It seems the American people are the young child, because we can not stop the damage that is being done, and we can not stand up to the rats who are stealing our food.

Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, and instead stressing a promise to "improve it."
The messaging shift was circulated this afternoon on a conference call and PowerPoint presentation organized by FamiliesUSA — one of the central groups in the push for the initial legislation. The call was led by a staffer for the Herndon Alliance, which includes leading labor groups and other health care allies. It was based on polling from three top Democratic pollsters, John Anzalone, Celinda Lake, and Stan Greenberg
The confidential presentation, available in full here and provided to POLITICO by a source on the call, suggests that Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. Instead, the presentation is designed to win over a skeptical public, and to defend the legislation — and in particular the individual mandate — from a push for repeal.
The presentation concedes that groups typically supportive of Democratic causes — people under 40, non-college educated women, and Hispanic voters — have not been won over by the plan. Indeed, it stresses repeatedly, many are unaware that the legislation has passed, an astonishing shortcoming in the White House's all-out communications effort.

“I hope Boehner knocks her in the head with that gavel in Jan.”
Boehner has had weak knees in the past. I would not rely on him to be a conservative.
Good analysis.
sorry Demmies, it’s too late to change things
no “takesee-backsees” allowed :)
“Every word is a lie from these democrat party monsters”
That depends on the meaning of “every” in the mind of the Clintons and every other dem.

Thanks for posting. Last I tried, you could post the whole article from Politico. The printer friendly version will give a single page if the original article has multiple webpages.
It did not take long. This will be the rallying cry to vote Dem for ever. Once the .gov controls health care the masses will vote and be controlled by those who control their life. Saw this a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. Every election will be now determined by those who say they will improve health care.
thanks maggief.
