It’s fun to hear the Democrats do just that as they watch health care reform unravel:

So now we have another Democrat in the White House trying to push reform. Tom Daschle – who was elected Democratic Senate Majority Leader in 1994 and had to deal with Dole in the last effort to get this done – is now working hand in glove with the guy who blocked efforts 15 years ago.

Yes, Daschle is a turncoat conservative mole! Or something. Or it could just be that the public is rightly suspicious of a plan set to cost at least $1.6 trillion, and that even Daschle knows there’s no way to get something like that big passed through Congress.

    I’m less optimistic. I think it’s all just theatrical opposition.

    It would take a major shift in many Democrat’s thinking to stop this ball from rolling.

    And there’s nothing Republicans can do.

    Let’s hope for a change in 2010.

    I think it’s dead. The One killed it by letting Pelosi and Obey spend on everything they could think of, plus a few extras, in the initial “stimulus” and 2009-10 budgets. People’s antennae are up for more big spending, and another big boondoggle simply won’t have the support to pass.

    I agree that Obamacare will never get off the ground. For openers, Obama spent the money. We have an economy that is recovering nicely on its own without benefit of the stimulus. That debt sits quietly over on the side for now. I believe we will see more and more democrats turn away. After all, they don’t want their names attached to another failed socialist program. We have enough of failed programs, medicare, welfare, veterans benefits….the list goes on.

    I’m still not sure I read that right, so astonishing is it.

    I not only think this tilt at socialized medicine is over, I suspect Obama has shot his wad for all the rest of his big programs–at least, all the ones that call for a ton of new spending. More here:
