Deal Not Done Yet
No, not a health care deal. We're talking about Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA), who earlier this month said he would resign his House seat in order to pursue his GA GOV bid.
But, with health care on the table and set for quick action once House Dem leaders round up the necessary votes, Deal says he will delay his departure until Mar. 31, 3 weeks after the original Mar. 8 date he set.
"Just two days after I announced my intentions to leave Congress, the majority party stepped up the schedule for the proposed health care bill. Having been deeply involved in all health care legislation for the past decade, I knew it was important to stay and vote down this bill," Deal said in a statement.
Deal's campaign said he had talked with Gov. Sonny Perdue (R), who encouraged Deal to stick around until the health care debate is over.
Way to stand up for The People, by denying them affordable, stable health care.
These Republicans are just so backwards. But do they care their whole campaign of fear was exposed? No. They don't. They don't care at all. They are not embarrassed at being liars and fear-mongers. Because they just don't care period.
