The Republicans say they hate government health care. Democrats like it, so of course they're going to accept it. Why don't the Republicans decline -- why does not John Boehner who has almost 20 years now been on government health care, why doesn't he decline it? Because it's good. That's why. It's a heck of a good policy.
Begala argues that Republicans, including John Boehner, should decline government health care if they truly oppose it, highlighting the hypocrisy in their stance.

People right now, I think, are afraid of extremists and comforted by incumbents.
If they keep it up, Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan have to register as a Democratic Super PAC, because they're going to save Joe Biden's fate in here.
What if they just sat there and let the Republicans steamroll through a law that discriminates against black and brown Texans, and didn't do every single thing they could do to try to stop that?
