Standard current Democrat policy: lie about what you're doing

and lie about your justification:
...What does the Constitution say? To provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.”
Someone must have pointed out that the word 'health appears nowhere in that document. So they went to
James O’Connor, Burris’s communications director, later told CNSNews.com that although the word “health” does not appear anywhere in the Constitution, the senator was referring to the Preamble of the Constitution…
Uh, no. Here's the preamble:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I'm guessing they're claiming that 'general Welfare' translates to "We have the power to order you to get what insurance we decide on, and fine and tax the life out of you if you don't." At least under their 'living document' bullcrap. I'd guess that's what Pelosi meant when someone asked her where Congress got the authority to mandate insurance and she got that shocked look on her face(maybe the only one it can show anymore) and said "Are you serious?" Twice.
