The American people have spoken -- and they have rejected the Democrats' health care plan. Poll after poll, rally after rally, constiuent phone call after constituent phone call leave no room for guessing. But President Obama and Nancy Pelosi don't care. They don't care that Americans -- whom they were elected to represent -- disagree with them. They don't care that they don't have enough votes from their SUPERMAJORITY. They will secure their votes, as Fox News contributor Doug Schoen said this morning, "by any means necessary."
Yesterday morning, Democrat Dennis Kucinich had solidly rejected the health care plan. After a quick ride on Air Force One with the President, he now wants to "hear more about what the President has to say." How many back room deals are being made right now to push weary Democrats over to the President's side? It's government corruption at its worst.
In addition to "buying" support through deals like the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase, Pelosi is trying to trick the American people -- most of whom have no genuine understanding of the interworkings of government. In addition to admitting that we don't even know what's in the bill, Pelosi is pushing a method that will merely "deem" the bill passed without Members actually voting so the power is all in their hands. That just doesn't seem right to me.
“I like it because people don’t have to vote on the Senate bill," Pelosi said this week.
How convenient. Though this tactic has been used many times before, it's never been used to push through legislation as monumental and precedent setting as this. It's happening all ready. Last week, Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY) said the Senate bill "burns the village in order to save it." Today Maffei has changed his mind and one has to wonder why he's decided to "burn the village."
As Rep. Mike Pence (IN) said today in press release, "More than three years ago Speaker Pelosi promised the American people a new direction and its time she made good on her promise." The most "ethical" Congress ever? I think not. Democrat leadership is desperate to ram this thing through because they need to have something to show for themselves. It's apparently the one campaign promise they will stop at nothing to keep.
If this health care bill passes, the Democrats will pay in November. The American people recognize this corruption, this hiding, these lies, for what they are. And they won't be electing anyone associated with it again soon. Proceed at your own peril, Mr. President.
