And now that the reality is blowing up in their faces, half of them are clinging to the fantasy "my Obama will come save me once he defeats those evil Republicans" and the rest are acting shocked that they've been betrayed by Obama -- when the real problem was their own refusal to take off the rose colored classes before choosing Obama.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-22266731472313854202010-06-14T10:49:49.861-04:002010-06-14T10:49:49.861-04:00folks signed up for hope and change barry and beli...folks signed up for hope and change barry and believed that he just needed time to show the rest of us naysayers that he was the real deal to turn this country around. some of those folks are the ones still turning a blind eye to his failings.

They want to believe that people in authority will always tell the truth or will always act in their best interests, no matter how much evidence history presents to the contrary. There's just nothing you can do about those people. Until they find a new authority figure to latch onto, they will accept any amount of abuse because they don't know where else to turn. That's sad, but there are many people like that.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-74265822270138209942010-06-14T00:07:55.636-04:002010-06-14T00:07:55.636-04:00I too am amazed that anyone bought Obama's cla...I too am amazed that anyone bought Obama's claim that their work plan wouldn't disappear once Obamacare got put in place.

BUT, if that 51% in three years number is correct, then people are going to be getting really upset right around November 2012 and November 2014. So maybe ObamaCare will end up being the gift that keeps on giving?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-33527394146082107152010-06-13T22:45:32.781-04:002010-06-13T22:45:32.781-04:00Well duuuh! …right.

Too me it’s interesting that the 63% who want to repeal this monstrosity, coincides nicely with the breakdown of this country that considers itself conservative. It would really be something if we can repeal and replace this turkey. <br />Right on America, there is hope!StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-43611985431923827592010-06-13T20:49:11.600-04:002010-06-13T20:49:11.600-04:00Ed, I think that's a really good sign.

They did. And now they're upset that he's treating them with contempt. Oh well.<br /><br />It was interesting though that she admits that most Democrats act like they think the press is supposed to be on their side. I guess the Democrats are more perceptive than I gave them credit for?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-41285692931130495702010-06-13T20:13:02.316-04:002010-06-13T20:13:02.316-04:00Oh my.

They will ...Bev, I'm sure that's the plan. They will try to blame everything that goes wrong on having to compromise with the Republicans. In fact, we've already seen them doing that at CommieCon. Barney Frank even had the nerve to ask the left "send us more authority (Democrats) so that we can finally do the things we need." Because having a filibuster proof majority in both Houses and the Presidency apparently isn't enough?!<br /><br />Pelosi's "that's why we need to pass it" quote is the one she should ultimately be remembered for. It's one of those moments that truly highlights the insane mindset that has beset the Democrats.<br /><br />But as to whether she did or didn't know this, I think they knew this all along -- I think this was part of the plan. Get people tossed off their employer plans and ushered into state run plans. Then reform it as a single payer plan.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-78605047504831564372010-06-13T18:24:53.947-04:002010-06-13T18:24:53.947-04:00Is this what Nancy meant when she said we would ha...Is this what Nancy meant when she said we would have to pass the bill to see what's in it?<br /><br />Anyway, they won't blame it on Bush, but they will blame it on all of those recalcitrant Republicans who refused to come to the table and pass a bipartisan single payer bill. So the Democrats had to water the bill down soooo much and still no Republicans would vote for it.
