Nancy Pelosi thinks you are too stupid to know what is in your best interest

Appearing on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Nancy Pelosi told Democratic Representatives to fall on their swords for Obamacare.

VARGAS: What do you say to your members, when it does come to the House to vote on this, who are in real fear of losing their seats in November if they support you now?

PELOSI: Well first of all our members — every one of them — wants health care. I think everybody wants affordable health care for all Americans. They know that this will take courage. It took courage to pass Social Security. It took courage to pass Medicare. And many of the same forces that were at work decades ago are at work again against this bill.

But the American people need it, why are we here? We’re not here just to self perpetuate our service in Congress. We’re here to do the job for the American people. To get them results that gives them not only health security, but economic security, because the health issue is an economic issue for — for America’s families.

“We’re not here just to self perpetuate our service in Congress. We’re here to do the job for the American people.” Interesting. She is claiming that doing the “job for the American people” means thwarting their will.

The implication here, of course, is that the voters don’t know what is in their best interest and that it is the job of congress to give them Obamacare whether they want it or not. She is telling Democratic Representatives to ignore their constituents even if it means their constituents angrily remove them from office. She is telling Democratic Representatives that representation means passing legislation against the will of those they represent. She sees herself as a shepherd tending a flock of foolish animals.
