Politics is never logical. If this entire health care drama has taught us anything it’s that logic, facts and rational thinking are in short supply in Washington. According to Rasmussen roughly 42% of Americans support ObamaCare. I guess that’s the Senate version of the bill. 42% is a lot of Americans. Sadly, the real statistic is that at least 42% of Americans are completely clueless when It comes to the current health care debate.
Basically what’s happened is that party loyalists are rallying around the cause. The far left, who cried outrage with the public option was removed, now backs the Senate version. They’ve even come after Dennis Kucinich, who has vowed to vote against any bill that doesn’t include the public option. What is Kucinich’s crime? I guess maintaining his pledge is too much for the deranged left.
What people are endorsing now is the “idea of reform.” No one with a brain believes this bill is anything but a disaster; however, the left has decided it’s better to endorse a disaster than for the President to fail to deliver on the “idea of reform.” Bush was able to pass a prescription drug bill despite the fact that it was terrible; however, the public wasn’t as outraged as it is today. Make no mistake, the Democrats are going to get crushed in November because of this bill. It probably doesn’t even matter if it dies. If it passes, the Tea Party movement will become the Repeal Movement. What are the Democrats really trying to accomplish?
Obama could have broken the bill into five smaller bills and passed them one at a time without much resistance. Instead he let the most inept Speaker of the House in American history take over the process. This is what happens when the nation takes a chance on electing a President that’s woefully underqualified.
