Then Obama is Nurse Ratched.
“Upon arrival at a mental institution, a brash rebel rallies the patients together to take on the oppressive Nurse Ratched, a woman more a dictator than a nurse.”

I have been and always will be among those who believe that the Dems cannot pass comprehensive health reform because they always over reach.

The Waxman-Pelosi-Obama axis are too liberal for America, and they really do not understand that their holy grail of health care reform is anti-American.

The politics bear this out, but the discipline that Obama and Pelosi have been able to enforce has only increased the political damage to the Democrats because they have not let nature take its course and let it die by stopping their crusade.

It is a highly unnatural political event we are witnessing. The normal checks and balances have not worked because the Dems really believed that heatlh care reform was politically a plus — it has taken them a long time to realize they are teeing up 1994 all over again.

The fact that they will not listen to Charlie Cook is amazing and Rothenberg is clearly frustrated with his own team that they are not listening. They are truely delusional. Completely lost their minds politically — lets cut Medicare, tax Americans, take over health care, not work on the economy, cram it down everyone’s throat.

Sen. Nelson and Sen. Lieberman are feeling the results of their voting Yes.

This is not a situation where Congressmen can vote yes and explain it. They can’t cut some deal and expect their voters to say — oh, that was worth it. The voters want it dead.

Every time the bill takes another step forward the politics get much worse for the Dems. Really, this delusion is in the White House with the President and with Pelosi.

And the overwhelming negative political nature of the bill will find expression in some thing in the bill — but more likely in many things.

The competing issues and interests will take the bill down, because of the negative political effects that the bill is creating for the Dems.

They think that by passing health care they will exercise the demons of 1994. What has been proven, beyond a doubt, is that if you do not listen to the voters and keep doing what they hate they will become equally determined to make the Dems pay.

I can cite the various issues that are vexing the majority — from abortion, to immigration, to the lack of a public option or Medicare buy-in, to raising taxes, to cutting Medicare Advantage, to the $2.5 trillion they will spend, to the government control of all health plans and their design, to the individual mandate to the shifting of employer plans to the government run system of insurance, to the shredding of the promise that if you like your plan you can keep it.

These issues will motivate and have motivated the public to be at NO.

These issues have motivated and will motivate various interest groups to be at no.

The payments to the states and the Phrma deal, and the buying off of Landrieu and Nelson are all symptoms of Pelosi, Reid and Obama cramming it down Congress’ throats and the public’s.

All the public wants is a hero to kill this and someone will step forward. Ironically, Barney Frank has done the most to kill health care recently, with his elect-Brown-and-health-care-dies statement.

The fact is that the Dems in Congress were backing away from health care even before he said this and many are praying Scott wins to give them a reason to be the bill killers. But ultimately, the Dems are doing too much at once and are perpetually giving the public the finger — we are doing it anyway.

I think that if health care dies their losses will be far less — but they are so delusional there leadership refuses to see it, and therefore, they have increased the political damage to themselves by magnitudes.

Harry Reid is a walking dead man. Even Chuck Todd of NBC thinks so. And Pelosi will lose the House, just like 1994. They are feasting on killing off their own while saying they are not. Everyone is slowly waking up to the fact they are.

into thinking that if they elect Scott it won’t matter any way, because health care will pass by using reconciliation

Van Hollen’s statement was the anti-Barney-Frank statement, it was designed for Massachusetts — specifically to demoralize the GOP and Independent voters (an attempt to deflate the enthusiasm and excitement of the MA voter for Frank –and counter the perception that by electing Scott, health care dies.

Van Hollen was saying to Frank and everyone else — elect Scott and health care passes anyway — with a rationale that is not politically viable.

The Barney Frank statement telegraphed to the Massachusetts voters, if you are going to elect Scott do it by a wide margin so there is not a recount or challenge, and if you do, it will kill this toxic health care bill that is killing so many Democrats.

and the Dem rank and file are seeing what listen to Washington, versus the voters gets you — NO PIZZA for you!
