If you wonder how disconnected Democrats and their Ministry of Propaganda (i.e. the mainstream media) are, you need only listen to their incredible contortions in trying to "explain" why the American people have soundly rejected government run health care. Obama, of course, blames it on you - like most elitist liberals, he assumes that if you reject his "enlightened" policies, it must be that you're just too stupid to know what's good for you.
Obama lamented not "explaining" his plan more clearly, so that you dunderheads would better understand it. He apparently still doesn't grasp the fact that his socialistic takeover of the health care system was rejected precisely because voters DO understand it. Surveys now show that 77% of Americans oppose his "healthcare reform" - and the more they learn about the hidden taxes, payoffs to unions, and cuts in Medicare that are in the bloated bill, the greater their opposition.
In fact, so great is the anger over Obamacare that even the staunchly liberal voters of Massachusetts ended more than 40 years of Democrat control and elected a Republican to occupy the Senate seat formerly held by ultra-liberal icon Ted Kennedy. Yet Obama himself had the audacity to suggest that Brown was "swept into office by the same forces" that got him elected in 2008! According to Obama, the voters in Massachusetts were so angry at the "8 years" of Republican George Bush, that they elected a Republican in 2010!
But even more interesting was the mainstream media's take on the election of Scott Brown - according to their almost laughable "analysis" of the situation, the voters of Massachusetts elected a Republican candidate who outspokenly ran on the pledge to be "the 41st vote AGAINST the Obama health care plan" because...they actually wanted the Obama health care plan!
Democrat Howard Dean almost came to blows with the nearly hysterical MSNBC talking head Chris Mathews when Dean claimed that the vote for Brown was (are you ready?) a validation of Obama's plan! Even the ultra-left Mathews couldn't believe he was serious, asking Dean "so, what you're saying is that if your candidate wins, the voters wanted healthcare reform, and if your candidate loses, they wanted healthcare reform, is that it? Are the voters crazy?" All Dean could do was to say that "the only crazy person in this room" was Mathews. Now, now, boys, let's not lose our tempers.
Yet liberal media pundits persist in trying to spin the Brown victory, casting it as not being a repudiation of Obama and the Democrat's failed economic policies and expansion of government. Oh, no. In spite of the recent polls showing that the majority of Americans now want less government, the media types assert that the voters in Massachusetts must have been saying that they want even more government!
Each time we think we've heard the most outrageous insanity from the liberals in the Congress and the media, they seem to rise to the challenge and outdo themselves yet again. What's even more confusing is that they can't seem to decide whether:
A) Americans have rejected Obamacare because they are too stupid to understand how wonderful it is
or
B) Americans aren't really rejecting Obamacare - they are actually angry (and voting for Republicans) because is hasn't been passed!
But no matter which version of their personal reality they choose to embrace, as more and more Americans get to the point of being as "mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore" it will be interesting to see when, if ever, they will see the light...or will they remain in their insulated little bubble until they "feel the heat" in November?
