Why are the Republicans suddenly acting so childish about the health care bill?

[SWBD]

I am not sure what exactly Michael Steele said but Sarah Palin was awful. She is putting cross hairs on her website to show the districts of Democrats she wants to see defeated. Then on Twitter she told her followers not to worry but just reload (their guns). None of this seems very professional.

Becasue they put all of their political capital on line to oppose President Obama and the health care bill. And that got spanked BIG TIME.
Their whole agenda went down in flames. It's a little humbling and they don't have the class to admit they were wrong.

There's no denying there's been imprudent behavior by Republicans recently.

Death threats and vandalism.

It seems a lot more professional than back room deal and payoffs. Were those made by the party you like?

i didnt know about the crosshairs . hopefully after the news of the threats on some dems she will take it down an calm down her people . im not holding my breath. the gop have been inciting revolt an dissension ever since the campaign. she was the one who yelled terrorist at obama. to answer your question. they have millons of dollars in contributions from insurance. this is public record. if someone gave you a million to speak against it. would you? i think the last thing is that the know this will be successful an will hurt the election chances for them if it gets going.

What isn't "professional" or even ethical is President Obama and Congress passing an unconsitutional bill that the public is against.

What isn't professional, is Obama and Congress having backroom deals and making bribes and threats to get this Socialist agenda passed.

Sarah Palin is correct in placing cross hairs on her website. The only true thing Obama has said during his Socialist Presidency is "the time for talk is over" he is correct about this.

Palin and Steele are doing what the democratic process allows for. They are not raping the consitution like Obama and the sicko socialist liberals. Sarah Palin said nothing about guns... another liberal lie.

They didn't get their way, so now they want to cry about it.

What it does is show how low "partisanship" can get.

In this country we VOTE for what we believe in, AND WE VOTED ! ! !
The keynote of the Obama campaign was health care reform, if someone didn't want health care reform they shouldn't have voted for him. If someone didn't vote for Obama (like me), they/we were in the MINORITY!
end of story

Got news for ya;
I was a small business owner for the better part of 40 years, and this law would have been a godsend! Finally at long last there is a chance that small business owners (like me) will actually be able to afford insurance for our employees.
Businesses with less than 50 employees still are exempt.
Businesses with more than 50 employees will be able to join a "pool" to buy insurance at an affordable rate.

They are embarrassed because they were cought in their own greed.

We were talking about this in my class today and most of the republican students just kept saying the same thing: "Why should we pay for insurance that will help lazy people who are bums that don't work hard enough to make money" ...and these are 18 year olds that are just mimicking their parents beliefs. I find it really sad that republicans(not all) are just saying no to anything Obama suggests because they're still sore about a democrat and an African American at the most winning the election. I completely agree with you that it is childish to actually go and threaten people because you lost. Especially Sarah Palin. That's going to be held against here for when she runs for president. I believe that this is great because a lot of my friends sadly have cancer and were denied health care just because of their condition as well as my parents never being able to afford health care(they're not "bums" they work very hard actually, but are still unable to afford it) I don't see this as unconstitutional because Washington even agreed that the constitution is confusing and can be slightly altered at times for the good of the people. Also this isn't taking place for a couple years so are they going to cry from now until then? They lost so why can't they deal with it in a mature way?
