The liberal talking heads don't get it

The liberal talking heads on CNBC, CNN etc simply don't get the furor over health care. They are blaming the vast right wing conspiracy--the insurance companies and, of course, the right wing media--meaning Fox News.

But the reality is that this is grass roots outrage at a half-baked plan presented in the most arrogant fashion ever. The problem for the Democrats is that this is NOT a Republican sneak attack. This is really the voters speaking, and ultimately behind closed doors the Democrats know it. With all of their daily tracking polls (how else do you decide government policy if you don't check the wind direction first?), they know that this is real.

Unfortunately, the Republicans have not found a voice to really capture this resentment of all things Washington, entitlements and elitist. It is really time for a "man from Dixon" that did not attend Harvard or Yale to arrive on the scene.

As Independent voters swing away from the Dems, they have got to be worried. Of course, maybe they think that 2010 is a long way off, but again they are miscalculating. There is plenty of agony looming along the way. Lets close our eyes and imagine, yes only imagine, that the Obama plan passes. What happens next? Well not much for some time, and during that time there will be a constant drumbeat of "where is the change?". Much like the non-stimulus, it will be a long time in arriving. And when it does, watch out. Every disgruntled citizen, and in any plan of this size there will be thousands, will rush to the media to complain about something. So.....if the Republicans were REALLY smart, they would let the Dems pass this dog on a party line vote and just sit back. The howling is going to be awful. Of course, O won't care, it won't be fully implemented until 2013 which by lucky coincidence is when he will have fought his last election.

Advice to the Republican party (without the benefit of any poll), run against:
1. Nancy Pelosi
2. UAW bailout/payoff
3. the entitlement culture--this has got to stop

These are sure winners!!!
