Everyone is so focused on fighting the little battle arguments (cost of plan provisions, Barney Frank is a ***got, Obama is a N----r, Nazi's takig over, Constitutionality), we didn't notice the Dems using a bigger strategy to push this through and completely undermine the Republicans chances in November. People will see the main points, not the cost. People will see no cancelation, insurance pools, no pre-existing conditions.
On the campaign trail, you really think Republicans can fight to put the donut hole back in medicare prescriptions costs, drop coverage for people in their 20s on their parent's plan, reinstall pre-existing conditions, reinstall insurance companiies ability to drop you when you get sick. Let's be realistic. We may not like what the bill has or costs, but it's a political masterpiece for Democratic political longevity. It encopasses alot of Reagan's and Newt's ideas.
If David Frum (he was W.'s economic speech writer) still have any credibility in this crowd, everyone should be much more worried about the future and stop thinking the country will vote R's back into majority power in both the House and Senate.
