“It’s time for Republicans to mature,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says in a new tweet. For good measure, the graphic his office has put together even spells out “Grow Up” in building blocks. It’s a cute idea, but we have to take issue with Reid’s idea that “it’s time to move on” is the message to take from what Americans are saying loudly and clearly.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released just this week, for example, shows that one-third of Americans who already have health insurance believe they’ll be worse off under Obamacare, while among the uninsured, 76 percent said they don’t understand the law and how it affects them.
But if polls aren’t Harry Reid’s thing, the American people did speak loudly and clearly on Obamacare on Sept. 12, 2009, and it looked like this.

@SenatorReid You should check the polls. The majority of Americans do not want it nor should they be forced to have it! #ConstitutionDay

Will you people just shut up? How will you be able to hear all the Americans cheering loudly and clearly in favor of Obamacare if you don’t shut up and let them speak?
@SenatorReid No Americans were not allowed to speak on this until AFTER the democrats rammed it down our throats.

@SenatorReid We spoke alright but you have failed to listen and continue to push your own agenda.

@SenatorReid It is not funny when so many people are straggling to pay bills, can't find jobs & their health care premium tripled bc of ACA.

@SenatorReid Majority of Americans opposed it and we didn't get to vote on it. At least you're exempt from the law of the land, right?
