Pelosi's Suicide Voters

Last week, Nancy Pelosi made it clear that the house needs to pass the Senate's healthcare bill regardless of the consequences come November. She basically said that they need to pass the bill because it's what Americans need - regardless of the fact that the majority does not WANT it.

This brings up an interesting analogy.

There is another group of people that take harmful actions because of a cause. They do not consider the harm to themselves or others - the cause is king. These are usually educated, intelligent people. Almost always, they inflict this damage to accomplish a political goal.

What group is it? Suicide bombers.

I submit that there is very little difference between the mentality of suicide bombers, and Nancy Pelosi's congressional democrats. She is telling them to choose the cause (government take-over of health care) over their voters and their jobs. She tells them to ignore the consequences of their vote, because the cause is king. It's debatable, but these house democrats are likely well-educated and slightly intelligent. And going down in flames to pass the Senate health care bill is inflicting damage on Americans - all for a political agenda.

While researching the profile of suicide bombers, I came across this article. The author ends the article with this:

I am convinced that terrorists are very shrewd politicians with very clear agendas,” said Pedahzur. “The question we must then consider is how do we minimize their followers and support?”

Make no mistake - this administration is full of very shrewd politicians, and Pelosi is carrying out a very clear agenda. The question is whether the house democrats will choose to be suicide voters, or hold themselves accountable to the American voters that put them in their position.

Of course, we can't ignore the big picture question. What do we do to minimize the support of the democratic party? They may be digging their own graves with this health care take-over, but the most effective thing we can do right now is look for a CONSERVATIVE leader that can effectively take on Obama in 2012. It's great that the democrats are floundering while in power, but it's pointless if we don't have someone to straighten things out when the American people kick Obama and his cronies out of office.


For now, we'll simply watch and see if the suicide voters strike.
