John Boehner and congressional GOPs have been trying back their way out of attending Obama’s televised health care summit. Apparently they don’t want to walk into the “trap” of having to publicly put their health care “solutions” face to face with reality on national television. I mean, who could really blame them for not wanting a round two with the President, who so adeptly destroyed them on CSPAN weeks earlier?
Which is exactly why the Democrats must not let them get out of it. If they show up, in simple terms, they will get owned. If they don’t…well then Americans will see a room full of empty seats where Republicans should be. They will see that their incessant whining about a lack of bipartisanship on behalf of Democrats is bogus, and that the Republicans are in fact, not really interested in governing or in solving the problems faced by millions with no access to health care.
This is a win-win situation for the Democrats–which kind of makes me scared in a way, given the party’s seeming penchant for blowing win-win opportunities.
