Democrat Mike Ross: I refuse to kill old people

As the democrat worm turns. Obama is falling apart, but not as quickly as ObamaCARE. After Sarah Palin’s death panels remarked got all the democrats flabergasted and it forced them to remove the “End of life counseling” from the ObamaCARE bill, and the rumblings today from Kent Conrad and Kathleen Sebelius about the possiblity of removing  the public option from the ObamaCARE bill, democrats like “Blue Dog” Mike Ross continue to implode. As The Hill reports, when a conservative Democrat takes the time to promise that he will not “kill old people,” you really know they are struggling to maintain their footing on healthcare reform. Ross was on CNN today and said this:


I read the newspaper this morning. $57 million has been spent in the last six months, most of it in the last 45 days, trying to scare folks. I saw an ad the other night on TV. It scared the living daylights out of me. But I went back and watched it again. It used the word “could” six times in 60 seconds.

[...]

I can tell you, I’ve laid down my set of principles, so I will not force government-run health care on anyone. If there ever is government-run health care, the first ones to sign up should be the president and every member of Congress, including myself. You should be able to keep the insurance you’ve got today, if you like it, and always choose your own doctor. No federal funding for illegal immigrants or for abortion, and no rationing of health care. I will never vote for a bill to kill old people, period. [emphasis added]
