The socialist media never mentions the fact many of these bills die due to incredible pressure brought to bare on Congress critters by their constituents.

Well, the pantload does say "most popular Democrat". Sure, Ubama is just another sick socialist scumbag to you and me, but among George and the rats he's beloved, I guess.

"Barely five months into the Obama administration, how could this be the case? And how could the attempt fall apart in accelerated fashion -- much faster than the much-maligned, abortive Clinton effort of 1993 and '94?"

Because it's abundantly clear (even to ardent supports and the majority of the clueless Congress) that Obama doesn't have a clue as to what he's doing. If they keep going the way they are going what we are seeing to Iran we will see on the streets of America.

What this idjit George does’nt understand....is that fooling with healthcare COST the Democrats the Congress in 1946...the first time around. The Senate went Republican that year. In 1994 it cost BOTH the House AND the Senate for the Dems.....it is FAR too big...as in is legislation that has thew potential to affect a huge number of citizens, has far too much potential for a hurricaine style blowback....and at this point is completely unaffordable..to even think about in public, much less act.

I believe that’s coming and sooner than people think and I believe it will start on the very streets of Washington DC and then spread out from there.

Let’s discount it by 10% because it’s CBS/NYT...we’re still surrounded by blindmen.

You are being played, Americans.

Again, the communists in charge are just warming up.

Trust me.

Mark Levin had a great first hour on his radio program yesterday.

Take a listen, Mark doesn’t charge for these MP3’s. Thank you, Mark.

Can it truly be possible that despite the most popular Democrat in the White House in 45 years and commanding Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate (the latter nearly filibuster-proof), ...

'cept Jimmah Cahtah had a larger majority in the house & senate, what'd that buy him ? course some congresscritters had ba$$s back then, and wouldn't let the POTUS have free reign.

They're pretty good at warfare. Welfare - a total failure.

Just show one single Democrat success. Show one single Obama triumph. Show one single instance where all these BS words overcame reality and made things better, instead of just causing billions in taxpayer debt, and leaving the problem worse than when it was identified.

Show me one instance where the condition wasn't made worse tenfold, and wasn't swept under the rug by the statists and their tools in the media, and the same issue wasn't trotted out again to be supported by the double digit IQ voters as a cause de jour as a lever to eliminate another inconvenient fragment of the Constitution.

Just one.

When health care goes down, is it the beginning of the end of the Obama Presidency?

Didn’t we hear that Bill Clinton was the most popular President of all time. What baloney.

the quest for the Holy Grail of politics -- a national health-care insurance program

Holy Grail of politics = more power and control. Health-care will give politicians (Dems and RINOs) more power and control over the populous. That's why RINO congressmen introduce "alternative government health plans" instead of suggesting the government stay the hell out. They (RINOs) want control of centralized power as much as the dems.

"so by January, when Obama was inaugurated, the total cost of those bailouts had risen to $8 trillion."

I am not sure, but I do believe that the figures the writer used is quite incorrect.

If I am correct( and I believe I am), when Obama took office, there had only been about 800 Billion approved by the Bush administration. The Trillions have been spent exclusively by BHO and company.

But lets not let the facts get in the way of good propaganda, because if the truth got out, it could cause his approval numbers to fall, and the MSM has too much invested in this Manchurian candidate to allow that to happen.
