"What the American People Want"

In reference to the Health Insurance Reform bill currently being debated (watch on C-SPAN.org), the Republicans consistently say "This is not what the American People Want".

It's a nonsense statement. I'm part of the American People and I DO want it.

1. It implies that if a person does want the Health Care Reform bill to pass they must not be American.

2. It implies that every American thinks one way. If that were the case, we wouldn't have all this partisanship. And, by the way - if that were the case, how do the Republicans think the Democrats got elected?

I'm frustrated that frivolous statements continue to be used because they work.

I wish the American people would pay a bit more attention and not let fear cloud their judgment. If that were the case, these 'marketing' ploys wouldn't work.
