I love politics and it is easy to see ideological battle lines across the board. And there is no doubt that the 2012 election will offer plenty of meat for the ideologues on both the left and right. At first glance, the battle over health-care reform / Obama-care seems to be such a clear example of this. Yet, it isn’t. There is no stable, ideological line here.
