Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan.
They could care less. They're going to pass something & from then on, it's all over.
The rats’ logic is ridiculous. We have to pass something.... anything..... even if it bankrupts the country. At least they can say they passed healthcare for their master. Morons.
And the Democrats in Washington seem to have no fear of 2010. Like its in the bag. I find their lack of concern quite chilling.
How silly. Don’t you know that voter’s wishes don’t count.
It’s just another tax....a big fat one....hidden in everything you touch..
Keep calling and faxing. Doctors and insurance companies plus HMOs and others are working behind the scenes to kill this. We need to push harder.
Thank Newt and Dede for sabotaging NY-23 and helping ACORN/SEIU in their fraud. That helped it pass in the House.
Basically because Healthcare reform would no longer hang around Hillary’s neck, it would be all Bambi’s.
BC is setting Obama up for the fall, guess who’s gets the shot in 2012 as the Dem’s fall to pieces in 2010.
You and me both. It is not normal to openly defy the will of the people. They seem to feel comfortable as though it no longer matters.
Yeeeup.
And you know, for those 38%, they are probably the non-workers of this country, people swayed by the smile of Zer0.
The 62% who do not support it are the sweat makers who realize how badly they are getting screwed by the Dems.
Our only hope is to sell Washington to the Chinese and move the Capital to Chatahoochie Florida. That way the Senators and Congressmen could be closer to treatment. They are in obvious need of mass quantities of Thorazine, good shock Therapy and a few Lobotomies.
I think the Dems feel as if they have such a large majority that they wont lose the house or senate next year, collateral damage in losing some but not all, so they would still have a further 2 years to cause trouble.
Thank Newt, Dede and the RINO GOP Party hacks in NY-23. They showed the Dems that elections can still be rigged. NJ and VA showed we can win in blue states. Unemployment is 11.2% in Florida and worse in other states. People are furious and scared.
Keep calling and faxing.
its not political suicide, its national suicide. This will destroy the health industry in America and increase US debt to unsustainable levels
Newt is a whore, in step with McCain. They talk tough when their poll numbers tank.
Karl Rove just told Bill Hemmer that the Senate with 60 votes COULD repeal Deathcare after 2010. And to count on a revolution of seniors who vote in off-year elections.
I feel the same way: its like they have something in mind other than elections.
They’re going to do it anyway because they “know better”.
I’ve been troubled by Dennis Moore’s demeanor, even before his announcement of not running again in 2010.
He’s got the demeanor of someone that knows that all this just doesn’t matter because the world as we know it is going to end far before any of the consequences of this come to fruition.
keep calling and faxing.
Bingo! This is what makes no sense at all. They seem confident that they will be able to steal elections all over the US. We are going to need to have poll watchers and lawyers at every precinct in this country in 2010.
The Democrat majority in Congress is a deadly viper that the polls suggest is about to be dispatched to an ignominious end in 2010. But while it still has the advantage it is determined to to sink its fangs deep into Uncle Same and inject its full load of venom.

That’s the closest I’ve seen to a rational explanation.

Me too. It's like they know of some secret plan to retain power. The Health Care bill, if passed, will help them do that in the long run but will certainly hurt them in the short run. What they have in their arsenal for 2010 and 2012 is a mystery to me.
But the Republicans, if they have a brain (questionable, I know) they will run on a platform promising the repeal of this draconian legislation. That should be the centerpiece of their election strategy. Watch Sarah Palin because that is the direction she will head. You can count on it.
This is coming from the recent mid-40's; its the woman (and their men) touched by mammogramgate and papsmeargate moving out of the approve column.
This is a DEMOCRAT bill - period!
Quit stretching and wriggling to try and somehow blame this on Republicans.
Repeat: This is a DEMOPCRAT bill!
excellent! Hope those numbers keep sinking too!
It’s important that Michael Steele puts pressure on Snowe, Collins et. al. to vote no and let the Dems pass it if they choose. It’s imperative that this gets put squarely on the shoulders of the Dem party.
Almost like they don't expect there to BE elections in 2010.
If there isn't, I can guarantee a revolution in 2010.

It is for the Socialists/Communists. Their only concern is control and dominance!
Fox reported this morning that Rahmbo is now putting pressure on the other Maine sister. As for the Dems’ overconfidence for 2010, I think they are being told by a delusional Barry that America is still SOOOOOO in love with him so they are safe. The Dems probably know the bloom is off the rose, but they dare not tell Boy Wonder.
lol
Let the democrats continue down this path !!!
I can smell victory in 2010 in the air !!!!
ROFL

It bothers the hell out of me too. Politicians unconcerned about election repercussions. Either they think there will be no personal repercussions (as in if they lose office, they will get big-bucks jobs in some think tank as compensation for falling on their swords), or they think that they will not lose in the official vote counts regardless of how mad the people are.
I fear that Mr. Steele is just a tool of the RATS as are Ms Snowe and Ms Collins. They are just waiting for an opportunity to roll-over for Reid.
If we are ever to clean house in the Congress, we first have to clean house in the GOP!
When your antagonist is doing something that is self-destructive, get out of his way. Even a dying rattlesnake can inflict a venomous bite. Not to stand off completely, but take the whacks when opportunity presents.
All we need to do to slow this progression to chaos, is to never let it gain traction, and the agenda seems to be causing a HUGE amount of disillusionment out there.
Whem grandma is facing a death panel, how long until you are called up in your turn?
Not only that, but once passed they'll be able to morph it into what they REALLY want.
So CBS disagrees with Rasmussen? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2392585/posts Poll Shows Support for Public Option, But Not for Full Bill Which the DEMS will tout today.
But Rasmussen says: Rassmussen, - Support for Health Care reform at all time record low - 38% (political suicide watch) Which the Conservatives will quote.
The Progressives are doing pre-damage control. They’re really quaking in their clogs.
A few are getting it in their heads now that this isn’t going to be “free”,
but that you will be forced, on penalty of jail or death, to buy what they mandate you buy.
Perhaps a reason for their lack of concern for the 2010 election is because they know amnesty is coming for 10-20 million new Democrat voters. They have the power to make it happen, and soon.
Now however, threats have been placed in writing..fines, jail time, “property” siezure, business taxes, etc., Real value forced threats.
These are the types of oppression that eventually brought Soviet tanks rolling into Czechoslovakia.
Of course I can't do that. But you have to admit that this one is a bit different. The taxes go into effect quickly, perhaps in 2010. The "benefits" that will ultimately preclude a Republican repeal don't take effect until at least 2013. So the normal buy-in that you see with Social Security, Medicare, Prescription Drug Benefit etc. as the beneficiaries get bought off by the system won't be there immediately. But the pain will.
I agree it's a long shot. But the unpopularity of this legislation will not decrease for at least 3-4 years. That is the window of opportunity for the Republicans. They can take that opportunity or they can sell us out. Up to them. I'm hopeful but, like you, not overly optimistic. OTOH it is the reason why you need to support Sarah Palin or some TBD outsider who is willing to take on the Washington establishment. Right now Palin looks like the only one really willing to do that. The rest are just go-along, get-along clones like Lindsey Graham.
