WASHINGTON (AP) - The new Republican-led House is poised to deliver an emphatic thumbs-down to President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul, with no ready substitute of its own.

The GOP has had a very good plan for two years that laid decomposing in Madam Mussolini's desk drawer, never to see the light of day. It does everything that needs doing, and doesn't raise the deficit.
Get rid of this piece of junk, and then they can get to the good stuff.

Its a lot easier to spout off "Adolph Blah blah blah" then it is to defend a complete waste of time... even if this passes the house its DOA in the Senate.
