Delusional.

I note that the new talking point that seems to be coming out of Obama & The Dems today goes something like this: "Since republicans keep trying to give us advice and tell us that it will be bad for us in November if we pass health care, then that must mean that the opposite is true and that the American people really want this bill."

Say what? Regardless, it's not just those vile, awful republicans who are warning how bad it will be for the dems in November if they ram this legislation through against the will of the American people. I note a piece today by two democrat pollsters, Doug Schoen and Patrick Caddell (link below), sounding the very same warning. Here's an excerpt:

"Their blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November. In the wake of the stinging loss in Massachusetts, there was a moment when the president and the Democratic leadership seemed to realize the reality of the health-care situation. Yet like some seductive siren of Greek mythology, the lure of health-care reform has arisen again. As pollsters to the past two Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, respectively, we feel compelled to challenge the myths that seem to be prevailing in the political discourse and to once again urge a change in course before it is too late. At stake is the kind of mainstream, common-sense Democratic Party that we believe is crucial to the success of the American enterprise."

So will Obama & The Dems listen to a couple of their own? Yeah right.
