Referring to health care:
“If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo,” Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said yesterday during a conference call with conservative activists. “It will break him.”

Fucking asshole. As if we needed proof that it’s all politics for them. Just defeat Obama and the Dems in anything they attempt.
Are you sure it was DeMint and not Lieberman or Ross or Landrieu or Nelson or some other “Dem” “centrist”? Their actions lead toward precisely the same endgame as DeMint’s.
What DeMint doesn’t seem to understand is that if they defeat Obama on healthcare he defeats the American public, and that could actually translate to defeating himself.
No one in the remaining GOP leadership gives a rat’s ass about the “American public”. The old white men who run the GOP only care about people like themselves, and they, as a class, can afford their healthcare just fine, thankyouverymuch. Their goal is to torpedo this black president before he can funnel money from rich white robber barons to poor black people. They’re not real thrilled about money going to poor white people, either, but the thought of their dollars going to black people drives them nuts.
You probably have to grow up in the deep South to recognize Jim DeMint’s ilk. People like him don’t even need to use dog whistle tactics; you can tell just from looking at the guy, the way he dresses, the way he talks, and the look in his eyes. He’s Klan. He might or might not be a pro forma member or have ever worn the hood, but he’s Klan to the bone. I’d bet my last dollar on it.
He is mistaken about one thing, though. This isn’t Obama’s Waterloo. It’s his.
in the Senate deliiver him the GOP agenda, by providing a weak ineffective health care bill it will be. The GOP will be cheering for years while people die.
I hope the President drops his bipartisan fetish after this.
