The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

That is exactly right, Alex. That's why Bush's approval rating was so low - he had lost the conservatives too. This is why Obama's approval rating is crashing. He's losing the far left (and a large portion of the independents).

Howard Dean said he'd vote no on the current bill. Olberman said he'd rather go to jail than do some of the things in the current plan (being forced to purchase insurance from an insurance company).

But the dems are desperate to try to pass anything so they can claim a victory - it is the same as the republicans trying to block everything so they can do the same.
