This past Monday, I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon at the J. W. Marriott in Grand Rapids (MI) hosted by Richard and Helen DeVos featuring minority leader John Boehner (R-OH). The lunch provided the venue for a fundraiser for the National Republican Campaign Committee or NRCC. The NRCC raises money for Republican congressional candidates. The event was attended by most of Michigan's Republican congressional delegation as well as several wannabees.
During Mr. Boehner's remarks, while speaking about the trouble the President has gotten himself into over health-care reform, he mentioned some things that Republicans could support, like tort reform, purchasing plans across state lines, portability with preexisting conditions, etc. While I agree with those things too, it sickened me that here was a guy saying what he would and could support, but was unable to do when Republicans had the majority.
