Fox's Stuart Varney followed up with one of the GOP's "most prominent members" Tom DeLay on his statement that the Repubicans have to repeal the health-care law if they regain control of the Congress. Just another preview of what we're in for should they regain control; repeal, obstruct and defund everything while holding endless hearings.

DeLay: GOP in 'big trouble' if health law not repealed:

The Republican Party will be in "big trouble" if it does not repeal the healthcare reform law, former House GOP Leader Tom DeLay said Friday.

DeLay (Texas), who was recently dropped as the subject of a federal investigation, threw some sharp elbows at the Obama administration in an interview on MSNBC when asked what new ideas the GOP would put into place if it takes control of Congress this fall.

"They are going to have to reverse everything the Obama administration has done," he said. "If they don't repeal healthcare reform, they are going to be in big trouble."

Debate has swirled over what Republicans will do to block the healthcare law from taking effect.

Many lawmakers in the party now say a full repeal would not work with President Obama in office since he could veto the proposal. Some have argued that stripping the law of its funding would be a wiser strategy.

Still, other candidates and lawmakers want to push ahead with a full repeal measure, at least to show that they are committed to the idea.

DeLay rejected the argument that campaigning on healthcare repeal would hurt the party by drawing attention away from the economy, which is rated by voters as the top issue for the midterms.

"No, all you have to say is healthcare reform is destroying the economy and it will destroy it even more if it is allowed to go into effect," he said.

DeLay, whose pugnacious style earned him the nickname "The Hammer," accused the Obama administration of "trying to bamboozle the American people ever since it took office" and defended the GOP's governing credentials.

"Oh, they're definitely ready to govern," he said. "The leadership is in place" and the candidates are the type people want, he added.

Yeah, great leadership like that brain trust they've got in Boehner, Pence and Cantor. It would be nice if this guy finally gets convicted for money laundering so he's sitting in jail where he belongs instead of appearing on television.

As opposed to the "where else you gonna goers", democratic party partisans should take great heart in radical republicanism.

In contrast to the GOP, their leadership will always appear... more mature. It's not, of course. It's overripe; it's rotten to its core.

But it provides convenient cover to the pathetically timid and corrupt.

After all, where else are you gonna go?

How do criminals like Tom DeLay get to be out and about freely, while people like Don Siegelman and Sibel Edmonds are threatened with legal action. What is wrong with us, this system, this situation.

for not indicting this p.o.s. thus subjecting us to his insane rants while ginning like the cheshire cat. Why am I voting dem again?

This evil dwarf, Cheney, Bush, Limbaugh, Andy Coulter, Beck, Palin, and many other Conservative **********s are on my list of people I don't believe even when they are correct.

it seems to me that you never hear Repugs saying that we have to "look forward and not back" like the democrats do, like Obama did which time and time again robs us of the justice we deserve.

it just goes to show that both parties have nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law. we need new parties.

No surprise that nothing worthwhile came out of this interview.

Yeah, go ahead and run on that, dancing fool. The only thing people are really concerned about in the coming elections is the economy/jobs.

I would love for the Guardians Of Prejudice to run on a platform of "Repeal Everything!" It's not a winning strategy.

Not that I think the Democrats deserve any more terms, but having the Republicans lose is important in these times.

I listened up to the point where the guy who likes the sex slave trade said the government needs to understand the plight of business people. To avoid vomiting, I had to stop the video.

Nice how FOX Theatre let him not answer. So where's the news, the information in that. It gets reduced to a campaign ad.

To be expected from the FOX perverts, but the other networks have the same BAD habits.

Nowwhat's picture

Democrats are in trouble for not trying to repeal and reverse the BushCo policies. The Democrats just "improved" them. This is ridiculous. Democrats needed to be radical, they didn't and are likely to loose some seats now. Loosing seats is not for sure, something big has got to happen, something of significance....all I can think right now is, "You Suck Man".

I really wouldn't care if they defunded parts of it. The regulations are the only good part of it anyway. I do notice no Democrats even mention medicare for all or a government option at all. They have so many winning ideas they are ignoring this campaign season.


Republicans are liars and simply cannot be trusted.

They'll be in big trouble because the bill will ultimately become popular like Social Security and Medicare did. You'll notice that very few Republicans will talk about ending either program. They may make some noise about changing it at the margins. Try asking a Republican in a swing district if he/she is in favor of "privatizing" Social Security and see how fast they back track from such a proposal.

It is good to see who the GOP is really concerned about.

what did you expect from Ouday Bush and Ousay DeLay?

where corruption is not only tolerated but encouraged. This piece of human excrement should be in jail. The DOJ couldn't find enough to go to trial? The Dems don't know how to govern and are as corrupt as the Republicans. Christ on a scooter what have we become where this monster is given air time?

Man, it's so stupid when the number of pages is mentioned for a bill. They way those things are written so that the old farts in congress can read them— with giant font, triple spaced and huge margins, there's like 10 sentences per page. If they printed it out in the same format that they do most books the health care bill only comes out to about 300 pages.
