It would be funny to see Mr.Phips make a thread in 1853 about Whigs needing to stop tease us with abolition because it will either never happen or be struck own by SCOTUS (which made slavery a right 3 years later..and now SCOTUS is threatening us with handing down the right not to have Health Care Access).

No one is going to go to war for health care.

You type that as if that is something your nation should be proud of.

I don't know why you would infer that from a statement of simple and undeniable fact.

Anyway, my point is that Phips would have been right in 1853 and is probably right now. The Whigs never did get more than a tease of abolition, the party collapsed under its own weight because of the issue. The political process never did allow abolition, it took war and secession, something you wont get over health care. The Democrats squandered a great opportunity in 2009 and the watery Obamacare is probably the best we can get. Thank people like Joe Lieberman and Diane Feinstein.

Squishy Democrats like that exist because of other voters of your stripe.
