Exactly. Pay no attention to those union funds being poured into the Dem coffers…!

What we had was a silent majority that decided the time to be silent was long past.

If only.

But even if one favors some of the “central ideas” of those bills, one must question the need for 2000+ pages of bill and the setting up new bureaucracies to enforce the provisions. I use quotes on “central ideas” because who the heck knows what the central ideas are, given the absurd lengths and intracacies of those bills. To my mind, folks commenting on how Obama and the Democrats have over-reached are not emphasizing nearly enough the effective turning over of all this power to federal bureaucracies really not bound by much of anything: a 2000+ page document will “justify” anything any of them choose to do. More than anything else the lengths and Byzantine nature of these bills put the lie to any denial of driving toward Socialism, and justify an electorate bent on getting Obama and the Dems out of government.
