The Tea Party members and others who opposed the healthcare bill had to go to Washington because the Democratic leadership is not letting their people go back to their districts to face the angry citizenry. Nonetheless, the vote on Sunday showed that the Democrats do not really care how the citizenry feel. They are willing to risk electoral losses to please their political messiah. In the light of such arrogance, most of the opposition will now return to their districts and accelerate their efforts at the local level. I for one plan to do just that.
On a side note, did anyone else feel that it was creepy for the Democrats to ignore the will of the American people and then to chant the mantra of Mr. Obama as they did it. When Mrs. Pelosi gave her thank you speech I found it very unseamly how much she fawned on Mr. Obama. The Democrats have stopped serving the American people and now only serve their political leader. They have become a bunch of bootlicks and that makes me fear for the nation more than the legislation they passed.
