Why Do Democrats Ignore Voters? Why Do Dems Hate Voters?

Two stories, one from Oregon and the other from New Jersey, show us the Dems don't care about the voters. They believe in forcing legislation and tax increases down our throats, and will continue to do so until we either submit or they get enough seats on the Supreme Court and the other two branches of Government to create their socialist dictatorship.
First, it appears people in Oregon did not want a pile of miniSCHIP. They voted down a state version of increasing cigarette taxes to fund a wide ranging insurance program with the supposed purpose of helping poor kids:

"One of the biggest disappointments in Tuesday's election was the defeat of an Oregon ballot initiative that would have raised the state's cigarette tax by 85 cents a pack to help pay for health care for uninsured children. The outcome is a testament, more than anything else, to the shamelessness of the nation's big tobacco companies

As usual, the New York Times is wrong. This is about not wanting Hillarycare and realizing this program for what it was. Libs in Oregon were hoping this would be the bellwether to show the rest of America that bullSCHIP is really wanted by most people, that the bloated ridiculous version beat down before is what people want. This vote was 60-40. It flies in the face of what the Dems thought. Therefore, the Dems have been trumped again by the voters, and they hate it. They hate it very much. But just because voters turn it down, doesn't mean they won't try to bring it back again...and again...and again....The Wall Street Journal has a great take on this here

And then we have the People's Republic of New Jersey. There, a stem cell funding bill went down in flames. But, the people obviously are too stupid to understand what they did, right Gov. Corzine? That is what Dems, along with some Republican Rock stars, think about the people--that they are stupid, they don't know anything. Again, the propaganda arm of the American Socialist Party, er, I mean the Democrats, the New York Times, has the story:

Stung and puzzled by the defeat of a ballot initiative to borrow $450 million for stem cell research, leading Democrats in New Jersey struggled on Wednesday to explain why they were repudiated by voters and how they planned to finance the biomedical research for a center already under construction.

They were so confident they were already building it. How arrogant....how typically democrat....

On Wednesday, Mr. Corzine, Senate President Richard J. Codey and other supporters of stem cell research said they had little choice but to ask the state's pharmaceutical companies to help finance the effort and then try to squeeze money from a budget that is already facing a $3 billion shortfall."

They are going with their hand out to Big Pharma, who they bash all the time....
And Mr. Corzine has said he is going to bring the issue back up again, because he feels voters did not understand what they were doing. Does this bringing back the issue involve reeducation John, ala Vietnam and Cambodia in the 1970s?
