A Revitalized Electorate

The liberal media would have us believe that now that “health care reform” has been approved by Congress by the narrowest of margins, despite overwhelming public opposition, that it is now part of the fabric of American life and already enjoys broad public support.
I do not know to whom these journalists are talking, but it is not the hundreds of people—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike—I have met in the last week. These voters are not prepared to simply shrug their shoulders and forget about this multi-trillion dollar calamity as if a government takeover of health care were of no more significance than the defeat of a favored team in the NCAA tournament.
They want to see this terrible bill repealed, and so do I.
I was the first candidate in this race to pledge to work for the repeal of ObamaCare. If I am elected, that will be my first priority. Jason Altmire may have been allowed to cast a “no” vote on this bill by Nancy Pelosi, but no one has suggested that he will lift a finger to roll back this monstrosity. Nor can any sensible person imagine that my primary opponent, a career federal employee and no stranger to the expansion of federal power, is really going to work as a matter of principle to eliminate this trillion-dollar boondoggle.
I am heartened by what I have heard in the last few days: if we work hard to elect principled conservatives in November, we can undo a wrong-headed and potentially calamitous piece of legislation.
