"That's not irony. It's intentional."

Via Daily Kos:
"The big irony behind the scorched-earth Republican offensive against President Obama’s health care law is that its expansion of coverage to the uninsured would benefit House districts represented by Republicans nearly as much as those represented by Democrats."
That's not irony. It's intentional.
These people have spent three years railing against this fictional threat and now that it's here, and now that it's working, and now that people are clamoring to be a part of it...
...if the Republicans in those districts realize their representatives were actually fighting against their best interests for years, how many of them do you think would peel off and vote Democrat?
Or at the very least, stay home because they realized their incumbent is a tool?
No, there's no irony here. There's the cold calculation that these voters won't figure out just how screwed over they are by their governors and their congressmen until after 2014.
They'd best hope to God all they do is talk to fellow uninformeds or watch Fox News. Or hope they don't get sick and NEED healthcare and realize they could have had it.
Because all it would take is one click at Http://Healthcare.gov/ or one conversation with a friend or relative in a state that doesn't have a bully for a governor...
...and the game is over.
