OBAMACARE: A PROFILE IN COWARDICE BY CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS - we scooped Instapundit and Mcardle by a month on this

GLENN AND MEG:
MEGAN MCARDLE: Why I Still Think Health Care Won’t Pass. “As I read it, majorities of both houses do not want to pass this bill–otherwise, they wouldn’t have run for the exits so quick.

They were looking for an excuse that they could deploy without risking retaliation from the leadership...

... They don't want to say they want to kill it, of course.

So instead, they're doing pretty much what I expected: putting it on the back burner. We want to pass health care, but we just have a few things to do first . . .

Once it goes on the back burner, it's over.
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS DESCRIBED THIS PROFILE IN COWARDICE A MONTH AGO:

QUESTION: CAN PASSING A HUGE AND HUGELY UNPOPULAR BILL HELP OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS IN 2010?

NOPE.

SO... WHY ARE THEY GONNA DO IT?

MY GUESS:
  • THEY'RE COWARDS.
  • YUP: THEY LACK THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND TAKE THE BLAME FOR KILLING OBAMACARE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND THEIR BASE AND THE MSM.
  • AND THEY FEEL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEM, THUS ALLOWING THEM TO VOTE YES ON A BILL THAT WILL FAIL.
  • AND - IF IT GETS SIGNED INTO LAW - THEY'RE COUNTING ON THE FACT THAT MAJORS CHANGES WON'T BE FELT UNTIL AFTER 2010.
  • IOW: THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO:
  • THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO TELL VOTERS THEY TRIED TO HELP - BY VOTING YES ON A FLAWED BILL, AND THEN BLAME THE FACT THAT IT FAILED TO BECOME LAW ON THE OTHER GUYS, BUSH, THE GOP, AND SO ON.
  • THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS DOMINATED BY COLLECTIVISTS, RELATIVISTS AND COWARDS.
THE ELECTORATE WILL SEE THROUGH THIS CHARADE THIS TIME AND VOTE THEM OUT IN HUGE NUMBERS COME 2010.
WE BEAT THE BIGGIES WITH LINKS, SHARP ANALYSIS AND BLUNT COMMENTS THIS ALL THE TIME.

SPREAD THE WORD.
