Government healthcare takeover plan is doing so good that..

The democrats are now threatening to ignore the rules.

BOSTON (AP) - A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action. The likeliest scenario would require persuading House Democrats to accept a bill the Senate passed last month, despite their objections to several parts. Aides consulted Sunday amid fears that Republican Scott Brown will defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in the special election to fill the late Edward M. Kennedy’s seat. A Brown win would give the GOP 41 Senate votes, enough to filibuster and block final passage of the House-Senate compromise on health care now being crafted.

I wonder if the leftists see the irony that this story originated out of Boston Mass., where we all know the democrats, whom took the Kennedy seat for granted, seem poised to lose that Senate seat in the special election to Scott Brown. Obama’s visit Sunday was a bust - AP reports mixed results because they are MSM shills, but barely 2000 - 2500 people showed up for that freakshow - while the Scott Brown meeting was a big win. And while democrats have plans for the 2010 elections and likely are counting on more of the same in MA., with some union thuggery thrown in for good measure. After all, the Obama Admin is likely to turn a blind eye to any kind of voter intimidation or fraud that helps them as the dismissed cases of blatant criminal activity in the 2008 election proves.

But, let us get back to the government healthcare takeover attempt by the collectivists. It looks like the troops are reading the writing on the wall, and many are not liking it much. Maybe they figure no amount of cheating or cover from the MSM will spare them a defeat in 2010. Lucky for us most of these hyenas will not simply go along with something that spells suicide for their personal political careers even if it helps their party cement a permanent hold on the American political landscape (when people need you for their benefits, they must keep you in power). Their problem is that the writing is on the wall. The democrats managed in but a single year to remind America why they should never be trusted with power. I hope that idiotic meme that democrats are better for the economy dies a painful and quick death. I never understood how anyone could take the collectivist’s view of the economy as anything good for anyone but the politicians. To quote Clinton: “It’s the economy stupid”. And the current approach of wrecking it permanently, isn’t doing well.

UPDATE: And if you doubt that the left thinks cheating is a fine thing as long as they are doing it, here is MSNBC’s Ed Schultz making a startling remark on his radio show yesterday about supporting voter fraud in Massachusetts. You got that right. The advice from the MSM cronies is to cheat. Not like they would ever report it if it hurt “the cause”.
