re: #26 mph

I like David Frum and generally appreciate his opinions and exposure of the paleocon fringes of the Republican party…but in this case, respect the fact that the AEI is not necessarily trending fringe…(unless, of course, you consider being against Obamacare to be fringe).

The problem is that many of the elements in the healthcare reform bill were Republican proposals. Once adopted into the bill Republicans then decided to oppose the ideas they once endorsed simply because Obama accepted them, not because they were bad ideas. The problem is that the Republicans are no longer interested in ideas at all, they just want to oppose everything. That’s not smart policy and it’s not good for the country.
