While I'm not going to say that the Democrats have handled everything great leading up to the passing of the so called health care reform, the Republican's behavior has been horrible, and is getting worse. Besides becoming obviously totally anti-Obama, regardless of what kind of concessions he makes, they are now degenerating into extreme "sour grape-ism."

They thought that perhaps the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts had given them the break to block the health care bill, but that didn't stop them. The Republicans are making all this noise about process, but that's mostly hot air that has no substance.

The fact that the House passed the Senate bill is totally legit, and did nothing to change the rules at all. The Republicans have no beef about that. Now this so called reconciliation bill is a little different. They probably have a beef over that, but this is hard ball politics, and they've played the same game a number of times in the past. If the Dems can ram it through, then so be it, that's how it is.

I think the Republicans are acting like children who have been told that they can't stay up late and watch some late night TV show. They are stomping around and throwing what country folks might call a "hill spell." It's very unbecoming.

And this notion that they are going to make political hay by repealing this bill is most absurd. And they know it. And if I hear one more time Boehner or some other republican say "the American people" want this and don't want that, I'm going to hurl. They are the minority party, and I believe will stay that way, especially with the way they are behaving. It's a long time until November.
