Rockefeller: is Congress in touch with the citizenry?
Democrat Senator John D. Rockefeller yesterday on the direction of his party:
"The question is, do people think we're tending to the things they care about?" said Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) as he left a meeting of Senate leaders. He said there was palpable concern among his colleagues Wednesday that the main agenda items Democrats are pursuing -- health care and climate change -- resonate very little with voters focused on finding or keeping jobs.
"Don't think people in my state are going to stand up and start cheering about Copenhagen," Rockefeller said, referring to the European city that will host a summit on global warming next month. Critics of the climate-change legislation before Congress say it would be a job-killer in states dependent on manufacturing and natural resources.
Maybe they're starting to get it? Maybe the election results put the fear of God - well, if not God, at least voters- in them?
See Washington Post: For parties, the soul searching begins.
Of course, for Pelosi & Co, it the transfer of power in 2 states from Democrat to Republican means full steam ahead for her. You can see from their rigidity and obsessive thought system who the real ideologues are. And Obama is king.

I would definitely have to say they are NOT in touch with the country at the grass roots level.
