Senate GOP leaders worry that some of their colleagues are misplaying their hand on health care reform by suggesting that they want to kill the plan in order to hurt the president. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said last week that, if Republicans are able to stop Barack Obama on health care, “it will be his Waterloo, it will break him.”

I guess these are the GOP "Leaders".
Typical.
Distraction is correct:
“It makes people in the country realize that these guys are the party of no,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who sits on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
“A major part of the Republican Party just doesn’t want Barack Obama to succeed.”
And some of the commies are in the GOP
We also have Republicans telling us not to call Obama’s policies Socialist.
I didn’t get a harrumph outta that guy.
Give the Governor a harrumph. :)
I don’t know about GOP leaders. I don’t want to kill the bill because it will “hurt the president”. I want to kill the bill because it is bad for the country. If the clown who claims to be the president (no proof of natural born status) is hurt in the process, so much the better.
GUTLESS, SPINELESS WIMPS.....
And not only that, his comments fit nicely with the truth behind it as pointed out by Senator Grassley:
"Let's just lay everything on the table," Grassley said. "A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn't going to pass if there weren't some changes made ... and the president says, 'You're going to destroy my presidency.' "
If this is the truth, these “leaders” should leave the party and join there pals in the Democrat Party. The door is open!
Meanwhile, the person/people in the WH terrorizes the people every damn day. Apparently with impunity. Even a Secret Service agent was so offended by 0bama family comments that he asked 0bama to be reassigned.
DeMint understand that this is a war. It is a war to keep the marxist Obama from destroying the very fabric of the American economy and law-biding society.
Looks like Demint is doing all the real leading.
Oy vey. Defeat from the jaws of victory.
Since when did the Politico ever report anything?
This is damage control spin trying to make the GOP look bad.
Whenever they want to interfere with effective messaging by the GOP they always find ‘unnamed sources’, ‘staffers in the know’, and ‘party leaders’ to semi-quote.
BTTT
“Looks like Demint is doing all the real leading”
I called his office in D C thanking him, and mentioned Free Republic. All Freepers should do the same.
More likely tho, the GOP has many, many, commie aiders and abettors. They are afraid, weak, and are suffering the pathology of battered wife syndrome.
Useful idiots.
“If we’re able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”
Here is what the liberal communist media cut out...
And we will show that we can, along with the American people, begin to push those Freedom solutions that work in every area of our society."
Communist agenda MSM does not want you to realize there is a common sense solution on this issue that does NOT entail economic slavery.
They want to throw a "poor Øbama" pity party.
To hell with that.
