Health Reform: As predicted, the Democrats are using the vote of one very liberal Republican as proof their health care takeover is “bipartisan.” It’s nothing of the sort. But then, we’re getting used to such exaggerations.

To ensure passage even in a Congress where they have an overwhelming, veto-proof majority, the Democrats have used deceit and outright lies to make their case. Calling the Baucus health overhaul “bipartisan” simply because Republican-in-name-only Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine opted to vote for the bill is just one example.

Snowe in fact is more liberal than most of Blue Dog Democrats, some of whom have shown the wisdom to object to the nationalization of 17% of the U.S. economy.
