Those libs are more concerned to seeing to it that there are no EEEEEEVIL PROFITS connected to our healthcare than with the actual quality of that care.

You don’t get single payer without a Dem House and a Dem supermajority in the Senate. If Obamacare collapses, I don’t see the voting public running back into the arms of the Dems to provide an even bigger Gvt solution.

I will believe that when Reid brings repeal to a vote on the Senate floor. The House has already repealed it something like 37 times.

RE: What’s a “conservative democrat?”

Someone like Ronald Reagan, who LEFT the party.

A “Moderate Democrat” is one who doesn’t understand that the result of their policy prescriptions is necessarily slavery.

With all the ammunition the republicans have, they should sweep both houses. But I’ve thought that before.

Even if the Republicrats were to sweep both houses of Congress, they'd keep voting for every hare-brained big government scheme that showed up.

Pubbies almost always vote for these expanded CHiP programs and expanded Medicaid. What makes you think they’re not gonna vote for a Public Option in the middle of a panic crisis?

Alaska is a big one for GOP to win the senate seat. They need to spend time and money there.

A weak kneeded pseudo conservative that believes all the lies about Republicans the MSM spews out and thus they call themselves democraps, but in reality they are more aligned with conservative values, but they just won’t admit it because they buy the whole MSM lie that conservatives and Republicans are evil...

I think your description is pretty accurate! I would add delusional in there somewhere.

We still have a number of "yellow dog" democrats in this area. These are good church-going people and they generally are more conservative than a lot of northeast republicans. They vote democrat because that is what their family has done for generations. I say they are delusional because even when confronted with all that the modern democrat party supports today, they refuse to believe the democrat party is pure evil!

“WTH is a “moderate democrat”?”

Same thing as a moderate republican. In other words, a liberal.
