or personality. It's that simple.

If you see Dems advocating or making bad policy or weakening good policy, why agree with or protect them just because they are Dems?

FDR said "make me do it". That's a piece of advice I take seriously. I think we have to try as hard as possible to force our politicians to do the right thing. If that means embarassing them into it, so be it.

I also want to say that Conservatives will NEVER pick up the arguments more lefty types have with President Obama, so it's just silly to say that you are arming the right with more ammunition. Do you really think Sarah Palin is going to say," And furthermore, taking single payer out of the game was a mistake"?
