12-Hour Town Hall Held By House GOP Thursday

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele and House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are holding a joint health care town hall at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday to air their objections of reform.

The event, called "Pelosi Plan Exposed," will run for 12 hours and will "expose the 12 truths of Nancy Pelosi's health care bill."

Topics include Health Care & Small Business, Health Care & Taxes, Health Care & Seniors, Health Care & The Economy, and Health Care & The Culture Of Life.

"We're planning a twelve second town hall to explain every last detail of the GOP health care plan," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan in response.

Pence's invitation:

On ABC News' Top Line Thursday, Steele also delivered a warning to Republicans who support Obama: "We'll come after you."

Asked if he'd be comfortable with Republican candidates in 2010 who supported President Obama's stimulus package or health care reform, Steele said: "Well I'm gonna tell you honestly, that's where the line gets a little bit tricky. And you saw in the House and in the Senate that there are ramifications, because that goes against a core principle ... "[C]andidates who live in moderate to slightly liberal districts have got to walk a little bit carefully here, because you do not want to put yourself in a position where you're crossing that line on conservative principles, fiscal principles, because we'll come after you."

Pubs: Don't worry about Steele. The Health Care Lobbyists will always pay you.

We all know conservati­ves have no qualms about resorting to domestic terrorism, so Steele isn't exactly making idle threats up there.

Conservati­ves will murder anyone they are told to, just like when O'Reilly ordered the hit on Dr. Tiller.

Republican­s should be more concerned with their constituen­ts, Mr. Steele. You know, those citizens that put them there in the first place! Or are we to believe that ALL Republican voters HAVE health coverage, and it's just the REST of us who suffer? That should be the next grass roots movement..­. Republican­s without healthcare­... now there's a rally for the Capitol steps I would like to see! Of course, it won't be on Faux News!

What are you going to do Mike?
Tie them down, sew open their eyelids and make 'em watch Gilligan Island 24/ 7 for the rest of their lives?

Lol. Michael assumes he will be in a position to go after anyone in 2010? I don't thinks so.

But keep on making all these beautiful comments for then Democrats just need to collect the material for their anti-GnoP ads in 10.

Don't know about you, but Steele isn't exactly the kind of guy I'm afraid of.

So the GOOP'ers, who voted FOR every single SPENDING BILL from 2000 to 2006 are NOW telling us that they are fiscal conservati­ves?

It's like a serial ra.pist that promises do never EVER do it again, as long as we let elect him President of The Girls Club.

Republican­s always, ALWAYS, put party over country.

There is no Republican Party. It's a bunch of fragmented groups all having different agendas calling themselves Repubbies.

Steele should have realized the party was over when they chose him a chairman.

Steele better wake up and smell the coffee. He keeps supporting these teabaggers yet he fails to see any Afro Americans amongst that group.

I'll be interested to see the outcome when there are just two Republican­s left, which seemingly won't be very long from now.
