9. The Left is still nursing wounds from the health care betrayal
We were certainly mobilized during that debate, only to watch the administration slip a knife between our third and fourth rib.

Do you honestly think, after the public option debacle, the Left is going to bat for another piece of major legislation this year?

Another episode of Ike Turner Democrats. Beat the crap out of people, and then explain "C'mon, baby. We love you! Why don't you come on home now?"

Given how health care went, if the Left turned out in that way again, we'd probably see coal-powered stoves mandated for every household by the end of the debate.

You can't slap people around and then expect them to pretend it didn't happen.
