WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /Standard Newswire/ -- U.S. Congressman Mike Pence discussed last night's election results and repealing ObamaCare this morning on CNN's American Morning.
Excerpts:
On Last Night's Election Results:
Pence: Well, look, Candy, there's a party that has a problem out there today, and frankly, it's the Democratic party on Capitol Hill and it's this administration. The American people are tired of the borrowing and the spending and the bailouts and the takeovers, and they are looking for men and women all over the country that are willing to come to Washington, DC, and reign in this federal government. Christine O'Donnell ran a competitive primary, won yesterday and I have every confidence that the upbeat, positive, mainstream conservative message you saw her delivering this morning here on CNN and that she delivered all over Delaware is going to continue to resonate.
For those that are willing to write off this race now, electing Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, a Republican Senator in Delaware, is about as crazy as electing a Republican Senator in Massachusetts. Who'd have thunk it? The American people want change but they don't want more of the same runaway federal spending that frankly characterized the last administration and has gone on steroids in this administration. They want people who are willing to come to Washington, DC, and bring that change about.
On Repealing ObamaCare:
Pence: Candy, I'll tell you what, come on out to Indiana real soon and walk up and down the streets of Muncie and ask people whether they agree with me that we need to repeal ObamaCare lock, stock and barrel. People don't like to be told that they have to buy health insurance, whether they want it or need it or not.
They don't want this government takeover of health care. I think there's a broad and decisive majority in this country of Republicans, Independents and many Democrats who want to scrap that bill and start over. So you bet, I think that's a mainstream position. The American people are saying enough is enough to the spending, the deficits, the debt, the takeovers, the bailouts. I think Christine O'Donnell's message was emblematic of that. Andy Harris' message is emblematic of that in Maryland. And I think it is why the American people are being drawn to these good candidates.
