Not according to Rep. John Dingle (D-MI):
“Let me remind you this [Americans allegedly dying because of lack of universal health care] has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”
If the Left were ever honest about their aims, they wouldn’t be enjoying the “success” they now are. The way to successfully deal with them is to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Wise Conservatives will be best served by thinking the worst of their Liberal and Progressive opponents–they always want control, they always will renege on deals, they always will be dishonest, they always will not care what Conservatives think, and they will never allow themselves to be constrained by laws, rules or agreements. Don’t believe me? Read “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky. If you have read it and you still don’t believe me, you haven’t been paying attention.
If Conservatives will consistently deal with Progressives with these assumptions in mind, they will be better able to proactively counter Progressive weaseling and prevent the damage caused by Progressive policies.
Sunday’s socialist uprising was only possible because of 100 years of steady Progressive plotting and conspiring. If the Republicans and Conservatives had recognized the truth about their opponents and acted on Reagan’s instincts 20 years ago, we would not now be looking at 10 years of repeal attempts just to get back 40 percent of what was lost on Sunday.

In the WaPo, E.J. Dionne said what few are saying about the health care so-called “reform.”
“Democrats have rallied behind a bill that Republicans — or at least large numbers of them — should love. It is built on a series of principles that Republicans espoused for years.
Republicans always say they are against “socialized medicine.” Not only is this bill nothing like a “single-payer” health system along Canadian or British lines. It doesn’t even include the “public option” that would have allowed people voluntarily to buy their insurance from the government.”

I think Mr. Dionne needs a refresher in what constitutes “market-based.”
The greatest asset to progressives is that many conservative leaders follow the same tact as you. As long as you people keep seeing nefarious deeds behind policy disagreements, and socialist/fascist plots behind ideological differences, progressives will continually gain the ear of the independent voter, necessary for success in any election cycle and almost all races.
Why? Because you sound like an idiot. Independent voters read lunatic ideas such as this, and respond, soundly “I want to be on whatever team ISN’T DOING THAT.’
So please, carry on…
