And I don’t want to be friends.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Most (52%) remain opposed.

Only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed.

Hardly the “everybody wants it” scenario the elected goons in this now delusional representative republic have been describing, right?

It should be obvious to even the most casual observer that the Botox Hag and her Flying Monkeys up on Capitol Hill have lost touch with the concept of representation as it’s described in the U.S. Constitution. Then again, it’s probably it’s probably a stretch to hope that most of them have read any of the Constitution in the first place.

The simple fact of the matter is this: the health care reform that Congress and President Obama long to see annihilating the economy isn’t something that’s wanted by a majority of the people they represent. It’s a pet project for the president’s progressive street cred and a byproduct of Speaker Pelosi’s San Francisco delirium. Generations of Americans are about to be sold out for an Obama vanity project that will appease the fringe of the Democratic party.

Despite the president’s best used car salesman attempts to lie about the ultimate goal of “reform”, many Americans remain immune to the spell.

Naturally, we can’t discuss this rationally because it’s an issue that’s near and dear to the progressive Left, which means it’s all about emotion. I would LOVE to have a discussion about fixing the things in the health care system which really need fixing. However, unless I subscribe to the marching orders issued from the White House through Congress, I’m branded an ignorant racist who is merely interested in blocking whatever the president does.

Actually, I’d just like to participate in what used to be a deliberative process that valued an exchange of ideas. A massive overhaul of several sectors of the American economy that has to be sneaked past us on a Saturday night in the hope that everyone will be too drunk to notice makes me a little skittish. Pelosi did everything but give us rufis prior to this reaming.

Paraphrasing Rep. Peter Roskam from last Saturday’s, um, debate: If this is something that everybody wants why are you threatening imprisonment for those who don’t participate?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but this dysfunctional relationship between Congress and the people it purportedly serves is wearing me out. It’s beyond the point where even Dr. Phil can fix it.

I want out. Nancy, you’re gonna have to go. Pack up your socialist nonsense and go back to San Francisco. No, no, keep the pension. Just leave.

Now.

    I can taste your frustration, and it’s the same foul presence that’s in my mouth.

    The Constitution has become to Congress what stoplights are to New Orleans drivers: no more than a mild sugestion.

    The initial pavers of the yellow-plated brick road to the sparkling Emerald-Green City of communism were laid last weekend by 220 members of the House of Representatives, including mine.

    Can you say mandate?

    The “give me a government hand-out” crowd is in need of appeasement. They have been kept waiting long enough.

    Let’s not forget that Obama wanted health care reform passed back in August.
