    Just the type of “blue” meat that will shore up the base for tonight’s SOTU.
    And just the type of arrogant obliviousness to the other 80% of the country that will lead to record-setting losses in November…

    that will lead to record-setting losses in November
    Can I hold you to that? I think we will lose seats, but not 2006 or 1994 level.

    Disaster poll: (CNN)

    Nearly 70 percent say dump Dems’ health care bill

    Just when it appeared that the numbers for the Democratic health care proposals passed by the House and Senate couldn’t get any worse — they have. A new poll by CNN and Opinion Research, taken from January 22 to January 24, shows that 69 percent of respondents say Congress should dump the current Democratic health care proposals and either write an entirely new health bill or stop working on the subject altogether……

    There’s more.

    Good Lord, surely Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Dims aren’t that tone deaf, are they?

    Pretty thin gruel, especially when almost half of opposition to these bills has been from the left, saying that they don’t go far enough.

    They’ve completely failed to provide real reform which the majority of the country wants. They tossed aside the “public option” which a majority of the country was in favor of.

    They utterly failed to lead when the country voted them into historically high majorities in both changers of Congress.

    Of course they’re tone deaf.

    What? Only 20% of the country is blue now?

    Meanwhile, back here in reality….
