The Hypocrisy of the Republicans

Did you about the one incoming House Republican freshman that  is already complaining that the affordable health care coverage he gets FOR FREE as a Member of Congress doesn't start soon enough for him?!  This is the candidate that the Teabaggers elected to congress.  This is the same Republican that defeated a moderate Democrat in large part over the health care law debate.  Republican Rep.-elect Andy Harris denies the stories that he threw a hissy-fit over a question about his new congressional health care coverage, that he'd have to wait a month for his federal health care coverage to kick in.   Awww, poor baby.  There other families in America that have no health insurance today, tomorrow, or in one month.  But he has to throw a tantrum over the fact that he has to wait a month.  Politico and other outlets described Republican Rep.-elect Andy Harris as throwing a bit of a hissy-fit earlier this week over this issue.  They received their information from multiple, independant sources who were at that same meeting as Andy Harris was. 
I think there are many other Republican health care hypocrites out there.  Don't you?  So, I signed a petition that asks whether House Republicans will stand by their words by refusing the tax-payer funded health care benefits they get before trying to repeal health care reform and make it harder for all Americans to get affordable coverage.  I want to hold the Republicans' feet to the fire by exposing all of the health care hypocrites in their ranks. So sign the petition, too.  Let's see how strong the Republican's principles really are.
