Just as those of the we the people who disagree with the health care reform are interpreted to be unruly and a mob.
I was talking about Nancy Pelosi's direction that there will not be a bill that goes to the floor without a public option. Not what the will of the people direct....but what SHE said it will be. That is not democracy I don't care how it is moulded.

It appears that you may not be able to see the forest for the trees. Nancy Pelosi is an elected congress person from California. She was then elected to be the Speaker of the House by the Congress in which she serves. Most if in all of the members of Congress were elected by the people. The House has passed a bill that includes the public option but the proposed bill in the Senate does not. If the Senate passes the bill, which again will be voted on by elected Senators, one from Colorado appointed and maybe one appointed from MA, then the two bills will have to be reconciled and voted on again. At that point it has to be signed by the President who was elected by a vote of the people. All of this was explained to me in History or Government class in school. This is how the government has functioned for more than 200 years.
It is NOT about Pelosi...it is NOT socialism and it is NOT fascism...it is democracy in action.
