You can think that all day, the polls say otherwise. Really? Most of the news I listened to during the campaign didn't say more than a passing line about his healthcare agenda, only insiders knew he was going to go for a grand scale attempt at takeover. Really, so all the protests nationwide, a brick through a DNC headquarters window IN NEW YORK CITY, and the Democrat senators running away from their votes and voters is all in my head right? I think someone's assuming they are in the majority, but it 'aint me.
Let's revisit how our government works. We aren't a straight democracy which operates on a majority/mob rule basis, but a representative democracy. That means that each district of the U.S. elects its own representation and those representatives enact the will of their constituents.
The majority of the representatives, IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE, are currently democrats. Those democrats were elected LOCALLY, with the understanding in the heads of most of the voters, that they would do something about healthcare.
Thus, your premise is flawed. You are equating your personal opinions and polls with doing the work of the people. The fact remains that if the people didn't want healthcare reform, they've had clear choices in the last 2 or 3 elections in that regard. There was not a voter in 2008 who didn't realize that casting a vote for a democrat was casting a vote for healthcare reform.
Sorry, teabaggers. You lost. Not only did you lose yesterday, but frankly, you lost 2 years ago. That was when the choice was made. Yesterday was a foregone conclusion when Democrats gained the majority in the house/senate and the presidency.
