Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) claimed Wednesday that Senate Democrats' view passing health care reform legislation more as a chance to make history than create good policy.
"They’re left with the following argument, 'make history," said McConnell. “As we all know many things have happened in history some of them have not been good at all. This is the wrong kind of history.”
Armed with newspaper clippings, McConnell referenced recent polls showing that Democrats have lost public support on health care reform.
“Their problem isn’t the 40 of us, it’s the American people,” said the Minority Leader.

It isn't the American people's responsibility to assure the Democrats a place in history for creating policy disasters! Even worse than losing support, the Democrats and this administration has lost the good will of those who trusted them to be listening and representing them. Who is supposed to be serving who!
