In remarks prepared for a speech Thursday to the conservative Heritage Foundation, McConnell says it's all part of the effort to deny Obama a second term in the White House in 2012.So, how will the Tea Party members feel about no governing, just the opening salvo of the next campaign?

Senator McConnell apparently has no more intention of working with the President and the Democrats now than he has for the last two years.

Well it is an unpopular bill, so talk of repeal is reasonable. But the other comments about winning in 2012 send the wrong message at a critical time. He shouldn't be saying stuff like that.
Boehner has been doing an excellent job lately on message. I've never been a huge fan, but I've warmed up to him over the last few days based on what he's been communicating to the people.
They will be wasting a lot of money and time, but the healthcare bill won't be repealed. They don't have the horses to make that happen...
I agree--Healthcare Reform (formerly know as Obama Care) is settled law now. Besides, I thought it was both jobs and an improved economy that the outraged voters wanted most in 2010?
Hmmm...The new priorities (or motives) seem apparent and very transparent indeed!
PS: There is a reason the Mitch McConnel actually looks looks an undertaker, I guess.
It's not like politics is a beauty contest, as a whole congress is probably one of the homeliest bunch of people on Earth.
The victory was built largely on the heavy turnout of older blue-collar white men, most in the South or the rusting Midwest.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/04/opinion/04thu1.html

Republican leaders, who will take over the House and have a bigger minority in the Senate, say they heard the American people tell them to repeal the ?monstrosity? of health care reform, in the words of the likely House speaker, John Boehner. In fact, the American people said no such thing. In polls of Tuesday?s voters, only 18 percent said health care was the nation?s top issue. While 48 percent of voters said they wanted to repeal the health care law, 47 percent said they wanted to keep it the way it is or expand it ? hardly a roaring consensus.
The ?loud message? to cut spending cited by Mr. Boehner was actually far more muted. The polls showed that 39 percent of voters say cutting the deficit should be the highest priority of Congress, but a statistically equal 37 percent prefer spending money to create jobs. Fully a third of those who want to spend money to create jobs were Republicans.
