The Heartless GOP In Action

The attitude of the Republican party toward those who are suffering because of our broken healthcare system can best be described by that oft-quoted Marie Antoinette line: "Let them eat cake."
My area's congressman, "Taliban" Pete Sessions (TX-32) might as well have given that answer as he refused to give a direct answer to a woman's concern about her situation that has been brought on by our healthcare crisis during a townhall last week at Irving's Ranchview High School.
Another Republican, this one from across the Red River, Sen. Tom Coburn (Oklahoma), showed the same callousness toward another constituent during another townhall.
Coburn's heartlessness was correctly exposed by CNN's Rick Sanchez. Here's that clip:

Coburn might as well have flipped the bird at the woman or have told his listeners, "Let her eat cake!" That's as mean as that response was.
Now, let's hear Sessions change the subject to the cheers of heartless supporters as a woman queries him about her healthcare concerns:

The Republican party has rightfully been called the party of no by many. With heartless and unconcerned senators and congressmen like Sessions and Coburn, there's little reason to think that that image is going to change anytime soon.
It's time for the Obama Administration to stop its efforts to negotiate with these callous critters and pass healthcare reform down their throats the same way these same Republicans when they controlled the Congress and White House railroaded morally irresponsible tax cuts for the richest 1 percent at the expense of the rest of us down our throats.
