party. Because that would mean possibly letting the Republicans offer their ideas that actually may not be a total socialist disaster. It would mean-THE HORROR!-a real bipartisan bill.
But it will not happen.
And Rep. LaTourette pours some much needed firewater on the Democrat march to nationalizing health care delivery.
More Republicans need to speak truth to power. Rep. LaTourette did and should be commended.
BTW, does anyone think that if, God forbid, Dede Scozzafava should win the New York state 23rd congressional race, she would speak this truth to power?
And the crickets are still chirping.
