In his first Kentucky comments since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that even if "Obamacare" is repealed, the health care law will not easily go away.

Uh Oh. McConnell already growing weak! Only days since SCOTUS ruling and he already trying to temper expectations.

How about this Mitch. If you can't get the job done then get the hell out of the way so someone else can!

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell must be replaced by someone as tough and nasty as Reid, Pelosi, Schummer and etc.

Perhaps the TEA Party can unwind you from the Senate, if you can’t do the hard stuff, Mitch. Ask Dick Lugar how that works.

Mitch McConnell should read op-ed by Keith Hennessey in today’s WSJ:
A Strategy to Undo Obamacare.

The court decision was worse than the legislation.

You can now be taxed whether you have or don’t have insurance.
You can now be taxed whether you have or don’t have flu shots.
You can now be taxed whether you have or don’t have babies!

That is the essence of what Roberts said.
TRAITOR!!!!!

My reaction to the headline, and the excerpt is SO WHAT!

You McConnell as a representative of the people just might have to work a little harder for awhile!?

Geez, tough talk then a couple of days later he’s weaseling out. Not even subtly.

Do your Effin’ job Mitch. Where in his oath of office does it say he’s only required to attempt the easy stuff?

I’ll bet all of his pants have yellow stains on the front.

We are so screwed.

How many times do we have to be fooled into thinking that there is any difference between the Republicrats and Democans? It is all “bread and circuses” to appease the masses.

THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS COUNTRY IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. Not even Al Capone on his best (or worst, depending on which end of the gun you’re on) day could not rival the government for corruption, lawlessness, theft, conspiracy and a whole host of other crimes.

If he doesn’t make it easy for the law to go away, we will make it very easy for him to go away.

When the revolution comes, please, please guard the airports so that Pelosi et al cannot escape.

I shall be manning the guillotine with a video recorder set up to record the wonderfulness.

It WILL be hard to unwind.

That is the way it was designed by the dictators.

They’ve been trying to imbed it in everything ever since.

McConnell is tiring, but you people who know only the one trick of wasting McConnell because of a sentence or phrase taken out of context, are positively exhausting.

His words are true.

So??

It was hard to do a lot of things in America but we have done them.

So what if he says true words about the nature of the embedded Obamacare?

So WHAT??

A new administration can just not implement it, as they undo the damage.

Buck up. Mitch, and spot whining.

It wasn't hard when the Progressives rammed ObamaCare through despite a vocal majority of We The People consistently opposed it.

Well, We the voters are going to give you a majority in both houses of Congress as well as the White House and we d*mn well expect you to grow a spine for a change and do the right thing.

Until then, you make me ill.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mitch. Us yokels out here have easy jobs that supply us with Cadillac health care and an excellent retirement package while you poor legislators in Washington have it so rough.......

Turtle needs to be sent home.....for good.
