The Stupid Party

The President's prescription drug plan is enormously popular --more than 80% of the 22.5 million enrollees like it, and it's costing a lot less than projected, too. Too bad no Republicans mentioned this during the campaign. One of the architects of the program remarked:

Black voters, poor voters -- people who generally vote Democratic -- they got the biggest benefit in 40 years and nobody told them that," Scully said.

Only Republicans could defy their principles by creating a massive government program and then fail to promote the program. Of course, WaPo didn't report it during the campaign either. The only stories I recall were reports of massive snafus during the opening weeks of enrollment. Curtsy: powerline.
