Why can't they just forgive and forget

Politico begins its story about the rough reception two New Hampshire Democrats who voted for Obamacare have received from their constituents this way:

If the experience of this state's two Democratic House members is any indication, the raw emotion and mistrust emanating from last summer's congressional town halls never really went away.

I'm not sure why anyone thought it might have. All that has changed since last summer's town hall is (1) the Democrats enacted legislation disfavored by a clear majority of Americans and (2) they did so with the help of a series of unsavory back room deals. Under these circumstances, one would expect that, if anything, voters would be more angry and mistrustful now.

Politico reporter David Catanese may have allowed Obama/Pelosi talking points to override common sense. If so, following New Hampshire Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes around the state has disabused him of the idea that, once Obamacare was enacted, voters would magically forget their objections and swallow the dog food.

Says Catanese, the public events attended by Shea-Porter and Hodes "provided a bracing reminder to Democrats that the political pivot from health care to economic and financial issues is going to be much more arduous than they expected." Indeed, "voters expressed profound cynicism and suspicion not just about the legislation, but about Washington, government and virtually everything that came out of their legislators' mouths."

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
