Stop Telling Me What The American People Want

I think I have said this before, but can we please stop having politicians and pundits telling us what the "American people" want? This is a large country with opinions as varied as the people in it. The current example used most often is the conservative statement that the "American people" don't want the Democratic health plan. Well, I'm part of the "American people" and I want the plan. So from now on, I demand that anyone claiming the knowledge that the "American people" don't want the Democratic health care plan say instead that they only have knowledge of what the "American people except for Peter Nessen" want.

Wait. You're allowed to decide for yourself what you want? When did that happen?
