			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31530.html" target="_blank">Politico post</a> about Democrat&#8217;s mounting anger (which is really fear), Obama demonstrates&nbsp;how&nbsp;tenuous&nbsp;their grasp on reality is:</p>

<blockquote><p>“Believe me, I know how big a lift this has been,” Obama said. “I see the polls. &#8230; I catch the occasional blog poster, cable clip that breathlessly declares what something means for a political party, without really talking about what it means for a country.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“But I also know what happens once we get this done, once we sign this &#8230; bill into law: The American people will suddenly learn that this bill does things they like and doesn’t do things people have been trying to say it does. The worst fears will prove groundless.”</p></blockquote>

<p>That man is such an snake-tongued politician. He&#8217;s telling them exactly what they want to hear. Obama knows the public will flip out and the Democrats will be slaughtered in the next election if this travesty passes. He&#8217;s hoping the heinous legislation will &#8216;stick&#8217; and the constitution will ultimately be subverted. Even an unqualified political blogger like me knows <em>that</em>.</p>

<p>Mr. Messiah-Complex sees himself has Our Savior and he&#8217;s therefore willing to sacrifice himself in the next election, if necessary. Since he&#8217;s their Dear Leader, he&#8217;s also willing to sacrifice individual Democrats for the &#8220;greater good.&#8221; &nbsp;They sense their impending doom, but, like good little groupthinkers, they&#8217;re still committed to their suicide mission. This situation produced Rep. Earl Pomeroy&#8217;s statement that &#8220;<a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31530.html" target="_blank">he might as well retire if [the health care debate] drags on much longer</a>.&#8221; Pomeroy isn&#8217;t even <strong>entertaining </strong>the option of NOT voting for the corrupt bill. For Democrats like Pomeroy,&nbsp;Obama is purposely perpetuating the strange myth that the public fury will ease off once the bill is passed.</p>

<p>The public does N-O-T take kindly to having it&#8217;s will thwarted on Health care. Recall<a href="http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2005/01/09/democrats-help-turn-the-republican-revolution-of-1994-from-a-one-time-temper-tantrum-into-a-decade-long-bull-market-for-the-gop/" target="_blank">&nbsp;the Clinton decision to govern from the left, with gays in the military, HillaryCare, and a tie vote tax increase in the face of a Bush-Perot vote of 57% to 43% for Clinton&nbsp;followed by Republican revolution of 1994</a>?&nbsp;The public will only become further enraged when they find out what&#8217;s really in this DeathCare bill. It will make health care much worse, no socio-economic group will truly benefit from it, save one.</p>

<p>Make no mistake &#8211; this &#8220;health care&#8221; legislation is a major power grab for the Power Elite Class. They&#8217;re pushing the constitution to the limits, hoping it will break in their favor. It&#8217;s important to note this class crosses party lines. From <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/125030/Healthcare-Bill-Support-Ticks-Up-Public-Divided.aspx" target="_blank">Gallup</a>:</p>

<p><img src="http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/5trowatlok2txr9v9uxf_g.gif" alt="Combined Healthcare Vote Preference, by Party ID" /></p>

<p>20% of Republicans support this legislation? This legislation is so nakedly anti-liberty, so hostile to individual freedom that nobody who cares even a little about our constitutional democracy&#8217;s survival would ever support it. But, one out of every five Republicans <em>do</em>&nbsp;support it?&nbsp;</p>

<p>I&#8217;d wager most of these are <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/01/14/powell-very-impressed-with-obama-administration/" target="_blank">Colin Powell</a> Republicans, members of the Power Elite Class. These are the weak-minded&nbsp;Machiavellian Princes&nbsp;interested&nbsp;in giving themselves more power over those unruly common&nbsp;<em>citizens</em>&nbsp;by suppressing bothersome <em>inalienable&nbsp;</em><em>rights</em>&nbsp;under the auspices of &#8220;&#8216;helping&#8217; those less fortunate.&#8221; These are the people that want to take away your right <em>not</em> to buy something you <em>don&#8217;t </em>want.</p><div style='clear:both'></div>]]></content:encoded>
