It would be interesting to ask him about his vote, because he was awfully smug about it.
IIRC, he wasn’t even one of the so-called “hold out’s”.
Bayh supported Obamacare because there is NO such thing as a “moderate” Democrat.
All of them are in favor of ever-increasing nanny state government control over the lives of the American people.
At election time, with the help of fawning media, they position themselves whereever they need to be to convey a favorable perception.
For example, we have Howard Dean posturing himself to the left of Obama, demanding we go to single-payer government control immediately.
And Bayh, posturing himself to the right of Obama, preferring to put in place a scheme that will destroy the market for private insurance and eventually force everyone into government control, except a little later.
But they ALL look down their noses at the American people and feel that the people must be “controlled” by the government in greater and greater degree.
Bayh is UNFIT for any public office.
It is mind-boggling that even here on Free Republic we have people claiming Bayh is not so bad.
It is up to the people of Indiana to take the lead in sinking any hopes of this bag of dung for any public office, whether it be president of the country or dog catcher of Terre Haute.
