Kind (er) Democrat

From the LaCrosse Tribune on Ron Kind's health care vote.
"He’s open to hearing better ideas to bring costs down and quality up, “but that’s not what they’re offering today. They’re just talking about repealing this measure without any alternative,” Kind said.

The La Crosse Democrat shared a couple of anecdotes from Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District on the House floor Wednesday, questioning any colleague who could deny a suffering mother and child health coverage."
Kind, Walz vote against repeal
So Ron Kind voted no on Obamacare repeal. What a nice guy, he's all for the people, he cares, he just wants to help you. I have a couple questions for our Wisconsin nice guy the Kind(er) Ron Kind.

Did Kind and the democrats offer the republicans before Obamacare alternatives? Hell no, Remember Nancy Pelosi, to the effect, we have to pass it and after it's passed you can read it to see what's in it! Why didn't Ron Kind do it right last year? Kind basically admits it needs to be fixed but not the way the republicans want to change it. Why did he vote for it last year? What the heck did he vote for?

Second, Kind told some anecdotes? Let's start with the definition of anecdotes.
"an·ec·dote

Say what? An amusing story of a mother and child not getting health care? You mean a child and mother would be turned away from any hospital in Wisconsin today? Ron, wake up, no one is ever turned away from health care yet! If Obamacare is implemented then will people be denied health care. Ron, will you tell seniors you can't afford to help them and they should go somewhere and die because of Obamacare?

Will a conservative run and replace Kind in 2012?
