Pretending like they’re speaking with the voice of God, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi issued this press release:

“This afternoon, the Congress sent to President Bush a bipartisan bill to insure 10 million of our nation’s children. It is our hope and the will of the American people that the President will sign the bill into law on behalf of the future. It is right for no less than 10 million reasons, our children.”

Forgive me for asking but when did it become the “will of the people” to pass legislation that would serve as a first step to government-run universal health care? I don’t recall seeing any polling showing that the American people want that type of system. Let me correct that: I haven’t seen any polling from professional polling companies that’s said that. You can always find a lobbyist-sponsored poll to show that.

I’d further ask people this simple question: When was the last time Harry and Nancy accurately deciphered the will of the American people? Remember that they’re the duo that said that the surge had failed. Remember that they were the duo that thought Republicans would be greeted with a groundswell of anti-war sentiment. They’re also the duo that thought that these Republicans would return from their August recess chastened and ready to vote for precipitous withdrawal from Iraq.

With that information in mind, their God-like pronouncement on the “will of the people” is laughable at best. These two wouldn’t recognize the mainstream of American politics if they had a roadmap and a GPS to help find it.
