Irrational Politics, Left and Right
Sep. 13th, 2010 11:13 pmLeft: Oh, come on. Saying, "Health coverage is too important to leave to the laws of economics" is like saying "My health is too important to leave to the laws of physics". Reality will bitch-slap you.
Right: And now, we have the Alice in Wonderland situation where the Republicans are trying to block the extension of Bush's tax cuts, because the extension will "only" apply to those families earning less than $250,000. During a recession. Is there a clearer way of saying "we've been bought"? Or perhaps they've just been opposing Obama for so long, they've completely and utterly forgotten what it is they're supposed to stand for.
