Reviewing the big votes of the year in Congress, we find:
The Stimulus bill. The majority of the American people opposed it, the Democrats passed it (with no Republican votes).
The Waxman/Markey Cap-and-Trade bill. The majority of the people opposed it, the Democrats passed it (with only 8 Republican votes in the "yes" total of 219).
The Pelosi Health Care Hostile Takeover passed yesterday. The majority of the people opposed it (some quite vociferously), the Democrats passed it (with perhaps one Republican voting for it).
The Democrats still insist that they are the majority party, meaning that they represent the interests of the majority of the American people, despite the increasingly obvious fact that they actually have disdain for the American people. They are trying to keep their idea implanted in the public mind.
Students of history remember a party in another country naming themselves the majority party to convey the false impression that they were the majority in their country. Since their country was Russia, they used the Russian word.
Bolshevik.
