Republican Waterloo

[native]

...Some quick decisions are going to have to be made by conks now: do you get on the bandwagon now while there's still time, or do you put all your efforts into defeating this bill now before the public gets on board....

Frum was just on NPR, very interesting interview - the guy who coined the term axis of evil, and wrote speeches for George Bush, and speaks of "...conservatives and Republicans...", says the Republicans have screwed the pooch much more than they realize. He says their all out gamble to break Obama on health care has failed twice: besides getting their asss kicked by Obama, their all-or-nothing strategy also left them unable to influence the content of the bill, which is front loaded with goodies.

The Question - Will the Republican's inability to stop Obama on health care be looked back upon as a greater or lesser blunder than Gingrich's attempt to halt government? Discuss.

That's where the Republicans went wrong. They went from being conservatives to being corporate lapdogs.
