Chuck Norris Tuesday wrote a column equating "Obamacare" with "Herodcare" 
and concluding that if Mary was covered by a national health insurance 
plan, baby Jesus may never have been born.

Maybe it doesn't mean much that Norris wrote that; but it does mean 
something that this line has taken off big time (in just a couple days) 
among the anti-health-care-reform circles.

I'm not sure we have anyone who would know how to compete with that, or 
counter it, before that crowd.

On the other hand, maybe the "What would Jesus drive?" slogan did get some 
traction.
