Can it really be?

There are reports today that Congressional Democrats have agreed that the House will pass the Senate healthcare bill which will then be amended through the use of reconcilliation so as to avoid a filibuster. Can that actually be true? Have the Obamacrats lost their minds?

right now a substantial majority of the American people oppose the budget busting bill passed by the Senate. Poll after poll confirms this fact. Further, the polls also confirm that the public wants the Congress to focus on job creation not health care by approximately 4 to 1. The Democrats, however, seem unable to move on to consider things that the country actually wants. Instead they fixate on the need to get a healthcare bill through Congress. Meanwhile their approval ratings sink lower and lower. If we were in Japan, this would be harikiri. In the USA it is just maniacal.

To make matters worse, it appears that the whole healthcare conference that Obama is setting up with the Republicans is just a farce to distract from what is actually going to take place. My guess is that once voters realize the games that the Obamacrats are playing they will punish the Dems big time.

It seems hard to believe that the Dems in Congress will go along with their leaders on this. If they do, it will be a long time again before there is a Democrat majority in Congress in my opinion.
