“Because the dems lost 1 senate seat, public opinion is now 100% against health care reform and if the dems force it through it is against the will of the poeple, interesting argument. Suggest reviewing ‘US politics 1.01′ again to understand that 59 senotors still make a majority.”
Yes, the dems lost 1 senate seat. A senate seat in arguably the BLUEST state in the Union. No one has suggested that public opinion is 100% against (or for) anything. What IS being suggested is that other Democratic congressman may consider the fact that if a Democrat can lose in MA, Democrats can lose anywhere. ANYWHERE.
And that is making Democrats in districts where they are ALREADY FEELING the heat (which is only likely to get hotter after last night’s MA election) slightly nervous about acting as though Brown’s election is meaningless.
I suggest reviewing ‘Critical Thinking 101′ again to understand that politics is not just about which party currently seats a majority. Or perhaps critical thinking……
