Mike Enzi, Gang of Six Republican, Admits He's Simply Blocking Health Care Reform

Source: Huffington Post

Mike Enzi, one of three Republicans ostensibly negotiating health care reform as part of the Senate's "Gang of Six," told a Wyoming town hall crowd that he had no plans to compromise with Democrats and was merely trying to extract concessions.

"It's not where I get them to compromise, it's what I get them to leave out," Enzi said Monday, according to the Billings Gazette.

Enzi found himself under attack at the town hall simply for sitting in the same room as the three Finance Committee Democrats. Republicans in the crowd called for him to exit the talks. He assured conservatives that his presence was delaying health care reform.

"If I hadn't been involved in this process as long as I have and to the depth as I have, you would already have national health care," he said.

As Cyndi Lauper might say, "I see your true colors shining through."

helping to cause the unnecessary deaths of an estimated 18000 Americans every year, for the sake of his political dogma.

Could it be called 'terrorism by omission'?

Like the piece of human filth really cares about that.

the sad fact is that many politicians with a "D" in front of their names are whores for corporate interests as well.

wait and see what the bill looks like?

it's too late.

I think they should toss the finance committees bill in the recycling bin.

They knew exactly what they were doing by insisting for a delay and these negotiations - same with other corporatist Dems pushing co-ops. They did NOT want Kennedy's HELP bill passed.

There are times when I wish I believed in hell.

Now I hope that Enzi was caught on video making those comments. That needs to go viral. It needs to be on the cable news shows. Their strategy needs to be exposed.

Two of three Republican 'negotiators' have stated public they are not acting in good faith.

They only act on what is good for their faith "greed".

How American... don't you think?
Land of equal opportunity and all that.... but just not. that. equal. in how our Senators work for All of Us, for the good of all the people of the country... or how every single person -- rich, poor, man, woman, child, black, white, purple, Repub or Dem -- are treated (or not) at health care facilities.

So, throw a party, Senator Peachy Keen Enzi -- smile your smug smile, do your little jig, wave your thousand little red/white/blue flags, put your hand solemnly over your heart and recite the beloved pledge -- BUT when it comes to the part about...

with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL....

remember: no...nope... not at all.

Because YOU killed liberty and justice for ALL .... so help you and your god.

What do you expect. Thirty years of disinformation coming home to roost. The GOP is just the ignorant peckerwood party representing a small part of the electorate. Screw them and move on. I'll never forgive that old POS Reagan for starting the racist ball rolling by opening his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Now they like to seem shocked when their base is a bunch of hateful people and they have to kiss their ass. Sow the wind and harvest the whirlwind.

Right from the horsesasses mouth. Now, can we cut out this bi-partisan bullshit and just pass the damn thing? Thank you.

As if the Democrats even pursued nationalized healthcare.

But no...Enzi alone stood up to the might of Dennis Kucinich, the late Ted Kennedy, and the friendly ghost of Paul Wellstone to stop single payer universal healthcare.

Absolutely laughable.

At the same time they're taking advantage of Obama's and the Democrats' willingness to deal, with maximum pressure applied from the corporate DC press corps for 'bipartisanship.'

FUCK BIPARTISANSHIT! (misspelling deliberate)

Let's revive Cash For Clunkers--- we've got two right here

Why do republicons HATE the citizens of the USA?

There is no negotiating with this crowd of GOP'ers. They are so heavily invested in DESTROYING Obama that they will support nothing that could possibly be considered a "win" for Democrats. Ain't gonna happen.

...gone from fourteen letters to four!

How warped does a person have to be to brag about being one of the people
more interested in party unity and greed than saving the lives of thousands of people who will die each year because they don't have insurance? What a pathetic little maggot.

Let's see what else we can compromise on.

:sarcasm:

he's PROUD of being an asshole!

He probably has a shrine to Glenn Beck in his bedroom, too!

Kind of like living downwind from a sewage plant.

How ill-informed must they all be if they liked what he said and re-elect him. This team sport attitude must stop.

:eyes:

They WANT America to fail.
