When Disrespecting the People is Worth it

Galling disrespect for the electorate is the only explanation for the absurd twists of facts and phrases coming from the Democrats

With countless examples of the media ignoring news that might damage Democrats, it seems this practice has bred a sense of security among the party's leaders. They even appear emboldened by their media allies as they get closer than ever to something they've craved for decades: complete control of the health care industry.

To wit, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her band of Pelosheviks are compelled to tell us that things are not what we know they are.

Last week, Pelosi said with a straight face (I've been waiting to use that line) that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts next year will not be a tax increase, but rather the "eliminating a tax decrease that was there."

[Because they know that once they've that lever over the American people, their permanent majority is inevitable over time. Its never had anything to do with health care - or congress, which controls the eligibility criteria for Medicare, would make everyone eligible overnight.

But Medicare participation is voluntary, so that just won't do.]
