What Democrats Think Of The American People

Bill Kristol sums it up in two words: "Not much."

Writing for the Weekly Standard and referencing an article from the Politico, Bill notes the following:

A memo from a top aide to Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen late last week counseled other Democratic staffers to tell their bosses not to worry, that "things like reconciliation and what the rules committee does is INSIDE BASEBALL." Yesterday House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters, "I don't think any American ... is going to make the distinction" between the Slaughter procedure and a straightforward vote on the legislation. "Process is interesting, particularly to all of us around this room. But in the final analysis, what is interesting to the American public is what does this bill do for them and their families."


Actually, what is interesting to us is what this bill will do to us and our families. We already know thanks to examples like Canada and Great Britain. That is why the majority of us are against socializing our health care. But the Dems seem to be completely oblivious to our position.

More:

Here the Democrats betray their contempt for the supposed simple-mindedness and short-sightedness of the American public. They also convey their vision of the American people living under the big government liberalism: We are to be passive consumers of government action, who accept what is done for us and to us in light of our perceived narrow short-term self-interest. We are not to think of ourselves as self-governing citizens with a stake in the process of constitutional self-government and a concern for the good of the whole.


Yep. That is exactly how the Democrats think. They think they know more about our needs from sitting in their taxpayer-financed luxury offices in Washington D.C. than we know about our needs from living out here in the real world.

The Democrats believe that the average American is stupid. They could care less if Americans are affected by their liberal, socialistic, Unchristian, pro-homosexual agenda. The Democratic party is Fascism revisited.

You should dig deeper in this tangled web. Look at Obama, and find out why he has such a sweetheart deal with Barney Frank. I'll help you out. What two sectors of the population is most affected by AIDS? If you said blacks and homosexuals, you are right. Obama, who has been pressing the ear of that despicable man called Frank, and that's why he wants to loosen the laws regarding homosexuality. Ask questions. I'll help you connect the dots.
