Paying for ObamaCare

Michael Barone surveys the electoral landscape and concludes that, “The rule seems to be that casting a decisive vote for Obamacare tends to be a career-ender.”

Another story said that the same thing is true for each major Obama bill: the more of them a Democrat voted for, the greater his chance of losing office.

Mr. Klein,

From your key-board to God's ears.

It seems to me that Obama-care became the "Holy Moly" moment of the entire communist, (pardon the shorthand), agenda for many Americans.

What frightens me is that the revulsion is not 100% of voters.
God preserve us.

This is a completely bogus story. Just because the Dems lost the House for the first time in 40 years in 1994 because of HillaryCare, just because HillaryCare was developed in secret and the legislators would have had to pass it in order to learn what was in it, just because the Democrats used legislative sleight of hand to pass ObamaCare against overwhelming public sentiment, just because all of the claimed benefits that will arise from ObamaCare are bogus, and just because ObamaCare is much worse than HillaryCare there is no reason to think that the public doesn't love ObamaCare and doesn't regard its creators with reverence.

Voting YES for any/all of Obama's/Democrats' WEALTH REDISTRIBUTIVE legislation is hopefully the reason why the American taxpayer-voters will go to the polls 11/2/10 and begin the long process of defeating any/all [Democrats and Republicans] who voted likewise. Whatever is unfinished business after 11/2/10 should be concluded in the November 2012 election by hopefully defeating EL CHOSEN ONE but his Chicago Way lemmings as well!!!!!!!!
