they blew it, Not Senator Lieberman, who btw their party first put into office, not the Republicans, not George Bush, not anyone else but the Democratic party.
They caved to the unions and other special interests, loaded their bill with astronomical amounts of pork and patronage, and then tried unsuccessfully to hide the details long enough to sneak this abortion under the nose of the American people even though they knew that ultimately it would
not solve the health care issue and end up costing the taxpayer even more than he pays now. BTW expect another wave of pissed offedness when folks start doing their taxes this year and get to see the repeal of those Bush era tax cuts in dollars and cents.
Meanwhile the Dems tossed band aids at the real problem the people put their party into power in the first place. To paraphrase a Clinton era Democrat; "It's the economy stupid". Unemployment is running at 10% and the economy shows little sign of recovery. I have to say that if they don't expect to get "Scott Browned" on a national level come November the leadership of the Democratic party had better get on the stick and quick.
