olivant - Hilarious.

DD - I'm still of the opinion that whatever flaws HCR that passed Congress has, it's a foot in the door, a step forward. Instead of the GOP personalizing this as a conflict by personalizing it as the legacy of a Muslim Socialist Fascist terrorist, they should instead (and I mean "they" like Romney) should instead attack it on efficiency, not the ideology.

And I say that, among other reasons, because what if the SCOTUS upholds Obamacare? What if...well actually Mittens has already disowned his own involvement in HCR, so that's not rhetorical. Because if you totally cede an issue, you lose that issue with the other side (whether it wants it or not) may or may not decide to own it. A short term political rally victory might turn into a long term defeat.
