Ezra Klein explains the basic dishonesty in Mitt Romney's attacks on "Obamacare." But really, I don't think the details matter to a lot of people. Romney could go out now and claim we have to repeal the bill because it calls for mandatory anal probes and killing kittens…and most of his base would pick up on that.
They don't hate the bill. They don't know what's in the bill. And this week, they hate something more than they hate Obama or Democrats or having the White House occupied by a Black Socialist Muslim Kenyan who wants to ban their religion and take away their guns. This week, what they really hate is losing a battle they were sure they'd won.
