    As the first hearings on the failed implementation of Obamacare begin Thursday, with the testimony of the healthcare.gov contractors before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Democrats have already developed their strategy for blunting Republican criticism. They will a) assert that repairs are being made; b) attack critics for "politicizing" the problems; and c) demand the GOP join efforts to support the law.

    Along the way, Democrats will cling mightily to the straw man upon which they relied throughout 2009-2010 during the debate over the law: namely, that if you oppose Obamacare you are opposed to providing health care to the working poor, to those with pre-existing conditions, to the temporarily unemployed. They will cover the foreseeable failure of a policy that has already hurt millions with the glory of noble intentions.

    He forgot "d", which is (as embodied by that fool Henry Waxman's five minute pile of horse hockey), "insist that people are signing up and finding everything wonderful in the Great Pretender's rose-colored world."
