Most curious logic

Why does Orrin Hatch oppose Democratic-led health care reform? Because it will lead to socialized medicine. And why does he oppose that?

And if they get there, of course, you're going to have a very rough time having a two-party system in this country, because almost everybody's going to say, "All we ever were, all we ever are, all we ever hope to be depends on the Democratic Party."

That's their goal. That's what keeps Democrats in power.

Hoo-kay. So if socialized medicine were, in fact, a bad thing, wouldn't people figure that out after living under it? And wouldn't they they turn to the Republican Party to liberate them from it? It's interesting that he doesn't make that argument. Rather, he seems to fear that it will be popular. Democratic health reform is bad because people will like it. Thanks for clearing that up.
