Freedom Fighters Run and Hide on Vote to End Government Health Care
Not a single freedom fighting Republican voted for amendment to end government run health care. Yes it's worth repeating, not a single person who had been calling Obama's health care reform effort socialism, voted to end an actual socialist health care system, medicare.
If Republicans were really against government health care, the first thing they would do is vote away the very plan they receive and then do away with Medicare and Medicaid. But they aren't against government-run anything, as evidenced by the last 8 years of total government expansion under Republican rule. They just want to be able to walk around with boners talking about small government and how they are freedom fighters. A pathetic bunch rotten to their very core.
