Republicans took to the airwaves Sunday to lament President Obama's latest deadline on health care reform.
On ABC's "This Week," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., coined names for the deals that helped net the votes of key senators: "The Cornhusker kickback, the Louisiana purchase, the Gator-aid."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., pleaded on CBS, "Please, don't do this -- just, please!"
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, punctuated his words with a pointed index finger on NBC, saying, "You cannot ignore the fact we're talking about, the first time in history, sweeping social legislation will be passed, if they get their way, by a totally partisan vote, one-sixth of the American economy. If we do, that ... bar the door, I've got to tell you."
Prompting the GOP backlash was a new deadline: Ten days to health care reform. - ABC News Story
