Today’s Denver Post report on Democrats’ running roughshod over Republicans to pass Obama care contained this gem from Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform:
“If you’re a Republican and the Democrats have an 80-vote margin in the House, your one job is not to put your fingerprints on the murder weapon.”
There’s a time to offer constructive solutions and a time to just say, “No!” This is the latter. Nothing can make a government takeover — directly or indirectly — of health care palatable, and fortunately for Republicans who are too often enticed by the media to avoid appearing to be “obstructionists,” President Obama and Democrats aren’t inclined to offer so much as a fig leaf to entice the most wobbly-kneed in the GOP caucus.
