Only if there is political will. I suspect things like HCR get passed because the opposition secretly doesnt mind. In HCR thats a huge transfer of wealth and power to the political class. If youre part of the ruling elite, whats not to like? And if you have plausible denyability when its passed, thats a double bonus!
I never forget that Republicans are politicians too.
I'm not buying that. After watching Lisa Murkowski and Mike Castle lose primary battles, I believe that a lot of Republicans are going to watch their P's and Q's. They simply aren't going to want to be targetted by a 2012 primary challenge.

The system will never be totally purged. It attracts the political class, and those people can’t be trusted.
Drop your guard at your own peril.
