GOP frosh: Where's my health care? (28 day wait for gubmint coverage)

Nix said Harris, who is the father of five, wasn’t being hypocritical – he was just pointing out the inefficiency of government-run health care.

Here's the critical line the poster should have excerpted as well.

That said, we should always be skeptical of any media story. It is the media. Worse, this is Politico - anonymously sourced "scandal" - just about at the unnamed gossip level.

I take the Star and National Enquirer more seriously than an anonymous Politico story.

At the end of the day, though, I know how you feel. We've been tricked so many times we almost expect it, but we don't want to eat our own.

that’s O-litico, not politico. O is for Odumbo.

I have NEVER worked for an employer that gave coverage the first day of employment. Actually, one month is the lowest I have ever had.

You also probably have never been a physician employed by a hospital. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if all physicians get coverage from day 1. Hospials understand that without good docs there would be no hospital.

"What a goof. Total idiot. We have some clear dumb freaks we elect. How hypocritical can you be. I don’t believe for one moment that he is a conservative Republican....a conservative Republican would not be this stupid. Being from Maryland, at best he is a RINO."

Obviously you know nothing of Dr. Harris or this part of Maryland. Around these parts the candidate with "Speak English!!!" on their sign gets the most votes.

Harris is a military veteran and doctor who is very active (along with his wonderful wife) in the pro-life movement. He is a "rino killer", having beaten rino incumbents in his races for both local office and congress.

In addition to being pro-life, he:

Supports Amendment to prevent same sex marriage.
Supports education vouchers for public or private school.
Supports Identifying constitutionality in every new congressional bill.
Has an A rating from the NRA.

Harris is one of the good guys.

I think he was making a snarky ironic point.

But that’s not how the left is taking it.

This is probably nonsense generated by Politico. It all starts—the “gotcha hypocrite” Jon Stewart BS. We can’t jump at hooks baited by Soros media.

[Crichton]

Always interesting to see the morons who lap up every little bit of crap the media feeds them.

It is amazing how newbies come here in 2010 to troll. Did you get kicked out of DU? It is clear that you come here to cause trouble. Now that you did why not go back to where you came from. 2010???? Really?????

[Crichton]

You're an ignorant patsy suckered by anonymous quotes in Politico into attacking a strong conservative Congressman.

You're embarassed to be made such a fool of, and you should be.

But that's no reason to continue to lash out at conservatives. Just eat your crow and use your head in the future.

A CONSERVATIVE physician complaining about his government-run health care.

Did not anyone think that perhaps he was pulling their leg?

[napscoordinator]

Another loud mouth with nothing to give. You came here in 2010 so you have no right to say a word. You got kicked out of your liberal websites so you have to come here and cause trouble. 2010????? STFU!
