Rep. Ed Markey: G.O.P. Now Stands for Grandstand, Oppose and Pretend

Rep. Edward Markey on the Republican's "do nothing substitute" health care bill. Well said Congressman.
Markey: You know the G.O.P. used to stand for Grand Old Party. Now it stands for grandstand, oppose and pretend. They grandstand with phony claims about non-existent death panels. They oppose any real reform and with this substitute they pretend to offer a solution while really doing nothing. G.O.P.--grandstand, oppose and pretend and make no mistake about it the Republican substitute is not real reform. It does nothing to curb skyrocketing healthcare costs. It does nothing to provide real insurance coverage to millions who are now uninsured. It does nothing to stop the unfair practices of insurance companies. I urge my colleagues to vote no on the Republican do-nothing substitute.

Go Massachusetts go! I love that state.
Finally they are growing balls
Otherwise there will be no party..The Independents are growing based on the do nothings we continue to elect..We need 'Statesmen and women' not corporate shills..
Now name calling is okay but doing something about legislation is the job!
You go Edward Markey!!!!
Way to go Ed Markey. Show the GOP what you are working with.

Despite House Passage, GOP Warns Dems to ... 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'
applies 100% to anything that would benefit the American citizen.
a better name for them is the opposite of us progressives, "REGRESSIVES."
Being one of the 'lucky ones' still employed and insured ( and who pays through the nose for medical care) I still cannot afford to go to the doctor because of all the expensive tests that are sure to follow. Bankruptcy will ensue immediately afterward (and recall the Rethugs made filing bankruptcy even harder now; maybe they knew this was coming long before it hit?) . And these Rethugs want us all to be under the thumbs of the insurance providers, so that we are equally squeezed and receive as little as most insured people do?
Howe much more of this can this country take before it explodes?

Rep. Grayson has brought a new virus to the house.

Had 1 Need another 1!

you gave us nothing we asked for? Why should we listen to you revel in how you managed to make it look like you were giving us health care, but were just protecting your bribes?
get down off the horse Mr. The guy from the Pony Express needs to leave for Ft. Leavenworth now. You need to go get back on the stage for Boston.
I thought it stood for Greed,Opportunist and Pitiful... I'm sorry I was wrong...it stands for Greedy Opportunistic Parasites.
piss.... Grandstand, oppose, and piss on Americans. I guess Mr. Markey couldn't say such a word on the floor of the House. It is a tad coarse however accurate it may really be.
GOP is not a real party ... it's a hard core criminal front operation in place to protect and enrich the elite. The Republican cult is comprised of morally bankrupt, often not very bright, incompetent, obstructionists, who if not for government employment would be working as golf caddy's for a living.
