i think you're wrong, i think this is a hysterical reaction by some fraction of the public that's been fed crap by extreme right-wing fearmongers, and that hysteria will subside once reality sets in and people realize they like their fucking health care then better than they do now.

anybody who even took palin seriously is obviously going to be bait for the "socialism" squeals, even though this plan is something nixon would have probably signed (though for different reasons, and it was a different time). so it's not like these "borderline" people were reasonable in the first place ("borderline", ha ha-- a type of mental illness).

anyway, your political predictions have proven consistently wrong since 2008 or so, therefore i suggest you take your own omens with a grain of salt and consider that between now and 2012 a lot can happen and palin is a fucking joke who's now going to narrate an alaska travelogue for the discovery channel (i'm not joking, though it sounds like a joke).

in any case, fearmongering and hysteria have failed-- no use in beating the same dead horse rush limbaugh has been beating since he came back from his oxycontin scandal.

fearmongering + hysteria = FAIL
