Republicans go nuclear with health reform distortions
(video: The Rachel Maddow Show)

Over at The Hill, Rep Anthony Weiner (D-NY) writes:

I said it on Wednesday, and I’ll say it again: the Republicans really are just a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.

Thursday’s summit proved it: They want to destroy Medicare, shovel money to insurance companies, and screw over the American people.

First we let the Gang of Six make the rules, then we let Olympia Snowe and Joe Lieberman have their turn. It got us nothing!

Time to kick these cons to the curb.

The Maddow Blog:

Health reform is going to happen — health reform is going to happen. It has passed the House. It has passed the Senate. They are going to bridge the gap between the two bills using reconciliation. Republicans can do nothing about it. They lost this one.

The obstructionist Republican hypocrites and the Prey-Away-the-Healthcare-Reform fascists of the radical religious reich (yeah you, Jim Garlow and Lou Engle and Tony Perkins!) can down a hot, steaming cup of Shut the Fuck Up.
