"So even as Democrats themselves acknowledge that one reason the public hates ObamaCare so much is the corrupt tactics they have used to advance it through Congress, they still plan to try to land this Pelosian triple-handspring-quadruple pole vault to passage."
Isn’t there some way of getting one more vote to break ranks?
The political winds are blowing against prostigressive politicians right now. Seeing that the positions of their past will catch up with them in the near term, they need to get hell-th care through before they are dumped, to earn their post-political slots on corporate boards or as 'consultants'.
Since they are already going down, might as well burn the barn on the way out and dance in the light of the fire.
Bring it...
The Congress may or may not at this point be afraid of the people, but the Whitehouse sure as hell isn’t. Zero would rather crash and burn taking us all with him rather than lose! And with so many in the House and Senate retiring if Zero can offer them a more lucrative ‘retirement’ package or arrange for a new and better paying job is waiting for them most of these thieves will be more than happy to feather their nest at our expense. Anyone who thinks that they are hearing the wailing and nashing of teeth coming from this Whitehouse needs to listen again, because its not the sound of lamenting their are hearing its the sounds of El Degüello.

Tin foil hat alert! (I’m warning ahead of time, LOL)
The Dems are so gosh darned determined to push things through, things that they know will lose them seats in 2010.
Could it be (this is the tin foil part) that going into 2012 Obama does not want to have a majority in the Senate, or possibly the House?
Reason: As it stands now, the Democrats are taking all the heat of the American electorate w/their unpopular decisions as witnessed through the elections in MA, NJ, and VA, and polls hinting to their problems in 2010. If the GOP were to regain one of the chambers of Congress, attention would/could be focused on them as the reason for unpopular decisions, averting some of the electorate’s rage from Obama and giving him a better chance of being re-elected.
Of course, a “thinking” voter would be wise to the trick, but many voters don’t “think” and blame can be placed through the MSM with people believing it. (example...the Dems took the majority in 2006, but according to the MSM, all the problems from 2006-2008 were Bush’s...the media can paint it anyway they want.)
Okay, taking off the tin foil hat and backing away from the keyboard for another cup of coffee.
They know they are going to be gone. I hope we do something to prevent them from getting their pensions and bar them from government participation for life.
Rats keep this up and we might end up with Republican super majorities.
