Bill Owens’ victory toppled NY23 Republican stronghold that’s been held since 1872. Quite a victory for the leftists, wouldn’t you say? The House debate on Saturday to overhaul health care took place 3 years to the date of the 2006 election that gave them control.
In Jackie Calmes’ New York Times article “Lawmakers Detail Obama’s Pitch” she mentions this little tidbit:
The president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”
