You can't do something like healthcare reform w/o national consensus. The blue dogs know this. The liberal democrats ignore this, and frankly don't care. They are safe no matter what.
Yes, the GOP lost its way and overreached. You knew the dems would do the same, but you don't necessarily expect them to commit political suicide in less than a year.
You cannot cram something this big down the throat of Americans w/o a national debate, discussion, and finally, consensus. Obama is trying to achieve reform with no debate, no discussion, and no consensus. Good luck with that.
