“Obama’s ratings seem likely to rise again if he wins passage of healthcare legislation this fall.”
I’m glad you picked up on this. I saw Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday with Newt and Howard Dean. Dean said that his party lost in 1994 because they DIDN’T pass health care and the only way from them to win 2010 is to go ahead and do it now.
He used the Bush tax cuts as an example of Republicans using their majority to pass controversial legislation and still came out on top.
I was thinking to myself when I saw that, You lost in 1994 because you TRIED to take over health care and handed us what was then the largest tax increase in history. When people come out protesting in droves against a piece of crap like socialzed medicine, and have to show them who is boss they get rather perterbed.
We like benign government. We don’t want to have to worry about what the heck it is doing while we carry on with our busy lives. When it threatens to turn things upside down by taking such personal choices out of our hands for some ideological self-gratification, it is just too much.
It just goes to show how out of touch with mainstream America these people really are.
Just enough batter to hold the fruitcake together. :)

Your tone in describing the discomfort caused by commie bruts is the very form and function of benignity, I must say.
Touch my doctor and I’ll carve out your liver with my thumb and index finger, you Bolshevik a-holes!
That’s more my style, actually.
But, yes, I too prefer a benign government.

Americans wanted Left of Center Adminstration. Instead we got a Socialist one that’s bordering on Marxism.
