Some fun Rasmussen numbers:

- 53% of Americans oppose Congressional health care reform; 44% favor it
- Most income groups over $40K/year oppose reform
- 78% believe reform will lead to tax hikes
- 70% rate their own health care coverage as good or excellent
- 50% oppose a gov't-backed health care competitor in the market; 35% favor it

These statistics are far more relevant:

Going to the "I'd like to see how you would react" card, eh? That doesn't work.

Obama opened his mouth when he shouldn't have and his true self shone through.

2010 elections will be interesting if Obama is running trillions in deficit spending, has increased taxes, crammed an unpopular govt takeover of healthcare and mired us in a war with no economic rebound in sight. Everyone once in a while Americans need to be reminded of what liberals are all about.

Btw, I'm not uppity like Skip. I am yessir and nosir.

Via Drudge:

Quote:
During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.

“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.

“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

If members of congress have no idea what's in the bill, how the heck is the average American to know what's in the bill?

That's how they're going to shove socialism down our throats, Mike - discourage the masses to find out for themselves what the politicians are doing so Obama and his ilk can destroy the country with little to no opposition.

It is all part of Obama's dastardly plot to destroy America with no opposition. Doesn't anyone but Il Pad see it? It is brilliant. Obama is actually Canadian, and this is how their mounties will finally fulfill their dreams of crossing the border and enslaving us all!

I never said Obama is Canadian.

Take your condescension and shove it.

Obama is Alien-American. He's from a different planet, and his connection to the mothership is Mr. Teleprompter.

I am just trying to understand the diabolical plot you have uncovered for him to destroy this country. I apologize for suggesting something so crazy as the Canadians taking us over! Your diabolical plot is clearly more rational than that. Does it involve the Mexicans taking us over? Of COURSE! That's why you guys always want us to build a wall! Man- you have really thought ahead on this one. I feel like a monkey playing chess with Kasparov. You are at least 12 steps ahead. Curse you Obama!
