Why Passing the Health Care Bill is Strictly the Republicans Fault

That's it, the Grand Old Party has lost it.

From the looks of it, they really hope that blaming this expensive healthcare fiasco is going to unseat President Obama and win back Congress.  Here's the problem, the reason this bill is going to pass, and the reason the bill is so crappy is because the Republicans refused to drop their partisan behavior, refused to stop thinking about ways to thwart the President's legislative agenda long enough to actually craft a bill that actually helped America.  That makes me mad.

First, this healthcare bill looks a lot like the bill proposed by Nixon and opposed by Ted Kennedy back in 1974!    The Democrats opposed it the bill because they thought...wait for it...that it would be too expensive and would only benefit the insurance companies.  Gah!!! it's back to the future night.  Am I the only one that sees this or am I on crazy pills.

Here's a novel idea, stop fighting the President just because he beat the crud out of your candidate in the last election and start freaking legislating for a change.  Try that as a strategy and you might actually hold on to the elusive center of the nation's political sepctrum.
