Respecting the Will of Voters

 Referring to the recent mid-term elections as a "repudiation of politicians who refuse to listen to the American people” (meaning Democrats), House Minority Leader John Boehner pledged a GOP House that would respect the will of voters.  He further proclaimed “The people’s priorities will be our priorities, and the people’s agenda will be our agenda.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said before the Heritage Foundation that they must  "listen to the people who sent us here"  and that  "Democrats are ignoring the wishes of the American people."  

Okay. 

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Wednesday revealed that only a third of all Americans think Bush-era tax cuts should be extended for families regardless of how much money they make. 

Forty-nine percent of people questioned in the poll say the tax cuts should be extended for families making less than $250,000 a year, with another 15 percent saying the cuts should not be extended for anyone. That leaves 35 percent who favor an extension of the tax cuts for all Americans regardless of how much money they make.

The poll "also indicates a vast majority of the public is in favor of allowing openly gay people to serve in the U.S. military."

John?  Mitch? Are you listening?
