Comments on: The Individual Mandate: Ensign, DeMint to Force Vote on Health Care Bill Unconstitutionality http://bejohngalt.com/2009/12/the-individual-mandate-ensign-demint-to-force-vote-on-health-care-bill-unconstitutionality/ “He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.

Mitchie talked all about his eburke Tuesday, December 22nd at 4:45PM EST (link) ‘messaging strategy’ but never bothered to bring up all day, every day, the #1 message from this whole debacle - the fact that this bill will *mandate* that Americans buy something whether they want to or not. Talk about a winning message to the average American that you can fit into a 30 second soundibite. For the love of God!! Ya know Ace, there is something that truly befuddles me. I understand that, unfortunately, most of these people are nothing more than whores who will do anything to maintain power and wouldn’t know a principle if they found it in their pants. But what absolutely defies my comprehension abilities is when they leave something like this on the table. I mean, screw whether or not it’s the right position constitutionally and intellectually. For heaven’s sake, from a sheer *power* standpoint, this is the kind of stuff to ‘run on’ that you couldn’t *buy* enough ad time for. Talk about an issue to maintain your power with! And these guys, apparently, are too clueless and brain-dead to realize that even if they could give a rat’s ass about the Constitution, jumping on this issue would help them regain their coveted power. And they *still* don’t do it. They’re not only spineless, they’re as dumb as a box of rocks." From RedState:

I don't think I've ever seen it that high, if it stays that way (which I doubt) a massacre in coming... but seriously they are in serious trouble even with R+4. A good R year is D+2 - R+1 R+8 ...oh my. Still can't the senate I don't think, not even with R+8, could get real close though. Yeah I saw that RAS R+8 … jesus.h… you know.

The polling is going from 2008 in reverse, to total apocalypse for the Dems. They have 22 up, might lose half of those, but we can't get Rudy to run in NY, nor Hoeven to run in ND which would be easy pickups. Hopefully, some decent Rs can run instead and the polls will be so bad, they win anyway. It won’t work. The polling is going from 2008 in reverse, to total apocalypse for the Dems.
