"If the Democrats don’t get health care, and the jobless rate is above 10 percent, it could be a big election for Republicans next year,” predicted consultant John Feehery, who was a top aide to then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill."
You read that right, Republicans want people to go without health insurance, to die, and to lose their jobs and stay unemployed just so that they can take back Congress next year.
Mind boggling isn't it?

nope, just politics. Dems said the same sorta thing when they were out of power. Bad news helps the out of power party.
No, it isn't just politics and calling it that does NOT make it right.
The GOP blew it when they were following Bush and Cheney like lemmings and lying our country into invading Iraq and wasting billions and billions of tax payer dollars.
But the GOP now squawks about having a public option in health care reform.
GOD forbid the Congress (especially Republicans) should do something for the American people rather than catering to the greed and interests of those damn multi-national corporations that ONLY care about their own bottom line.
Great post ... keep up the good work.
You're right of course Jim, for Qob to compare what the Republicans are doing now with what the Democrats did during the Bush/Cheney years is like comparing apples to oranges. People are dying needlessly and are being kept down needlessly in order for the Republicans to placate their base. It's sick and twisted.
"The needs of the many are the sins of the few. A day is forthcoming when accounting is due."
But certainly par for the Rethuglican course.
That's why the birthers and all the rest of the Beckoners & Limpboughers will not turn the volume down a notch.
It will proceed at a deafening volume until the next stolen election day (2010) and beyond.
It's the ongoing, neverending plan.

What worries me most of all is that this foul Repugnican rhetoric is taken with deadly seriousness by audiences with guns. Somewhere out there Rush Limburglar has a fan even freakier than he is, who listens to his evil crap, turns it over in his little stunted mind and thinks the logical next step is to start taking pot shots at our president- I was overjoyed when Obama was elected, and I still am, but side by side with this is a real fear of what it could cost him. I hope he has the very best security in the world.
So why don't the democrats really fight back? Show that statement in every effing advertisement during 2010. Oh, and give the FCC some real mandates. That will cure some ills.
