Loss in MA Makes the Democrats Rethink Health Care

On Tuesday a special election was held to fill the seat of Teddy Kennedy. A Democrat has held that seat for almost 50 years. Thanks to Obama and the Democrats in congress the seat now is red. What is the problem with Democrats who can't even hold on to the bluest of blue seats. The bluest state in the Country. Now the Dems are nervous. What will happen to NY who has two US Senators up for reelection. PA has Specter will he wish he had stayed a Republican. What about Boxer she is in big trouble. I expect Specter will keep his seat but few others will.
The Democrats are trying to save their behinds by rethinking health care something they weren't willing to do just a week ago. Why did Martha Coakley have to go down before the Democrats woke up and smelled the coffee?
The American people do not want the Congress to dictate what should go on. They are in office to represent what we want not force unpopular bills down our throats.
Will the Democrats do the right thing and perhaps save themselves are will they continue to make the wrong decision and force the American people to vote the bums out.
Frankly I want the checks and balances and I am always for having the White House in the hands of one party and the Congress in the hands of the other.
I think Obama is looking at 2012 and not liking his chances. I think he is going to save himself and veto this bill. He is actually in a damned if he does and damned if he doesn't scenero. I guess Mr. Man doesn't think being POTUS is so fun anymore. He is getting the blame for a health care plan he had nothing to do with. He is now taking more of a lead.
I am sorry Martha went down she is a loyal Clintonista and didn't deserve to become the latest victim of the Democratic party.

I love your article, HMG. My favorite part:

"The American people do not want the Congress to dictate what should go on. They are in office to represent what we want not force unpopular bills down our throats."

I think we've been hypnotized into thinking that the opposite is true. It will be people like you that will remind us, and wake us up from our state of stupor!
