I wonder if we took a poll and asked those same people if they approve of the creation of over a hundred new bureaucracies, boards, departments, and programs being created for the delivery of this shiny new health care surprise…..?

Oh, I think we're now seeing a group in Washington for whom the passage of "bending over" legislation is becoming the norm. I mean, they don't call it that because doing so would be too honest and we can't have that.

I'm reminded of this little story…

"Come the revolution", said the reformers, "we will all eat strawberries."

"But", said the dissident, "I don't like strawberries".

"Come the revolution, we will all like strawberries."

You can substitute the word "change" for "revolution", if you like.

60-70% of Americans support the public option.

BTW, Kathy: My taxes, in all likelihood will be increased significantly more than yours.

I apologize to syphilis everywhere for associating it with Peggy Noonan.

I should clarify: Name some unpopular legislation that wasn't necessary to fix Bush's botched economy, and prevent the recession from extending into depression.

Most Americans support closing GITMO, by the way.

"bending over for UAW" isn't legislation.

67% of Americans support Obama's handling of the stim. package.

And, please don't come back at me with some blather about being selfish and greedy and not wanting to share. We have really fallen down the rabbit hole when wanting to work hard and provide for one's own self and family is to be denigrated and wanting everyone else to pay for your needs is the noble stance.

I tend to find that it's the people who really aren't very generous who assume no one else is, either. They are the ones who figure that since none of us give to charitable causes based on their own stinginess, then we have to MAKE people share by letting the government into their wallets so it can "fairly" re-distribute to everyone. I think we call them liberals.

Actually, I come here for the same reason President Obama should have the backbone to appear on…oh, let's say…some Fox conservative pundit's show… and defend his point of view to all those other people in the country whose President he also "promised to be". After all, nearly half of the voters didn't vote for him.

And I do keep waiting for YOU to give ME some facts that justify the necessity of 1,900 pages of incomprehensible drivel passed off as quality health care for all. I'm pretty sure you'll find you didn't exactly get what you hoped for.

Bailing out the auto companies and bending over for the UAW. There, I named one.
Closing Guantanamo. Of course, that was only a pandering phony
photo op but there's two.
The pork-laden stimulus bill that had to be passed "right now". Not such a favorite.
This President is doing serious damage to the country. People are noticing. They don't like or support his programs. Oh, except, of course for folks who think that it's perfectly alright to pass legislation that allows them to steal wealth from their neighbors because they've absorbed the left's entitlement mentality.

Oh, and lojasmo…that name-calling thing…the go-to position for the intellectually bankrupt.
