Oh my: Public opposes second stimulus this year by two-to-one margin

It seems like just yesterday that I was wondering if The One had miscalculated by expecting a bailout-weary public to support more than one gargantuan stimulus bill. Oh right — it was yesterday.

Remember to emphasize confidence when you’re pitching this next one, Nancy.

Just 27% of voters nationwide favor passage of a second economic stimulus package. The latest Rasmussen Reports nationwide telephone survey found that 55% are opposed and 19% are not sure.

Despite the public opposition, 74% say it’s likely that Congress will try to pass another stimulus plan before the year is out. That figure includes 45% who say it’s Very Likely that Congress will do so…

Forty-three percent (43%) of Democrats favor a second stimulus package while 32% are opposed. Republicans oppose the concept by an 8-to-1 margin. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 59% are opposed to a second stimulus plan while 23% are in favor of it.

Well Americans are figuring out that the first stimulus won’t.

Where was this 55% when Obama was elected? Ignorance will provide no escape from the judgment of God that is now falling on America. Make no mistake about it! God has prepared the unholy trinity of Obama, Pelosi, & Reed as instruments of judgment. They will now lead the nation into economic captivity. I see a great revival coming to the church in the midst of this great calamity that is befalling America.

Obama you’ve already taken all of my money this year, must you take the next five years’ worth of my income as well?

No need for a separate stimulus... Pelosi and Co are planning to amend Obama’s 2010 budget to include the second stimulus package, and tons of earmarks and pork projects.

I make sure that those who regret their vote for 0bama know that

they deserve no less antipathy than those who voted for him BECAUSE he’s a Marxist,

because the information was availably and was willfully ignored.

Why not? As long as everyone just keeps willingly handing it over? They may be stupid, but not that stupid.

let’s hope that people will wise up to what Obama is going to do to them via taxes. Hopefully they will.
