71. It was proposed as the alternative to HilaryCare

It used to be that they would at least try to come up with a counter to the Dems. Bush and his pals never tried to get health care passed. Shows that they have sunk to mere obstruction, never wanted to govern, only want to rule.

A dictator would be ok as long as it's me!
