Pelosi's Arrogance Knows No Bounds

Arrogance, contempt and obfuscation in the health care debate -- that's Speaker Pelosi’s idea of transparency.

Several public opinion surveys over the last ten or eleven months make it clear the American people do not want the health care reform legislation currently before Congress to pass. It’s a sea change in the public’s attitude since from the days immediately following the 2008 election, when Democrats from the newly-elected Barack Obama on down universally proclaimed that the people had given them a mandate, that they had embraced the idea that the government should increase its control of the health care system and, with it, nearly one-sixth of the U.S. economy.

Those claims were smoke and mirrors then and they are smoke and mirrors now. Utilizing a process that, contrary to the claims of leading Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid has been anything but transparent, a bill has been produced full of special interest carve outs, tax increases and pork-laden political payoffs that, according to those who have studied the bill closely, will only make matters worse.

The American public has grown cynical about the whole business. Who can blame them -- especially when a majority of those in Congress will not even promise to read the bill before voting on it? Unfortunately for the people’s interests, the trickery appears to be getting worse. Nothing exemplifies the contempt that Speaker Pelosi has for the public and everyone outside her little circle of intimidated puppets better than her arrogant assertion that “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.â€

They took an oath of office..... They are breaking that oath and the law..... Pelosi and Reid should be removed from office,and Obama should be Impeached for crimes against It's United States citizens. They are all traitors to their office and to the American citizens that they are supposed to represent.....

The terrorists have invaded the White House and Congress.

Pelosi: Confident House will pass health care bill

(AP) – 3 hours ago

SAN FRANCISCO — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she's confident the House will pass health care legislation, while dismissing Republican criticism that she did not have enough votes for the measure.

The San Francisco Democrat spoke Saturday afternoon at the dedication of the renamed Lim P. Lee Post Office in San Francisco. The post office is now named after the nation's first Chinese-American postmaster.

Pelosi declined to discuss when House members would vote on health care bill, or how many votes that she had secured.

Pelosi was responding to comments made by Rep. John Boehner, a Republican from Ohio, who said that he did not think that House Democrats had enough votes for the bill.

House Democratic leaders are pressing for a vote on the measure as early as this coming week.

Hannity's Web Site this morning has this projected breakdown on Dem votes:

Indicates 166 strong Yes votes, 24 Probable Yes votes, and 11 votes leaning Yes. Total: 31

No Votes: 24 Probable, 17 Leaning No, and 11 votes that are a Toss Up.

It is a socialist agenda. I care not what is in it. Reform is fine but not socialistic reform. They have no constitutional backing to pass a bill like this. Let the impeachment proceedings begin if they pass this none democratic atrocity.
