"Democrats Seem Set...

...to go Alone on a Health Bill," is the lead headline in the New York Times this morning. The first paragraph says that:

Given hardening Republican opposition to Congressional health care proposals, Democrats now say they see little chance of the minority’s cooperation in approving any overhaul, and are increasingly focused on drawing support for a final plan from within their own ranks.

The Party of "No" won't cooperate with the Democrats? As my older boy would say, "Shocker!" Shouldn't it be obvious by now that the Republican strategy has been to oppose Obama and the Democrats at every turn and just hope and pray that the economy doesn't recover by 2010 or 2012? At least Rush Limbaugh was honest about it. I wonder if this is how the Whigs achieved a permanent majority?
