U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, D-CT, is holed up somewhere in an undisclosed location waiting for Sunday’s vote on health care theft.

Now, it is reported by several national news sources that the two-term Wonder Boy of  Connecticut Left, the heir to Sen. Joe  Lieberman, is having second thoughts about the new Pelosi 2,300-page seizure of our medical rights as citizens.

His colleagues -  John Larson, Rosa DeLauro, Joe Courtney and Jim Himes are in, Collectively this bunch will be high fiving each other whether they are “deeming” or actually voting on this atrocity.

But Murphy’s previous comments  on health care, his taunting of Republicans and his shameless examples of constituents in need showed how talk is indeed – cheap – except when it’s another $1 trillion of spending and taxes.

On July 30, 2009, Murphy told the story of a Thomaston woman who lost a leg because of a claim denied.

“We have a system that doesn’t value keeping people healthy,” Murphy said in a one-minute speech on the floor of the House.

On September 7th, 2009, he told about a Waterbury woman with Type-2 diabetes who had COBRA coverage who was losing her insurance and couldn’t get new insurance coverage beccause of a pre-existing condition. Murphy claimed she would lose her home.

“Doing nothing here in the House of Representatives as our friends on the Republican side would like. says to her that her situation is unsustainable – she has no way out,” Murphy said. “We need to pass health care reform to answer her and the thousand of constituents just like her.”

This is pretty powerful stuff and it is a clever ploy by Democrats to use the suffering of others to paint Republicans as cold hearted killers. Without knowing the other details of these stories, it is a fact that Republicans have always favored the elimination of pre-existing conditions.

But Republicans don’t support this new plan because it will end up hurting the quality of care through rationing and a new government run entitlement that will be even more calculating in the disbursement of limited resources.

Murphy also appeared at a press conference with the Connecticut House leadership and Dick Blumenthal to hail the Sustinet program, the $3 billion state run health care plan that would plunge Connecticut deeper into the hole.
