#1 Banking on a Myth by Andrew Bird

Zero is banking on a Myth, that this country wants socialized medicine top to bottom.

McConnell is correct in his evaluation:
Democrats to invoke rules that bar filibusters would be "met with outrage" by the public, and he said Obama was pushing a sweeping bill that voters don't want.

#2 a Myth, that this country wants socialized medicine

I am not sure it IS just a myth - a big chunk of opposition to Obamacare is coming from those who already have socialized medicine (medicare) and don't want it weakened. Add them to the poor who want better socialized medicine and the near-poor who basically have no health care now, and a big chunk of the lazy who are too stupid to realized it is THEY who will be paying for their 'free' health care and I suspect you have a majority of Americans in favor of socialized medicine.

#4 Stimulus Bill: "The time for talk is over."
Copenhagen Accord: "The time for talk is over."
Obamacare: "I Don't see how [more talk] would help."

#5 Of course he’s speaking as Obama the Master Thespian when he says “it’s time to act”.

#6 As far as I can tell they sincerely believe that once it's passes we will be so thrilled to get the benefits that we won't even notice the cost.

#7 Is this why I saw the "5 out of 6 props behind me wear lab coats" talkup on the morning news, then lost his place on the 'prompter and stammered through the hammer-it-home lines?

#10 --During Glenn Beck show yesterday, he had about half a dozen people standing around in lab coats while he was at the chalkboard presenting to his audience.
