I will never make the mistake of believing that even the irrational Dems will act in their own self-interest.

Their leadership of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman and Axelrod all are were hell bent on passing ObamaCare, regardless of the cost, regardless of the political cost.

And idiots like Senator Ben Nelson and Congressman Stupak made it all possible because they were cowards.

Here is what Pat Caddell said recently in an interview with NRO, and it is well said:

The polling data show how restless the country is. “A Rasmussen poll from earlier this year showed just 21 percent of voters believing that the federal government enjoys the consent of the governed — an astounding figure,” Caddell says. “Then a CNN poll showed that 56 percent of Americans worried that the federal government poses a direct threat to their freedom.”

“Democrats are aware of this,” Caddell continues. “They know that the general outcome is baked.” As the fall campaign kicks into gear, “the question now becomes whether Obama can mitigate their losses. You see them trying to localize their campaigns and pretending that they don’t know Nancy Pelosi. It’s all rather amusing.”

Unlike President Reagan at his first-term midpoint, in 1982, “Obama is not able to go out there and say, ‘Stay the course.’ That’s just not possible. The Democrats’ hope with health care was that ‘people will like it after we pass it.’ Well, they hate it, and you don’t see any effort to promote it. The Democrats had a chance to do this right — most people supported aspects of reform — but because of the way it was passed, as a crime against democracy, the country has simply not accepted it. The lies, the browbeating, the ‘deem and pass’ — all of it was a suicide mission.”

Thankfully, the public will put an end to the Dems irrationality and self-destructive behavior while they have their hands on the controls of the nation.

Turns out while destroying the country, they also have destroyed themselves, as predicted repeatedly by me.

As William Jacobson writes, “Stopa is a Physicist specializing in computation and nanoscience in the Physics Department at Harvard University, and director of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation Project.  So let’s just say the guy pays attention to details.”

Stopa is running in the Republican primary in the 3rd District of Massachusetts and you can download his paper here.
