Healthcare was a bipartisan issue....Just not the way Obama wanted it

The funniest thing about health care reform is this... Not only was the the “yes” vote highly partisan, the “no” vote was actually somewhat bi-partisan. Nearly a fifth of the people who voted against health care reform were Democrats. So the “Republican” side of the issue managed to convince a number on the “Democrat” side, but the Democrats convinced exactly zero Republicans.

We live in a world of accessible information. Quite frankly, if you’re too lazy to go look up the facts yourself you should probably make it a practice of just keeping your mouth shut. So when I hear people saying that this kind of narrow, one-party passage of major social legislation is par for the course.....eh not so much.
