DES MOINES, Iowa -- As Congress begins voting on health care reform, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty urged Republican activists on Saturday to use public anger over the issue as the linchpin of their battle to return to power.
Pawlenty singled out President Barack Obama at a big Republican fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, his first visit to the state since the 2008 elections.
"On the night that he won the Iowa caucuses, he promised to bring Republicans and Democrats together to pass a health care bill, and now he's decided to ram it down our throats," Pawlenty said in remarks given to The Associated Press shortly before his speech to more than 700 activists at the Republican Party of Iowa fundraiser.
