Now, imagine how the indies will see it when ObamaCoup is struck down. How will the liberals react?
Will they go back to the drawing board to formulate a plan that will garner public support and pass constitutional muster?
No.
The libs will howl that Mrs. Thomas was a anti-ObamaCare lobbyist who unduly swayed her husband Clarence with no mention that Elena Kagan was an advisor to the passing of the law.
And then the libs will find other petulant excuses for why the lawsuit brought by the Catholics is going against them...or they'll just spew anti-Catholic diatribe.
The one thing they won't do is try to figure out how to effectively present and obtain their policies.
Need another example?

If you wanted to justify the policy of taxing the free market to pump money into pet projects for cronies wouldn't it make sense to pick a project that was actually viable? Nothing could be more damaging to your message than a spectacular, overly-hyped money-guzzling failure first time out of the gate.
A truly selfish person would act in his own best interest...
...if he were competent.
