The Daily Quote
“Republican lawmakers reaffirmed their embrace of a controversial Medicare overhaul despite an electoral setback, ensuring the federal health program will remain a divisive issue through the 2012 election. Republicans responded to Democrat Kathy Hochul's Tuesday victory in a traditionally Republican New York Congressional district by saying they needed to attack the Democrats' Medicare position more forcefully, rather than back off their own plan. ‘We need to make it a choice between a do-nothing approach that will ultimately destroy Medicare, and life-saving reforms,’ said Rep. Tom Cole (R., Okla.). Added Rep. Cliff Stearns (R., Fla.): ‘It's a wake-up call on how you frame it. It obviously wasn't framed right.’"

- The Wall Street Journal (5/26/11)
