GOP keeps goal of dismantling health care while changing tone (Don't Retreat, Reload!)
washington Examiner ^ | 1/18/2011 | staff

After a week of mourning and reflection in the aftermath of the shooting rampage in Tucson, the House will get back to work this week under a Republican majority set on dismantling Democratic policies, starting with President Obama's signature achievement, the health care reform law.

The Republican legislation retains its provocative title, "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Reform Act," but the tone will likely change as the two sides work to avoid any of the "incendiary" and "vitriolic" rhetoric that has been cited by pundits and politicians as a contributing cause to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and 19 others.

Police portray the man charged in the shooting, Jared Loughner, 22, as apolitical and mentally unstable, but his actions have nonetheless been linked with the political discord that escalated in recent years between the two parties. As a result, Republicans and Democrats plan to tone down the House debate even though they're deeply divided on the issue.

” “incendiary” and “vitriolic” rhetoric that has been cited by pundits and politicians “

And, of course, we’re just gonna let the ‘pundits and politicians’ (AKA Dems) be the unchallenged arbiters of what’s ‘civil’....

Control the language - control the minds.....

And when the LEFT sstarts to see their price and joy being destroyed with great civility, they will revert to ad hominem attacks. And the press will support them.

I guess we are going to have to smile and be polite while we rip the dim’s nuts out by their roots.

Good... our side has plenty of verbal ammunition... and we are better at it... and can use words containing more than four letters.

One goal seems to be to disable the English language.

Affirmative (or “yep” over at DU).

Using prevocative and sometimes colorful language against the leftists, which they do all the time, helped toss these a-holes out of office last November and turned back the communist assault against Palin and the Tea Party last week.

Now the left wants us to play nice. To hell with that. Use what works against these Stalinist scum.

I am not surprised that the RINOs would gleefully exchange their lead bullets for rubber bullets so that they would be seen as a kinder, gentler, and agreeable bunch.

We are in an all-out war to retain and save our freedoms and the GOP is caving into the enemy at every turn...starting with sitting with them at the State of The Union propaganda session so that they can demonstrate the axiom “can't we all just get along.”

I just heard on MSNBC another Republican House Member has agreed to sit side by side with the Rats.

Who said, the republicans can get on the back of the buss. If any, anyone in the republican part has any stones, they will start off reading that statement into the congressional record. And continue with a new one each day.
