Let them talk about all the reconciliation they want. After November they won’t be in power any more and after 2012 Obama will be out of office. Let them shove Obamacare down America’s throat and they’ll be cast into the political outer darkenss for years, if not decades afterwards. The American people have a long memory on such things.
But here’s the gist. No matter what Democrats try to shove through it’s likely to be repealed after Republicans take control. In fact the groundwork for such action is already being planned.
“ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: If Democrats manage to sign a health care reform bill into law, Republicans stand ready to immediately press to repeal the new law — and will make that push a major campaign issue in 2010, the Senate’s third-ranking Republican said today.
On ABC’s “Top Line,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., chairman of the Senate Republican Conference and a leading voice on health care reform efforts, said Republican lawmakers are candidates are likely to coalesce behind efforts to strike a new Democratic-passed law from the books.
“I certainly think so,” Alexander said. “So we’re going to jam it through in a partisan way, which will take two or three messy months here — I’m pretty sure that the rest of the year is going to be defined by a movement to repeal it. An election to repeal it — with the health care bill, which is unpopular, defining the race for every single Democratic candidate for Congress.”
It’s likely to succeed. If polls are grim for Democrats now, they’ll be in the gutter by November, especially if they force they’re will on the American people. Watch Senator Alexander.
