Eric Cantor has dared Harry Reid to have a vote on repealing Affordable Health Care.

Reid should tell Cantor -- "We'll have a vote as soon as you Republicants can give us something to vote on. Come up with a constructive, realistic alternative to the Affordable HEalth care act and we'll have a vote. But we're not gonna vote to jump off a cliff."

To the Republicants: Come up with one constructive idea or program and I'll not only vote on it I'll campaign for you! All you have shown is a facility for destruction.. With your Trickle Down, so-called economic philosophy you have impoverished the middle class (resulting in diminished aggregate demand). With Deregulation (either with the http://motherjones.com/politics/2008/05/foreclosure-phil">Commodities Futures Modernization act which made unregulated trade in Credit Default Swaps legal, or by defunding regulatory agencies) you enabled Wall Street Banksters to demonstrate that their greed is surpassed only by their stupidity (gambling billions on securities they didn't understand, believing derivatives eliminated all their risk). Without TARP (initiated by Bush continued and expanded by Obama) and stimulus efforts passed by Democrats your Trickle Down Nonsense would have caused the second Great Depression.

Now you want to kill the first law attempting to provide affordable health care to all citizens - which eliminates the preexisting condition loophole and enables people to keep their insurance even if they transition between jobs and which requires insurance companies to pay out no less than 85% of their revenues in health benefits to the insured - WITHOUT OFFERING ANY ALTERNATIVE LEGISLATION!


To you Republicants I say,

Fear is not a philosophy.
Cynicism not an ideology;
Nihilism, no a way to deal with problems.
Problems will not go away by ignoring them (no matter how easily people can be conned into believing this)

Look up "Republicanism" in the dictionary of common sense and you'll see it says: "an attitude of hopelessness, distrust and nihilism leading to corruption, decay and dissolution. GOP: the Gangrene on the body Politic.

You show me a realistic workable alternative to the Affordable Health Care Act and we'll have a vote.

Go ahead, I DARE YOU. COME UP WITH A WORKABLE REALISTIC ALTERNATIVE TO THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT, THEN WE'LL HAVE A VOTE.

ANY TAKERS?? DON'T ALL SPEAK AT ONCE!

....that's what Reid should say.
