Quote of the Day

"I don’t believe that there are votes sufficient in the Senate to repeal health care reform….We’re in this situation where there is some messaging going on…The real question is how much time do we as a Congress spend on this messaging? We’ve got a situation where our economy continues to be in the tank, the longest extended period of high unemployment since World War II….As important as making sure that we’re reigning in our health care costs — spending a lot of time on the messaging vote? I don’t think that’s what the American public wants us to do. …I don’t think what people want is kind of the messaging that’s going on."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)

Murkowski doesn't support Affordable Health Choices Act. Murkowski wants to change the the bill. If push came to shove she would vote to repeal. It is noteworthy that Murkowski calls out her Republican colleagues for message and not actual policies that move the country forward.
