ObamaCare sickens…

I am second to no one in my dislike of Barney Frank,  not because of his lifestyle,   but because he is arrogant and intelligent while being wrong on nearly everything.     I don’t for an instant believe he’d refuse to go along with whatever leadership can devise to pass ObamaCare,  but the mere fact that he has  said this is astonishing.

Philip Klein also doesn’t think the  health reform bill is completely dead,  but qualifies only for life support at this stage.

The Boston Herald has a nice wrap-up,   but I wouldn’t bet that Democrats have actually  gotten the message yet,  as evidenced by the  response of Democratic Congressional  Campaign Committee chair,   Rep.  Chris Van Hollen.

Perhaps they should read Michael Barone’s  piece for enlightenment,   since so many of them appear to have landed in the  state of denial.

UPDATE:   Barney Frank,  as I predicted,  has done a flip-flop in less than 24 hours, n ow saying he could support the Senate bill and the so-called nuclear option.
