[A]ccording to polling by CNN, registered voters oppose Obamacare by a margin of 10 points — 52 to 42 percent. Independents like Obamacare even less, opposing it by a margin of 22 points — 57 to 35 percent. Clearly, voters didn’t think they were ratifying Obamacare when they pulled the lever for Obama.
Yet they did exactly that. Everyone who voted for Barack Obama affirmatively ratified ObamaCare. Many of them voted to keep themselves unemployed. Many of them voted to have their employers halt their company insurance plan.
That’s what they did.
You want to know what I find morbidly amusing? Sen. Harry Reid was out there today arguing that a majority of the American people want tax hikes on the rich.
A majority opposes ObamaCare, and opposed it when it was passed and became law.
How about the GOP offer Senator Cowboy Poetry a trade?
You get your stupid tax hikes on “the rich,” but only if ObamaCare is destroyed.
I bet not a few of the “rich” would take that trade.
Did the poll include any of the 100% of voters in the 59 PA precincts that voted for Obama? Or any of the 141% of voter rolls in Florida?
But even at that, there’s a lot of stupid people out there that voted Obama without thinking bout the consequences.
Such as these.
Not an isolated incident at all.
Wait until the non-compliance fines and the death panels start up. Then you will hear wailing.
But some will still vote Democrat…
The majority of the people didn’t elect Obama. The majority of the ballots did. That seems to be a distinction that is lost on most people, including all the talking heads.
Kinda makes me wonder about the validity of the outcome of the Nov.6 election. How ’bout you?
Until we have a secure voting system, it will be impossible to get our Republic back.
– it to ‘em good and hard.
“How about the GOP offer Senator Cowboy Poetry a trade? You get your stupid tax hikes on “the rich,” but only if ObamaCare is destroyed.”
DREAM ON, with the House Benedict Arnold Boehner in charge, already removing the honest Tea Party budget Hawks form the Budget Committee.
ObamaCare was not an issue in the election. Of course, one couldn’t really expect the Grandfather of ObamaCare to point out that it will ultimately destroy the economy.
Besides, the general election was about Big Issues and something so trivial as a precursor to nationalized health care, which will touch every citizen and impact every aspect of daily life, just doesn’t make the cut. Romney had to prioritize and campaign on the Important Issues of The Day!
Bryan, this story merely underscores how completely worthless polls are. Next case…
What was that phrase? Oh yeah, “elections have consequences”.
So, since so many of the high earners in the blue states voted for Oblahblah, they should get EVERYTHING they voted for. I just wish it could go double for idiots like Susan Estrich.
They bought the ticket. Hop on board for the ride, suckers!
