Tone Deaf Democrats

Democrats in the US House of Representatives heralded victory as they trumpeted the triumph of socialism over good sense and against the interests and wishes of wide swathes of their own constituencies. Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House from uber-liberal San Francisco where her radical voters might actually embrace socialized medicine, joined President Obama in shilling the public health option, holding up the endorsements of the AARP, which is acting against the wishes of many of its own now terrified members rationally worried about the coming certain Medicare cuts and realizing that even if there are not official "death panels", the bill through forced rationing nonetheless produces the same effect of denying not just choice but ultimately care to the most vulnerable (i.e. no cancer treatment, just palliative care for people suffering with dementia), and the AMA, whose membership comprises only seventeen percent of physicians and was divided in any event over the House-passed plan. Middle America, so-called flyover country, does not want public-option "hell care". Seniors, contrary to the position of the AARP, are in the forefront against Obama care. Doctors, who want the freedom to treat patients without a bureaucrat in the way are against the plan. The Democrats who pushed the bill through ignored all that, feeling that they are in secure districts, that their reelections will be reassured through vote fraud and manipulation, or perhaps because they have been told that due to some Reichstag fire-type pretext, they are secure in their jobs for life because they will never have to stand for another election. The tea party protests are an organic movement, not astro-turfing, but stem from genuine outrage, mostly directed at liberal tax and spend politicians. If the people are given the chance to vote, many of the bums who have assailed our patrimony and spent our grandchildrens' legacy will be thrown out of office. This vote on Obama care has sealed their fate.
