55% of Americans Want Obamacare Repealed; 52% Will Vote For Pro-Repeal Candidates
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, March 25, 2010, 5:50 AM
So much for an Obamacare bounce… Most Americans want Pelosi’s Christmas Present returned and repealed.
Rasmussen reported:
Just before the House of Representatives passed sweeping health care legislation last Sunday, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.
In terms of Election 2010, 52% say they’d vote for a candidate who favors repeal over one who does not. Forty-one percent (41%) would cast their vote for someone who opposes repeal.
Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly favor repeal while most Democrats are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 59% favor repeal, and 35% are against it.
The corruptocrats were hoping that once the bill was passed that Americans would rally around it.
Think again.

Oops, my rightwing tendencies for violence and hatred are showing again. I think I’ll go water my flowers and give money to my neighbors and make it all right…

How about a more recent poll – like one AFTER the bill was passed, and the media started reporting more factually about what is actually in the bill?
wow commented:
Yeeeess!!!!! Now we all have to work for candidates who are pro-repealing the monstrosity, but at the same time we need to be wary and be certain that they are conservative in all aspects and not just using this to win the election.
Cordell commented:
Wow, even with Rasmussen’s cooked numbers there is only 55% support for repealing the bill. And that’s before any of the benefits have even kicked in yet. Good luck in 2010!
I can see the ads now: “REPEAL HEALTHCARE REFORM, BRING BACK PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS!”

It’s what is a called a ‘bad bounce’. And as the horrors of what is in the bill come out it will just get worse. The jobs losses should be over the top.
Waiting for Heritage to report. Then drip drip drip.
The bad news for Democrats, they always think elections are about money, this time it’s personal, save America from the tyrants and tyranny. Going against the consent of the governed, as King George found out, has serious consequences.

Off Topic
What’s going on with Attorney General, Chris Koster not joining the other states to fight the Death Care Bill? I hear that Jay Nikson and Carnahan has stopped him. Is this true? I also hear some one else is going to file suit. Who?

Pelosi’s Christmas present reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy joke:
A sloaded diaper is like a present from Grandma.
You’re not sure what is in it before you open it but you’re pretty sure you’re not going to like it!
This stinks for the exact same reason

The Dems are done for. Obama is a one termer and the next conservative president will be popular for working to repeal all of Obumbyas failed policies.

And the WH not a bit contrite.
It appears that the WH has vowed not to support any Dems who voted against HCR.
Obama withholding support will actually help the “Conservative” Dems.

I guess we had to pass it first to know what’s in it. Sort of like trusting somebody you don’t know to orchestrate Hope and Change for you.

What this will cost us…Caterpillar has told us what it’ll cost them in one year. A hundred million.
I think it was Krauthammer just the other day who said we should expect the VAT tax to help pay for this montrosity.
They have the VAT in Europe. I just came from a link that offered something for purchase with a VAT of 17.50%.
When more Americans hear the truth, and learn the facts, a 55% opposition will seem insignificant.
Chisum commented:
I received a letter from the Heritage Foundation that outlines the tax increases we can expect when the Bush tax cuts expire.
Please keep in mind that these taxes are in addition to the tax increases we can expect if Cap and Trade and Amnesty are instituted. It also doesn’t reflect the tax increases that will be necessary to make up for the shortfalls in SS, Medicare/Medicaid and servicing the interest on national debt.
$2.4 Trillion: The overall tax increase faced by American families, seniors and businesses if current tax cuts expire.
$1,716: The average tax increase for over 100 million Americans if tax cuts are allowed to expire.
$3,637: The tax hike, on average, that 26 million small business owners will be facing if tax cuts are allowed to expire.
1.5 Million: The number of jobs that could be created by full repeal of the Death Tax.
$91 Billion: The cost of reinstating the Death Tax.
$19.6 Billion: The amount spent in 2009 by Congress on frivolous “pork” projects that use taxpayer funds to reward local special interests and pressure groups.
44 Million: The number of married couples affected by the Marriage Penalty before it was reduced by President George W. Bush. These families will be hit hard once again if the Marriage Penalty is reinstated.
$1,480: The average cost in 2000 for couples punished by the Marriage Penalty.
Be prepared for what is coming down the road and adjust accordingly. The government is not being honest with you in regard to the impact that this upcoming legislation will have upon you, your family and on business.
Andreas K. commented:
As I said. Obama stopped the political drama about “Obamacare”. Yep, he did. But he also started the real war over it.
So much for “post-racial”, “smart power” and “healing the world”.
I have yet to see a more controversial US president.
Neo commented:
“So now we have the historical procession: the New Deal, the Square Deal, and the “Big F**n Deal.”

Just to correct #14 — that’ll cost Caterpillar $100million in one quarter not one year…
Chisum commented:
Neo,
Good one!
Benjey commented:
Thought running through my mind today was wondering if we would have not relived the era of the revolution which side to you think Obama would have been. I cannot see him rallying the country to oppose the British. However, I could him and his crony’s as loyalists. Personally I think this question could help some get clarity were we are as a nation and what our vote should be for the upcoming election.

This will make blood shoot out of your eyes. The productive class is facing a huge increase in taxes.
Now who do you think is going to pay the huge freaking debt that Ovomit and the Democraps have saddled us with? The 50% that don’t pay any taxes? Guess again.
The producers will pay. Time for a little “Atlas Shrugged”.
Espresso Logic - The 6th Sense commented:
“A Verizon spokesman said the company is merely addressing employee questions about ObamaCare, not making a political statement. But these and many other changes were enabled by the support of the Business Roundtable that counts Verizon as a member. Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg’s health-reform ideas are 180 degrees from Mr. Obama’s, but Verizon’s shareholders and 900,000 employees and retirees will still pay the price.
Businesses around the country are making the same calculations as Verizon and no doubt sending out similar messages. It’s only a small measure of the destruction that will be churned out by the rewrite of health, tax, labor and welfare laws that is ObamaCare, and only the vanguard of much worse to come.”
From Drudge Report today. Thanks you Ovomit and the Democraps. You will get your reward in Novmber.

Ok. Here is one from 23rd-24th, after the bill.
A proposal has been made to repeal the health care bill and stop it from going into effect. Do you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to repeal the health care bill?
55% Favor, 42% Oppose
In this November’s congressional election, suppose you have a choice between one candidate who wants to repeal the health care plan and another candidate who opposes repeal. Which candidate would you support – the one who wants to repeal the plan or the one who opposes repeal?
52% Favors repeal, 41% Opposes repeal
The democrats are finished. They are like suicide bombers who killed them selves for Prophet Obama (P BO H).
P.S. John. I dont think you want the left wing media to actually report on whats in the bill. If they quit shilling for Ogabe and reproted on the death panels. increased deficit etc the dem numbers would be way worse.

Agreed, people like Cordell just can’t help themselves. That’s why they need big government, to show them the light and lead them by the hand to their utopia while serving up that oh so good kool-aid. I would say to Cordell – NO – good luck to you in 2010 after your party gets buried. Who’s going to provide your kool-aid then?
I see the Marxist-In-Chief is out again in campaign mode trying to sell this POS bill. It didn’t work 50+ times before so what makes this Socialist think it will be any different now.
I have an idea for you man-child, why don’t you let ANYONE attend your BS session instead of “invitation only” crowds you surround yourself with. Oh that’s right, it wouldn’t look good on camera when you get burried alive and can only studder and spin your deceit and lies instead of your utopia of “change we can beleive in”.
And you just have to love the “one party” rule in Washington now. Every amendment presented by the Republicans to the “New and Improved” portion of the bill now in the Senate has been shot down. What a great bill, has to be improved on immediately after the original bill was passed.

deathstar commented:
It gets worse for the liberals, even the lefty pollsters at CBS show that more people want ObamaCare repealed now than right after the reconciliation charade.
“The poll finds that 62 percent want Congressional Republicans to keep challenging the bill, while 33 percent say they should not do so. Nearly nine in ten Republicans and two in three independents want the GOP to keep challenging. Even 41 percent of Democrats support continued challenges. ”
The democrats will be out of power for a generation.
Warthog commented:
Just remember kids, this is just on the few revelations that the news media have been forced to make. What happens when the truly rotten hidden pustulence that you *know* is in there starts to leak out? The Democrats will be lucky if they aren’t hunted with hounds by years end.
(Bet that they’ll double down with Cap & Tax and Amnesty …)

Repeal the Democrats
[To make up for not being able to expropriate health-care cash until 2018 from the remnants of the old industrial unions, the Democrats conjured a 3.8% "Medicare tax" on higher-bracket investment income. Democrats and Mr. Obama defended the investment taxes as "fair-share" social justice. Much of Wall Street has been notable for its private philanthropy across an array of liberal and cultural causes, but now "giving back" means a pipeline hooked straight into the federal budget. Congressional staff will decide who gets what.
Liberals in the private sector have to come to grips with the fact that what they do for a living is an abstraction to the people they are sending to Washington. Nobody at the top of the party is much interested in them anymore. House and Senate Democrats hammered insurance, pharma and medical-device makers with taxes and intimidation. It wasn't just politics. It was belief. With this bill, the party made the transition from market unionism to Alinskyism, from a politics tempered by the marketplace to one that milks the marketplace.]

It was here in May 2007 that President Obama promised his health-care plan would lower premiums by up to $2,500. But now the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) warns that premiums in the individual market will actually rise by as much as $2,100 under the law he signed this week.
Well, that’ll do for the “trouble right here” in River City and the con man who’s peddling his big plan to them. He’ll be moving on long before the residents have to play on the shabby instruments he’s selling.

*sigh* it’s been so obvious for so many years that “electoral
systems” are as broken as the governments they produce..
i don’t believe there’s been one election that wasn’t corrupted.. what we need to do is find a way to stop corrupt elections, like a set dollar allotment for each candidate to run on (no more, no less), mandatory transparency, and confirmation of candidates “qualifications” aka: background checks..
if money is the root of all evil, then what more proof do we need
that our elected officials have become disciples of the devil..

Jesse Jr.’s ‘Kinsley Gaffe’ Moment: Obamacare means Cuts in Other Social Programs
Let me be clear: There’s probably going to have to be a significant reform of other social programs as the Federal Government assumes more responsibility for health care for the nation’s people, there are other social programs that are probably going to undermine some elements of social cohesion, there’s no doubt about that.

sarc on/
oh sure, picky picky.. but they didn’t forget to TAX medical
devices for these children, our troops & the elderly, humph!!
[Section 9009 of the recently passed health care bill imposes a new tax
on assistive devices which includes items like pacemakers, ventilators, prosthetics, and incubators for premature babies. The reconciliation bill currently being debated does nothing to rid the underlying bill of this tax, but actually expands it to include more medical devices, such as tongue depressors, elastic bandages, most hand-held dental instruments, and examination gloves. The Inhofe amendment will strike these new taxes
on assistive devices for children and individuals with disabilities from the health care bill.]
/sarc off
fyi, the Inhofe amendment was killed by the DemocRats..
[A motion to table is a motion which can be brought up in a meeting which is following the parliamentary procedure to “table” or retire the topic under discussion without further debate. Essentially, the motion defeats the topic under discussion, since it cannot be brought up again, and the motion itself is not open to debate. Some people feel that using the motion to table is a bit of a cheap trick used to deflect discussion about important issues, and that it is often unfair to the minority.]
btw: i believe all 23 Rep amendments were tabled.. so much for the
promise of “reconciliation”, Obama lied, the Dems lied, and for all
we know the Reps lied too..
ps: Obama is trying to blame the angst against his HC bill on the Republicans for talking “repeal”, once again ignoring the voice of “we the people” & making it his political tool to battle the Reps in the next election (if you can call them that anymore, imo, the 2008 election was more of a Selection, including the choosing of McCain to run against Obama)..

Tuesday, the USA Today/Gallup poll showed that opinion had flipped and that, by 49 percent to 40 percent, those polled said it was “a good thing” that health care passed.
