The best thing for Democrats is if Republicans go after health care reform.

For once I hope that Republicans actually follow through on their threat and to try repeal health care reform. Not only will this be a huge waste of time and money which Republicans claim to value above all else (second only to being an elected official), but all of the lies, that have become the accepted description of the health care reform bill, will be exposed. In all of the hearings that the Republicans plan, people will finally get to hear about all of the good things in this bill. There are a large number of items in this bill that the public supports and the more the Republicans make this an issue the more these good things will become what the health care reform bill represents.

Also when you consider that twice as many people think that the reform bill didn't go far enough when compared to those who thing the government should stay out of health care it becomes a big issue for Republicans.

The real problem here is that Republicans really don't understand why they won so big. They think people care about deficits. They don't. They think people want a repeal of health care reform. They don't. They think people support Republican ideas more than Democrat ideas. They don't. People want a job and given that all of the ideas the Republicans have mustered in the last 20 years have been implemented by Democrats and subsequently disavowed by the very people who come up with them in the first place, I don't expect Republicans to offer anything of substance to get people back to work.

If as Republicans suggest, the rich create jobs and tax cuts work, then the economy would already be roaring back since, the tax rates on the rich have never been lower, the rich have never been richer, and businesses have never had more money on hand. Turns out this theory only works when consumer confidence is high and thanks to their own efforts Republicans have made most of the country believe we are one step away from Armageddon. Well Republicans, you have made your bed, and now you must lie in it. Good luck! With no new ideas and a beaten down public, you're going to need it.
