The conspiracy to keep you poor and dependent - Government-run health care is an opportunity to make Americans more dependent on the government...and that helps the statist Democrats. At least one guy let the cat out of the bag: "
Confessions of an ObamaCare backer."

There's more than one bag, and more than one cat.
Jim DeMint:
“If we are able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”
Orrin Hatch:
"And if they get there, of course, you’re going to have a very rough time having a two-party system in this country, because almost everybody’s going to say, 'All we ever were, all we ever are, all we ever hope to be depends on the Democratic Party.'”
Bill Kristol to Bob Dole, 1993:
"If you let him pass anything, Democrats will be a majority for a generation. You’ve got to beat it off.”
Of course, Senator DeMint and Senator Hatch and Kristol don't hold nearly as much sway over the political calculus as a guy from the New Yorker magazine.
Well, both sides have political considerations, but only one drains off our freedom with mandates, taxes, and borrowing from China.
Sir!
With the utmost respect I have to say I don't believe you believe what you wrote. What about No Child Left Behind, the senior drug benefit, nation-building, the sky-high deficits and China-borrowing under W?
True liberals and true conservatives need to wake up and realize that neither party has an ideology and that it is all about special interests and the pursuit of political power. Until then e-mailers, bloggers and other internet creatures will furiously cut and paste carefully selected snippets of quotes and other tendentious internet nonsense to convince themselves that their 'team' is righteous, regardless of how many 800 pound gorillas are banging around the room.
It's time for you to channel WFB, stand athwart history and yell "stop!"
The scrupulous principle behind the Obama criticism plays a lot better if you treat 2009 as Year One of history.
