Politicians - "Democrats Whistling Past Graveyard"
This article discusses our elected officials complete disregard (and disrespect?) for the opinion of American citizens.
Sadly, I think there must be a lot of money behind their seemingly illogical voting records.
Hopefully, the next election cycle will let them know who their boss is...

Mona Charen writes about it at Townhall.com:
" But the Democratic Party is not listening to actual voters any more than it is heeding a string of polls showing declining support for a health care overhaul and for politicians who push it. A new Quinnipiac poll finds that 52 percent of respondents oppose the health care reform under consideration in Congress, while only 38 percent support it. The same poll found that only 38 percent approve of the way President Obama is handling the issue, while 56 percent disapprove. Graveyard? What graveyard?
The Quinnipiac poll found the lowest overall approval rating yet for President Obama at 46 percent. Other results are similar. The RealClearPolitics average shows the president's approval rating at 48.6 -- down from 62 percent in June. Gallup found that 49 percent of voters would advise their representative to vote against health care reform while 44 percent would counsel voting in favor. Rasmussen's survey found that only 41 percent favor the bill. "
