55% Favor Repeal of ObamaCare

55% Favor Repeal of Health Care Bill
Rsmussen ^ | March 25, 2010 | Rasmussen


Posted on Saturday, March 27, 2010 10:23:10 AM by SmokingJoe

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 Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.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.

Most senior citizens (59%) also favor repeal. Earlier, voters over 65 had been more opposed to the health care plan than younger adults. Seniors use the health care system more than anyone else.

anyone think a repeal could really happen?

It sounds good to the base to say it now... but it'll be too far entrenched by then to remove.  Unless they had an ALTERNATIVE PLAN which kept all the good things.  But I think their wording would be "let's just end Obama's plan, then we'll figure it out".  I don't think that would fly.

If they dont get it done on the next few years, it probably wont. 

However, when you read that all these companies are now going to lay more people off because of this garbage, people are going to wake up. 

240 - I think that these companies should find out who voted for obama and lay them off first.

yeah, but repubs are curerntly running on the negative.... still.

it's not, "let's replace Pelosi with candidate X, who could do a better job!"

it's simply, "Let's Fire Pelosi - give us your money to do it!"

in light of the fact it was 2 weeks ago we learned official party criteria for donations was "get people scared and mad then ask them for money", it's a little weird they're so "up front" with demand for cash.  Toss in the fact they aren't selling a BETTER SOLUTION to Pelosi, and it's no surprise they're losing momentum in the polls for healthcare support.

So tell Steele to stay home.  Get Paul Ryan on the tv instead.  His message should be "Don't send the GOP your money - Save your money for your family's healthcare.  instead, we want you to GET UP and go your local Repub party HQ, and pick up signs and learn how YOU can help to beat every dem in 2010".

Obama sold his magic beans to america by being positive in this otherwise negative era.  Why can't Repubs do the same?  The cash would still roll in - but a pissed off, motivated voter willing to hand out literature to his friends and put up signs is WAY more effective than a guy giving $5 so Mike Steele can hold another fake convention/vacation in hawaii ;)

Repeal is basically impossible without a Repub in the White House (Republican John Cornyn said as much last week) but that won't stop the Repubs from trying to use it a point to raise money.  Basically they know it's a lie but it's a lie that is usable to separate potential donors from their money so they will run with it

Our pending collapse will repeal this nonsense as well as doctors leaving the system. 

AZ alone said this is going to cost them 4 Billion in the next 4 years and they are already broke. 

This is a ponzi scheme worse than SS or Medicare.

Neither the president nor the Democrats in Congress care about what the majority of the country thinks.

Steele is a fool.  I like Ryan, Rubio, Pence, Paul etc, but it really doesnt matter anymore.  

The parasites, leeches, and greedy pigs looking to loot the treasury are now the majority and will never vote for less govt.

240 - its over, we have passed the tipping point, Obama knows it, I know it, you know it, and the only thing left to do is tell the last man left to turn the lights out.  

We are now in a cult of personality where reality, facts, history, economics, history, basic math, dont matter.  All that matters are the following:

1.  That the communist in the WH gives a stupid speech that trumps his actions.  

2.  Getting as many people as quickly as possible dependent on the govt.  

3.  Justifying every reckless policy with some nonsense spin or bogus justification.  Shit, you are the king of that.  

4.  Results dont matter, only intentions do.  The stim bill is a perfect example of that and you are going to have to admitt to that collosal failure in only a few months.  Again, we had the arguments, I laid it out very clearly from day 1 and who was right on that?  Straw argued condoms was a good use of the money, you jizzed your pants about 4 million new jobs, KC thought it was great as did the other morons on this board.  Did you read my thread that UE is still going up in at least 27 states?  

5.  We are not honest about the true state of our fiscal situation.  Straw argues thatt he post office is doing great, KC argued that medicare and SS are not broke, etc.  We have people still begging for the equivalent of adding more chairs and weight to the titanic.  Both parties do it, but ut us far worse thabn ever.  Obama is pushing policies that mimic GWB and the kneepadders cheer on the same shit they protested not only 2 years ago.  No matter how much evidence is put forth on certain topics, people wont even acknowledge reality.  Its like the twilight zone.  

6.  Demographics are going to destroy this country.  The most unproductive people in this country are popping out the most kids and costing the productive people a criminal level of ataxtion.  We have no way to pay for the promises made by the govt.  The fewer and fewer taxpayers left are being asked to keep funding these leeches of society and at some point, probably much sooner than you or anyone realizes it, the whole system is going to collapse.  

7.  As a population we are completey ignorant of the constitution and really dont give a rats ass about anything as it pertains to that.  Personal mandate in the constitution?  Most people are too stupid to understand the insanity of that.  Exploding levels of govt, taxes, regulation?  Most people dont give a fuck anymore because they are looking for handout.  

8.  As a population we are flat out unhealthy and disgusting.  Just go to any mall or public gathering and look at the average person.  Are these the types of hardy and strong people that founded the nation, fought wars, built factories etc?  NO!  These are the lazy pigs who empower the govt to steal from people like me to keep their free flow of free shit going rather than having some pride and doing something for themselves.  


In the age of MAOBAMA - its now " Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you"

If there is an entitlement that can be repealed it is this one. Unlike medicaire and medicaid, this law will not positively affect a lot of people. It is bad politics to jack up insurance premiums for almost 250 million people in order to insure 45 million people.

The benefits dont start kicking in for another 4 years, and a lot of the bad and unpopular stuff like taxes happens right away.
Jan. Jobs: 36,000!!

Correct.  Also, the repubs in congress don't give a shit either.  ALL OF THEM just care about getting re-elected.  IF they had cared about the country, constitution, and constituents, they wouldn't have just fallen in party line for the last 8 years when their guy was in charge (just as the dems are now).

They're alll scumbags.  Most of them don't give a shit about anything but staying in power and party allegience.

WRONG!!!Obama doesnt give a flying fuck about re-elections.He cares about doing as much damage to the country as possible while he can.
