Not really...... but the wing-nut art of projection reaches a new low....


The Affordable Care Act’s rollout has left much to desire, something of which Democrats, including President Obama, are painfully aware. And perhaps unsurprisingly, Obamacare’s “failure to launch” has Republicans glibly plastered all over conservative networks saying four words no one ever wants to hear: “I told you so.” And in true GOP fashion, they’re also jumping the gun to celebrate American liberals’ demise. Columnist Charles Krauthammer even went on Fox News to state that what we’re witnessing is “not just Obamacare the Obama administration unraveling the collapse of American liberalism.” Michele Bachmann also added her 2 cents to the “victory lap” when she announced that the Obamacare flub has her looking like a “genius.”

Thankfully Stephen Colbert has a facetious skit or two to prove Krauthammer and friends wrong.

Once again the New Confederacy is shouting into its echo chamber and believing they are speaking to America. They certainly are not. Ask anyone - they know the right wing trickle down game is rigged. People understand the teapublican party is owned lock stock and barrel by the Koch Bros, the Wall Street Weasels, and the mega-corporations - and they have just about had enough of ever widening disparity between the haves and the have nots.

I used to think Herr Krauthammer was fairly serious for a conservative, but he's been totally Fox-ified, spewing pure bullshit.

"the collapse of American liberalism."

TX cities are blue except for Cow Town, marriage equality and mj legalization keep making electoral and polling progress, Repugs and tea bagger support keeps dropping to new lows, while the Repug party itself keeps moving to the extreme fringe, purging anybody who has the slightest reek of moderation or compromise. ie, Satan-hugger Christie doesn't have a chance.

Krauthammer used to be a liberal, but then he grew up.
