Senator Kent Conrad: Health Care Bill Has Made Democrat Vulnerable In 2010, 2012

• January 21, 2010

And it’s not hard to see why Senator Conrad feels that way. After all, his fellow North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan chose to retire rather than run against a popular Governor and an electorate that is opposed to the Democrat health care takeover by a roughly 2/3′s majority. And his House colleague from North Dakota, Earl Pomeroy, has threatened to retire rather than run again if the health care debate drags on much longer.
In fact, reports suggest that Rep. Pomeroy is actually in the process of landing himself a golden parachute to the life insurance industry so that he can do just that.
So yes, Kent Conrad thinks the health care bill is hurting Democrats.

Asked if red-state Democrats up in 2010 and 2012 should be nervous about the electorate, Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) told POLITICO, “Oh, yeah.”
“I think part of the problem is the agenda itself,” said Conrad, who doesn’t face voters again until 2012. Instead of spending so much time on health care reform, Conrad said Democrats should have focused first on reducing the national debt and a bipartisan energy bill — and that President Barack Obama should have done a better job of explaining that the economic situation he inherited was “far worse” than he’d originally thought.

I wonder how thankful Conrad is that he’s still got until 2012 before he has to worry about facing re-election?

Conrad doesn’t get it, apparently. The Dems are in trouble because they aren’t acting like the majority. The need to get real health care reform, not necessarily the current bills, DONE.

Predictably, the North Dakota senator is too focused on the trees to take note of the forest. The so-called “health care reform” bill is a singular issue, but it is really symptomatic of a far more basic and troubling problem – the Democrat Party’s wholesale adoption of radical, leftwing, progressive ideology. Scott Brown’s trouncing of Democrat Coakley was certainly about health care. But it was also about uncontrolled spending, increasing taxes and regulation, and overall fiscal irresponsibility, vote buying and back-room deals, legislation that no one reads and no one understands, and the unconscionable arrogance and presumptuousness of Democrats at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

If Conrad doesn’t understand that, he’d be well advised to start looking for his own Golden Parachute while there still time.

Health Care is much better off without the government takeover proposed in both the Senate and House Bills. If they would have actually tried to fix the problems that are costing us more and more health care dollars every year most people would have been behind them.

People need to learn from this that no matter what “problem” liberals work on it is not about fixing what is broke. It is all about centralizing more power in government. We surely don’t need more bureaucrats telling us what to and not to do, and that is there goal with everything they work on. They have been very successful over the years in making more and more people dependent on government for almost eveything. This is not the America the founders intended!
