RSSThe Downward Spiral Of Support For Government Health Care
J.J. Jackson | July 18, 2009
Liberals are over a barrel. They have to pass universal health care (really universal health insurance since health care is already “universal” to anyone not too lazy to get it) in order to not look impotent. With the “stimulus” failing, TARP a fiasco, Cap and Trade facing serious challenges in the Senate, Obama’s favorability dropping as the economy has not turned around as quickly as his followers had been promised, much of their hope for more power rests on the passage of such a plan. A failure to do so would doom many members of Congress to having to find new work come next year and possibly spell doom for Obama in 2012.
However, while passing such a plan would please the left, much of America would not be happy according to a recent poll by Rasmussen which states that support for such a plan is dropping like a stone in a lake.
Just 35% of U.S. voters now support the creation of a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurers.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 50% of voters oppose setting up a government health insurance company as President Obama and congressional Democrats are now proposing in their health care reform plan. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.
In mid-June, 41% of American adults thought setting up a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurance companies was a good idea, but the identical number (41%) disagreed.
35% is not a lot. But it is typical for support of what much of the left has been trying to ram through while they have power including majorities in both houses of Congress and control of the White House. However, like I said in the open, they are over a barrel. If they appease their base, they alienate much of America.
Damned if they do and damned if they don’t it seems.

That is GREAT! The more time it takes, the more people will realize what the liberal, leftist, marxist slime are trying to shove down our throats.There is nothing more filthy,than a liberal.
If our government leaders think Americans will allow themselves to be blinded by the glitter of a person’s popularity too think we will not question the long term affects this cap and trade will have
is simple minded tolerance on their part.
Most of us not sheep, we might take our time to
study what the countries leaders are doing but we are watching… WE DO HAVE MINDS OF OUR-OWN.
