Losing sight of reality

The House Democrats under Nancy Pelosi are moving toward a vote on their health care bill tomorrow.

John Fund has some comments:

More than a few Democrats in Congress are perplexed and worried that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is insisting on ramming through a 1,900-page health care bill on Saturday, just days after her party took heavy losses in Tuesday's elections. "It reminds me of Major Nicholson, the obsessed British major in the film 'Bridge on the River Kwai,'" one Democrat told me. "She is fixated on finishing her health care bridge even as she's lost sight of where it's going and what damage it could cause to her own troops."

"Like Major Nicholson on the River Kwai, they may wake up to find they built a monument to a set of presumptions that were really a form of madness."

By the way she also violated her pledge to post the bill online 72 hours before the vote.

I can't think of anything else to say now except, bring it on, Nancy!
