The leftist attack on the healthcare bill leaves me cynical.
I think it is an attempt to distance President Obama from the left wing because the President is being hammered in the polls, and the populace thinks he is too liberal. The Democratic Party probably offered Howard Dean something in the future if he would make the President look more centrist by disassociating the President from the uber-leftist, ultra-kook wing of his party.
There was nothing to lose…the public option was toast, but the administration wants the redistributionist parts to remain (taxing the “rich” to pay for the slackers medical care) whether there is any medical reason for the bill or not.
The President wants SOMETHING, really anything to be able to declare a “victory” – but the more redistributionist the better.
Leftists are like rust — they never rest
