| I'm unsurprised. He's not trusted by either side, and for good reasons. There's no way he would get the support he needs for either campaigning or for legislative programs. Essentially, Stupak outsmarted himself. |

Hell, I'm not surprised. I'm reading James Madison by John Meechum what they went through to get the Constitution (what most people now consider a pretty good idea) written and ratified may well have been more difficult than health care of the past year. And essentially the same underlying causes; doomsday scenarios, breathless hyperbole, misinformation, and outright lies. in today's climate Madison would be considered an elitist.

In today's climate, anyone who thinks they know a better way to do things than Joe Schmoe is considered an elitist. |
