The Tyranny Of Barack, Harry, And Nancy

The Democrats love to point to public opinion polls that say that the majority of Americans want health care reform. And, it is true that they do want some kind of reform. However, those same Democrats totally ignore the more specifically addressed polls where as many as 75% of Americans say they don't want the reform being proposed by Barack Obama and the Democratically-controlled Congress. In fact, in the latest such poll from CNN, 75% were against the current Congressional proposals for health care:



Right now, Obama, Reid and Pelosi are strongly suggesting that they will proceed with Reconciliation -- a circumventing of the super-majority rules of the Senate -- to pass their health care package. I guess I could agree that Reconciliation could be used as a necessary evil if the political minority -- currently the Republicans -- are blocking the passage of a law or laws that the "majority" of people were in favor of. But in this case, a political party is willing to use an abuse of the Senate rules and their dominant power when it runs against the will of most Americans. That, my friends, is a pure example of tyranny!
