Daschle's Demise

I now have an article up on the main site about what Tom Daschle's withdrawal means for the prospects of health-care reform. It's important to keep in mind that Daschle was a central part of the Obama administration's strategy for passing reform, and at the very minimum, his withdrawal will mean a potentially costly delay.

Looks like Obama's hopes of forcing health care deform on America have been Daschled.

Just a reminder. The Soviet method of eliminating a "problem" ala Lenin's methods are just a tad bit less extreme than the method used so far by our current Soviet Admin.
Don't liquidate, rather, entice, don't vet, don't seek background checks, OOPS, then, sorry ralph out you go. A humilating experience, a trust that is thrown under the bus, a typical, repeatable set of events. Our OBNA admin has had this happen dozens of times, during and now within the campaign for our hearts and minds.
Folks, we voted for this BS and now we are living the nightmare. Good on us.
