Republicans: Shame on you

It's really pretty simple. If the top priority of the Republican Party was improving the heath care system in this country, they would have already started crafting changes to the bill. Instead the Republican led House of Representatives has voted to repeal the Heath Care legislation. The repeal is a meaningless gesture, since it will never make it through the Senate and would be vetoed even if it did.

The Republicans have a second chance to actually try to make this bill better. They passed on their first opportunity, preferring to object to any attempt to reform health care regardless of what it was. If they wanted, the Republicans in the House could take the lead on making changes to make the bill better. They could push ideas Democrats agreed on and ideas they didn't. They would look like they were really trying to do something positive, and would look like they were concerned with making Americans lot in life a little better. Instead, they have chosen to grandstand. They have chosen to put on a show that has nothing to do with solving problems. It is a real shame.
