Today, Nancy Pelosi went on another one of her patented tirades, this time caterwauling about the evil insurance companies.

“It’s almost immoral what they are doing,” Pelosi said of the insurance providers. “Of course they’ve been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure.  They are the villains. They have been part of the problem in a major way. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening.”

On July 22, a Rasumussen poll that showed that 53% of U.S. Voters are opposed to a government run health care system, while only 44% favor it. 

Factor in the undecideds and you’re left with about 45% who would just as soon leave things the way they are.  That leaves Nancy with the unpleasant fact that leaving the system in the hands of the nation’s insurance companies has a higher approval rating than Senator Pelosi herself, who languishes down at 35%.

Just keep yelling, Nancy.  I think it’s working.
