I would like to see more of this directed at both sides. I don't think the Dems are exclusive in not listening to their constituents, politicians from both the major parties only speak to the voters during an election, then, they cater to the lobbies and special interest. More people should be outraged and letting their elected officials know it. The more I pay attention, the less faith I have in the current 2 party system.
You can see it online at the various tea parties when supposed conservative politicians tried to speak....they were roundly booed if they had voted for the stimulus.
The Congressman know that these meetings are baing packed by right wing radio and they know these people did not vote for them or even represent the majority of those in the district. They are not dumb. These folks are Republicans and probably mosty tea party folks.
Remember Acorn? It's exactly the same way the "community activist" got elected. It was OK then though, just not now.

Does this prove that Democrat voters couldn't care less? Do these pols really want to take a chance with those suppositions you listed?

But you are over-estimating moderates willingness to 'follow suit' to the hard left agenda.
The healthcare bill being proposed is no way NEAR "left". No way. It is very moderate. Most people on the left wanted a single payer system.
Maybe we should help getting those passed because if they do pass, 2010 will be a major upheaval, benefiting republicans. But that would mean to put party before country, seeing as how if they do pass, it will virtually destroy the America we know and love.
That's why we should do all we can to make sure they fail.

You all seem to find someone or something to put the blame on when people are in disagreement with your policy makers. My neighbors and democratic friends are not "tea party people" but they are fed up, can you possibly understand that? We are tired of big government throwing our tax money away on stupid feel good programs that do little good, even for those the programs are intended. If you are on welfare, recently graduating from a liberal/shove it in your face college then I suppose you will argue in favor for this coming armegedeon. The health care program is not free, we will pay more for it to cover those who can't or won't pay, even illegals. We can barely do this for Americans and we want to add 11 million more people to an impacted system? Do the freaking math, even the government dolts are saying it wont' fly.
