Obamacare Think

How’s this for contradicting one’s own reasoning within the space of a single paragraph?

First Rachel Rose Hartman says two Democrats voted unsurprisingly to repeal Obamacare because they face tough reelection bids in Republican districts. Then she says the next two Democrat votes are also unsurprising because these two guys are retiring so they do not have to consider the consequences of their votes.

Huh?

Doesn’t she realize she just admitted that two guys who fear nobody went out and voted their consciences?  That is a harsh rejection of the bill.

Can’t have it both ways.  It can’t be unsurprising because they fear voter rejection and equally unsurprising when they don’t fear voter rejection.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around that logic. If she keeps this up, she'll wind up as the solicitor general for the oblammy administration.

Actually it is understandable. Those politicians who do not fear the ignorant yellow dog Democrats would vote against Obamacare. Thus as long as they realize that there are enough honest voters out there, they would vote in that manner. They would only be afraid if they think that the voters can be fooled.
