Forgiveness Lost

clipped from www.powerlineblog.com Politico begins its story about the rough reception two New Hampshire Democrats who voted for Obamacare have received from their constituents this way: If the experience of this state's two Democratic House members is any indication, the raw emotion and mistrust emanating from last summer's congressional town halls never really went away. I'm not sure why anyone thought it might have. All that has changed since last summer's town hall is (1) the Democrats enacted legislation disfavored by a clear majority of Americans and (2) they did so with the help of a series of unsavory back room deals. Under these circumstances, one would expect that, if anything, voters would be more angry and mistrustful now.
