Sis: Republican Waterloo

Kudos to banjomike for being Johnny on the spot with the link to the rational political analysis from former Reagan speechwriter David Frum who accurately criticizes Republicans for their all or nothing campaign on health care reform. And like Napoleon after Waterloo, they now have nothing because they put politics over policy, threatening to turn our country into a cynical wasteland just so they can try and be in charge again. I especially appreciated his acknowledgment of how the teabagger juggernaut does nothing to move America forward/Sisyphus, 43rd State Blues. David Frum column and rest of comment here.

Question: If the historic health care reform bill was a waterloo for one party or the other, which party will ultimately suffer the most from it?
