Nancy Pelosi said, “But we have to pass the [health care ] bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

Republican Independent Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate seat in what is clearly a national referendum rejecting Obamacare and Obama’s era of BIG Government.
People in Mass were angry over backroom deals to cram down the socialist agenda.  The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, and the stunning $60B (yes that is a billion) dollar payoff to unions, excepting them from healthcare taxes!  See the WSJ Labor’s $60 B Payoff.
Even Juan Williams, Fox News analyst and a constant defender of Obama, had to admit that these moves don’t look good.
For a politician who ran on “change”, I bet most people thought Obama would mean less corruption in politics, not more.
But don’t call these “bribes” or “corruption”, as Willy Brown, Dem from California, said on Hannity last night.  Bribes are illegal, says Brown, and you go to jail.  These actions are just the normal part of making laws! (Funny how you need to pass out bribes when you have an overwhelming majority!)
So Mass voters rejected this!  After having a Kennedy in the seat for decades, they sent a strong message:  We want our government back.
But will Obama, Reid and Pelosi listen? Â Will they, like Clinton did when sent a similar message in 1994, move to the center?
I doubt it.  Even before the votes were in, Democratics were heaping blame on loser Coakley for running a poor campaign.
The message line will likely run: “We have been to internally focussed on the passage of the bills (who to pay off) and haven’t spent enough time communicating our message.  Once the American people know how good our (socialist) programs are, they will come around to us.”
Juan Williams on last Sunday’s Fox News Sunday said “The American people like entitlements”.  Yep, who doesn’t like a free lunch?  But it is obvious to most Americans now that it isn’t free.  It might be free for Nebraskans, and for Union members, but we and our children will be paying for special interests forever.
In other words, the Dem leadership will not take this as a warning shot for the November mid-terms, but will double-down their bets — press healthcare harder, and push more of their leftist program.  (After all, they are smarter than the rest of us.  We just don’t understand as well as they do!)
I honestly hope they do learn a lesson.  But to the extent they continue to drive left, thinking they only have 10 months left to produce the socialist outcome, the incumbent losses in November will be even greater.  Yep, I think liberal Republicans should either get the people’s religion, or retire in favor of a more small government candidate.
Thanks to every person in Mass who voted for Real Change.
