It seems that the little meeting Obama had one week ago may have brought out a few more votes from the voters in favor of health care but it sure isn't even half of them, let alone over half. Those who oppose what is now offered still outnumber those who want it by a large numbers.
Nobody's explained this yet. Oh well, the Dems will get what they want, whether it's what their constituents voted for or not. Rush is right: this is no democracy anymore.

Once again, when you delve into the numbers the opposition of the current bill will not give solace to the usual coterie of conservative critics because many of those opposed to the current proffered legislation, myself included, don't think that it goes far enough, hence the rising support in Senate for the public option.
If voters don't want health care, they can elect representatives to dismantle it. Reconciliation is going to happen and health care reform is going to pass this year.
Since health care reform is supposedly such a disaster, Republicans should be cheering on the Democrats to pass it. It should guarantee future victories for them, right? (Don't count on it.)

They're counting on Dems to "ram it through". The Dems aren't gonna do it because it will definitely mean bloodshed at the polls. The Dems are going to play politics just as the Reps are.
The majority of voters were against the Civil Rights Act, and Women's suffrage, among other things.
It's better to give the country what it needs rather than what it wants.

Equating the two is epic fail.
