Will the Republican candidates try to take credit for the Health Care Plan?

like they are doing with the Stimulus Plan? I wouldn't mind if they would get involved and make something happen but to sit back and whine like sean Hannity is demeaning to the rest of us republicans.

    Obviously!

    That's what the 'Party of "No" ' does!

    Someone ELSE gets a great idea and implements it; "Conservatives" fight it, but later try to take credit!

    It's the GOp's M.O.

    No! But will the democrats take credit for all the pork they put in the bill to get it passed. and the cost to the American taxpayer. America needed health reform and most believe that why did the democrats have to buy votes to pass such wonderful legislation. Or was this just a scam to hand out taxpayer money to the Democratic Representatives districts.

    not very likely, i actually believe it will be a talking point for the 2010 elections. and when did they take credit for the stimulus, i have not seen or read that. there was and is an ideology issue so that most of the time dems and reps do not agree. and i have not heard hannity whine, just complain.

    Democrats are going to get ousted from office because of this thing. Why would Republicans try to take credit for it? It would be political suicide to do so.

    Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is what Democrats do, not Republicans.

    Republicans will never try to take credit for th Health Care Plan because it is socialism and Republicans believe in Democracy. And what republicans tried to take credit with the stimulus plan??? The stimulus plan failed in every single aspect! The only thing the Republicans are trying to do with that one is explain to the stupid people that it failed terribly.

    I think the Republicans will use this bill to beat Democrat candidates silly.

    Ask yourself why you are a Republican if you support expanding socialism?

  • Only Liberals get away with lying about their accomplishments.

    Stimulus spending has never worked anywhere in the world. I watched the Canadian program the National last night, and it was reported that $1.2 Million was spent per job. Somehow the Left feels that's an accomplishment.

    don't listen to susan. while i respect her decision and vehemently disagree wit her, she has put a biased tilt in her answer. recently, its been hard for americans to understand mccain's positions on major issues (major conservatives have said so themselves). go to their websites and compare their positions and see which one is best suited for you, or vote for a third party candidate.

    no. this question is typical of the overwhelming ignorance of leftists. No one ho wants to be re-elected wants their name associated with either bills. Democrats are switching parties because the once great democrat party is now the communist party.

    Republicans will not take credit for ObamaCare for two reasons: it will be a disaster in every aspect and the majority of Americans are against it. Republicans have been trying to be part of the process and have put forward solid, responsible ideas but the Democrats have refused them all.

    Link to backup your claim?

    Governor Elect Christie (R) criticized the stimulus plan he won.
