Let me preface this by saying I cheered loudly when I read some of the front page diaries like Hunter's on the potential for an epic failure of Democrats in this Healthcare debate. And I don't mean to make excuses for the members in both houses of Congress or for the Whitehouse.
But last night I came across some data that we might do well to take into account. I was looking for parallels between what the Right was saying during the Medicare debate in 1965 and what is going on now. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I found something else that was pretty enlightening.
