THE best moment of almost every YouTube video of the raucous town-hall meetings on health care is the same: It's the nonplussed look on the face of the senators and congressmen who have rarely suffered such indignity.
Be assured: No one talks to them that way in the "members only" elevators in the US Capitol.
Nancy Pelosi and Co. insist that the town-hall protesters are the tools of special interests. Not likely. Almost all of the special interests have been enticed or bullied into cooperating with ObamaCare.
President Obama and the Democrats may still imagine themselves insurgents storming the gates, but that self-image should have expired last November. On health care, they have played a brilliant inside game.
They have used their sheer power to cut deals with craven lobbyists seeking to limit damage to their clients. Everything was set for a cram-down of sweeping legislation -- with special interests uttering hardly a peep -- before August in a well-executed power play.
Then, public opinion intervened.
Obama is now on the wrong side of a genuine grass-roots revolt by people who feel ignored by everyone who is supposed to be representing them. Consider the AARP.
It has all but endorsed a plan to slash several hundred billion dollars over 10 years from Medicare. It is providing cover for the creation of a new system that, if it ever succeeds in "bending the cost curve," will have to scrimp on expensive end-of-life care.
The AARP is overwhelmingly favorable to a plan opposed by the elderly more than any other age group. Who is the more authentic voice of seniors -- the AARP playing along with its Democratic allies, or the elderly at town-hall meetings wondering what the Medicare cuts will mean for them?

Let us pray that the fooled will not be fooled again and although we all have different ideas of what America should be, let us make sure together that the free flow of ideas and speech is never inhibited.
I would love it if all these career criminals known as members of congress were voted out of office. They would still rake in millions through their influence, graft, corruption, lobbying, book writing and speech giving, but they wouldn’t be able to directly destroy the country with their lawmaking.
The sinking of the Titanic is now an appropriate allegory for the rat party ship. It’s struck the iceburg, is taking on water and the DC band plays on. Lame duck obuma and his putrid rat party lords and ladies will be first on the lifeboats, but their symbol of power - the ship and crew - is heading down to Davey Jones locker.
Didn’t think it would happen this fast.

I am the cost curve.
For one brief, shining moment,
We made life better.
That is all gone now.
The eight years of Obama
Put an end to it.
Take a number.
Hospitals are where you die.
Nobody gets well.
Did we save money?
It all went down the rat hole,
And taxes went up.
Now life is savage,
Health Police make it brutish,
But, most of all, short.
Looks like Lowry has possibly finally gotten the message from us out here?
Remember Swift Boats?
A few men with a few bucks
Changed everything.
Once in a great while
A small number of people
Can move a nation.
These are the days that,
When we’e old, tired and grey,
We will look back on.
When we all stood fast,
And put ourselves to the task,
And saved the Country!
The best soundbite yet was from McCaskill -
“you don’t trust me?”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
