Dems don't boast about health care bill
N/A

“A majority of voters continue to favor repeal of the new national health care law, and the number who see this outcome as likely has reached a new high.” (Oct. 25 Rasmussen Reports website)
American voters were told over and over that the now infamous health care bill had to be passed quickly, even before we had a chance to know what was in it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it had to passed “so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.”
Do you hear any Democrat politicians using their “yes” vote on the health care bill as a reason for them to be re-elected? Were they ignorant of the bill's contents or ignorant of the people's will regarding the bill's contents? Or, as many suspect, they knew its contents and they knew it would be unfavorably received, so they had to pass it quickly.
Beginning with Rep. David Loebsack, vote out those who don't trust you enough to determine your own future.
