Via Glenn Thrush over at Politico, it appears that Mike Pence really, really wants to complain about the passage of a health care reform bill in the House. So much so that he went ahead and kicked things off hours before voting started:
Apparently Mike Pence (R-Ind.) jumped the gun on today's health reform vote -- and shot himself in the foot.
While Democrats are professing optimism -- but not certainty about the passage of today's bill, the third-ranking man in the House GOP seems to be conceding defeat, seven hours before voting is expected to start.
This, just now, from Pence's website:
PENCE DENOUNCES HOUSE PASSAGE OF PELOSI HEALTH CARE BILL
"This 1,990 page government takeover of health care holds devastating consequences for every family and small business that wants to lower health care costs."
The release has been taken down, but it's worth noting that Pence has already thanked the entire GOP caucus for voting against the bill. So much for debate and deliberation, eh?
