[QUOTE="brett636, post: 839176, member: 249"] That makes no logical sense whatsoever. If that were the case then the republicans could have enacted such legislation back when they had control of all three branches of government. Not to mention the healthcare law in question received zero republican votes and required buying off some democrats to get it passed. If the republicans, as you allege, were ideologically in agreement with the law and the mandate it would have seen some republican support by those republicans who tend to waiver one way or the other. Finally, why would current sitting senators "break bread" as you state with someone who has no real power in the legislature? Newt had been out of office for sometime by 2005 and would be of no help to enact any kind of legislation on any matter. [/QUOTE]
