I hate to say it but the more I watch Obama and the Democrats the more I think this is the case. They are defending themselves against Death panels, free health care for illegal immigrants, rationing etc... Single Payer was conceded without Debate.
Now progressives/liberals are reduced to defending Democrats from Right wing nutjobs trying to hijack town halls.
The media is obsessing on these spectacles. The Health care debate continues to flounder and the right becomes more emboldened.
The Democrats AND the Liberal/Progressive movement once again underestimated the opposition. We brought ideas and debate they brought fear and hate. Look back at history and see who usually wins that contest.
I hope I am wrong but as a poltical junkie who has seen this show before I do not see how this situation is salvaged
BTW Originaly this was a comment but I decided to enter it as a diary so I could do a poll
