“Party of No continues futile push against health care bill”

“One need not demonize today's GOP, for it's doing a terrific job of that all by itself.”

Republicans are writing the book on how to be poor losers by vowing to repeal the just-passed health care reform bill.

The party of 'no' image will backfire on the GOP if this negative campaign continues. Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institution in Washington says that the Republicans "overplayed their hand" in attempting to block the health care legislation by banning together. The bigoted and hateful behavior of tea partiers have further damaged the image of conservatives.

There comes a point that conservatives will have to accept the new law. Even down the road if the Republicans gain many more seats, what would they accomplish by yanking health care coverage from 32 million children and adults?
