Latest Poll Shows Health Care Outrage is REAL!

The only thing that is being "manufactured" or "ginned up" is the phony Democrat charges against real Americans!

Scrap Health Care Reform If It Adds To Deficit, U.S. Voters Tell Quinnipiac University National Poll; Voters Disapprove Of Obama's Handling Of Health Care August 5, 2009

American voters, by a 55 - 35 percent margin, are more worried that Congress will spend too much money and add to the deficit than it will not act to overhaul the health care system, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. By a similar 57 - 37 percent margin, voters say health care reform should be dropped if it adds "significantly" to the deficit.

By a 72 - 21 percent margin, voters do not believe that President Barack Obama will keep his promise to overhaul the health care system without adding to the deficit, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University national poll finds.

American voters disapprove 52 - 39 percent of the way President Obama is handling health care, down from 46 - 42 percent approval July 1, with 60 - 34 percent disapproval from independent voters. Voters say 59 - 36 percent that Congress should not pass health care reform if only Democratic members support it.

Voters are split 39 - 41 percent on whether the President's health care plan will improve or hurt the quality of health care in the nation, with 14 percent saying it won't make a difference.

Only 21 percent of voters say the plan will improve the quality of care they receive, while 36 percent say it will hurt their quality of care and 39 percent say it will make no difference.

"President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress appear to be losing the public relations war over their plan to revamp the nation's health care system," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Americans are more willing to scrap a health care overhaul than they are to increase the deficit in order to produce such legislation. That's a bad omen for the White House and Congressional leadership as they try to sell their plan to the country this month before the vote counting gets serious on Capitol Hill in September."

The details of the poll shows a dramatic shift away from support for Obama and the Democrats:

The attempt by the Democrats and the press to claim it's nothing more than a few, loud conservatives is a good sign of their unhingement.

Still a little groggy if you as me....but no longer in rem sleep. What we need is a little caffeine to wake things up....Obama’s storm troopers are seeing to that.

Remember our best weapon is the Ballot Box, we need to vote out those who vote in opposition to our wishes!

Of course it's real. We have abject evil amongst us. It has been festering for decades and is now rapidly advancing. The American people are seeing through it on this health care plan and are angry...and tired of being the patsy for all of these marxistic, socailistic, destructive, initiative robbing, liberty destroying, un- American, and unconstituional actions of the DNC, Dems, left, MSM, and RINOs.

Something is going to give, and so help me God, it will not be the liberty, constitution, and way of life my forefathers sacrificed their life's blood for.

The Dems and Obama seem intent on turning this into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent. But that will not work here. It will backfire on them and ultimately they will be held accountable. We are not only aware of our rights and the sacrifices that have vouchsafed them for us, but we are also unwilling to submit to thugery and tyranny, and will use all means to prevent it and stop it.

Not just outrage about the Health Care bill, but outrage at the government’s thuggish response to the outrage.

I thought that this bill was about addressing the (relatively small) uninsured citizens we have in this country?

Why are we changing the health care of 307,000,000 people for ~30,000,000 people?

This doesn’t make simple sense —whether it’s a 10-page or 1,000-page bill.

Sorry Obama, it didn’t work! You thought you were so freakin’ “cool” and “hip” that everyone would just Rahm through everything you told them too. I hope you become the most hated president in history, you already are by me. Hell, I’m almost starting to like the Clintons compared to you.

it makes a LOT sense froma Marxist control angle. The bottom line is this isn’t about health care at all it is about destroying freedom in this country, and socialized medicine is an effective in that effort.

losing the public relations war

It's not a P.R. thing. Ordinary people are waking up to the fact these idiots are on the verge of destroying the best health care system in the world.
