Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker Believes There is Still Room for Compromise on Health Care.

BY SHAILAGH MURRAY

Republican Sen. Bob Corker stood before a packed high school auditorium this week for his 24th and final town hall meeting of the summer, sketching out his vision for the bipartisan health-care plan he says he is convinced Congress can pass.

Ugh.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Vote him out!

[AlexW]

God, I had hope for Corker...
Maybe I was wrong.

[incredulous joe]

The President and the Dems are getting their butts kicked every day! Obama gone underground. Obiden is in chrage.

We’re surrounded and we’ve got the rats right where we want ‘em.

Why compromise?

[Shermy]

That insurance company money is very tasty for Sen. Corker.

Obama’s arrogant misfire on the “town hall” strategy made it harder for Republican politicians to sell out their country on behalf of the insurance companies. but the “public option” non-controversy gives them the cover, maybe, to pass the “fascist option,” Obamacare.

[Shermy]

“Why compromise?”

Insurance company payoffs.

What it is all about in the first place.

[vicar7]

Compromise with tyranny leads to ......?

[workerbee]

GAWD!!! When will the GOPers get it through their thick skulls that the Democrat party is the worst domestic enemy this nation has ever faced?!?!

There is a common ground," Corker said Wednesday in an interview before his final town hall meeting. "It's half a loaf, possibly, from the administration's viewpoint. But what it does is take us way down the field."

No sir, what it does is take us closer to Eurosocialism, just at a minutely slower pace. Go ahead and keep handing over those half-loaves... as long as you're happy eating the crumbs they'll throw you.

[DustyMoment]

And, thus, the sellout of America by the ‘Pubbies begins anew!!!

Are ya listenin’ Tennessee??

Ya better set this guy straight because, with the Dems, when we give a quarter inch, they take 300 miles!!!

[Cheetahcat]

NO get rid of this Guy!! We obey only half the Constitution?

[pissant]

What is it about Tenessee and RINOs?

[ZULU]

Corker = McCain, Snowe, Collins, Graham, Grassely, Hatch, Crist.

The kind of Republicans who give Republicans a bad name.

[incredulous joe]

Won’t insurance companies go out of business if this goes through?

[sourcery]

You have to know when to hold’em, and when to fold’em. Corker should not take up either gambling or trading. He’d buy (or hold) when he should sell (fold,) and sell (fold) when he should buy (hold.)

[KarlInOhio]

If someone wanted to give you a glass of sewage to drink, would you be willing to compromise on a glass that's half sewage and half pure water?

[newfreep]

Is OBOZO hiding his celebration of Ramalama-ding-dong holidays?

[elizabethgrace]

McCain, Gregg, Snowe, Grassley and now Corker are just dying to “compromise” because SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!

It’s a crisis, FGS. /s

[Shermy]

“Won’t insurance companies go out of business if this goes through?”

Insurance companies wrote the bills, own the politicians, own Obama.

The “public option” is a marketing gimmick. There will be none. It is Obams’s fashion of leading his minions to the compromise/back stab. It is part of his hope strategy.

[goldfinch]

If contentious provisions such as the public option and end-of-life counseling are sidelined, and a smaller, less costly and less controversial plan emerges, the legislation could eventually resemble GOP health-care proposals that aim to contain costs and expand coverage, although mainly through the private sector.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did the Washington Post/CBS News just admit the Republicans DO have health-care proposals. Until now, the MSM has been stuck on the Democrat talking point that those against ObamaCare want to do nothing...
