Health Care Summit: Should Republicans Attend?

Duh! Cameras are going to be in the room! Asking Republicans not to attend would be like asking the President not to meet with the Dalai Lama in public and to have him escorted out of the White House through the back door by the trash! OOPS, let me rethink this for a minute.

Those on the left would say that Republicans should attend to show a bipartisan spirit and to avoid being looked at as the party of NO! You know, those obstructionist radical Republicans!
Those on the Right say that there is no problem being considered the party of NO, especially when one considers the policies the party of NO can stop by sticking together. I'm not sure what those in Scott Brown's camp would say (that is if he has any left).

What scares me here is that John McCain is on the Republican Senate Team slated to meet with the Prez and his cronies. Mr. reach across the isle himself' although Scott Brown looks like he is going to make a run at that title. I think Jim Demint, Mike Pence and Jim Boehner should lead any Republican meeting with Obama and they should keep their hands in their pockets to assure no reaching across the isle is in play.

What should Republicans do in this Summit Meeting? They should SAY NO through demonstrating that the solution to health care reform is founded in supporting the Free Market Capitalist approach they have outlined several times; not through instituting socialist policies . They should ask the President and his cronies which current government run program, or company they plan to pattern their government run health care system after to insure fiscal responsibility. The Post Office, Am Track, Freddie, Fannie, Social Security perhaps?

No pressure here, it's only the future of our country at stake. Look, the current conservative movement afoot in our country would love for the Republicans to continue to be considered the party of NO. NO to more spending, NO to Cap and Trade or any Global Warming Voodoo policies, NO to any new taxes or tax hikes, NO to granting terrorists Constitutional Rights, NO to weak borders, and absolutely NO to the Democrats health care take over!

As a matter of fact, when it comes to the President's policy agenda, a good tag line for Republicans in Congress should be: JUST SAY NO!
