my life to help improve those who survive cancer, to help fund a cure and see an end to cancer in our lifetime. as we started going into the 2008 race, i was really optimistic about the dialogue that was takinging place and after the president was elected the spirit of bipartisanship quickly faded away and everyone retreated to their corners. >> okay. what do you think when you watch this many years on when you watch republicans wanting to defund the law, wanting to get rid of a law that has given people coverage, that would actually take coverage away from people, would take coverage away from you? what do you think about that? >> it's gotten to the point where it's something that i cannot support and will not support anybody with that position. we're talking about something that affects my life and affects a lot of the people that i love and care about. and it's not right. it's not fair and it's pure blind partisanship that is drawing this rain of thought.
