Republicans cannot stop “health care reform,” so stop pretending they can

You know, Saintseester pointed this out a few weeks back, and it’s been steadily grating on me the longer this whole health care “reform” debacle has gone on.

These proposed policies’ proponents keep squawking about building consensus, and getting something done “for the American people,” and so forth.  And shucks darn it all, they’d be able to do it too, but for these damned Republicans who are standing in the way of all that is decent by daring to ask questions about liberty and the wisdom of federalizing a seventh of the economy, and “paying for it” with deficit dollars.

Y’all have the numbers to do anything you want.  You can’t be stopped.  Do you hear me?  You can’t be stopped, even by completely unified opposition.

So you push it through, you wimps.  Not one more word about Republican obstructionism.  It’s a phantasm, designed to shield you from what you know will be particularly grave consequences from this massive appropriation of power.  You know it.  I know it.  But you seem determined not to ask any real questions—any questions residing in that massive middle you’re excluding—so let’s get to it.

Pass some massive power grab, and then feel the consequences in 2010.
