Democrats: Americans Who Dislike ObamaCare Are Stupid
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 2/24/2012 | IBD Staff

Posted on 02/27/2012 5:22:25 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Health Care: Democrats used to say the more people knew about ObamaCare, the more they'd like it. Well, the public has had almost two full years to soak it in, and more want it repealed than ever.

A Quinnipiac University poll last week found 52% of Americans want ObamaCare scrapped. That's up from 44% last May. Meanwhile, just 39% want to keep it, down from 45%. Even one in five Democrats now says Congress should repeal the law.

That hasn't kept liberals from calling ObamaCare foes idiots, which is what Democratic party head Debbie Wasserman Schultz did when asked about the poll.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be named
Debbie Washerwoman Schultz, and she should be doing laundry somewhere instead of stinking up the halls of Congress.

Americans only oppose ObamaCare because they "didn't know" about its many benefits. "The pieces of health care reform, when you ask Americans about them, they overwhelmingly support them," she said.

My dear Ms. Wasserman Test Schulz, with all due respect, that is a totally imbecilic statement. That's like asking Americans if they like pizza, cheeseburgers, fried chicken, tacos, beer, wine, cake, pie, candy and ice cream. And when they say, "overwhelmingly," that they like each of these items, you say, "Great! That's what's for dinner tonight. Oh, and by the way, dinner will cost a thousand dollars."

Of course!

Anyone that doesn’t support ‘rat socialist policies is, by their definition, “stupid”.

More often than not, sheeperals ARE sheeperals because they want to claim to be part of the “smart” crowd, even though that designation is self-defined and therefore groundless circular reasoning.

Of course, if you’re to feel superior as part of the superior “circle”, you have to denigrate others’ intelligence as well.

I’ll take my chances and be a medical tourist if need be before I succomb to socialized medicine in the USA. Pelosi and obama can take obamacare and shove it because I’ll not take part in it.

Great analogy. The implication with bammercare is that “someone else” will always have to pay for it,

it’ll be at least as good as it is today,
and it’ll be “FREE!”

More and more people are coming to understand what this will cost, in more ways that just monetarily.

As President Reagan said, it’s not that liberals don’t know anything, it’s that they know so much that isn’t so.

Our company offered three plans last year. A Cadillac, a Chevy and a Yugo. The Cadillac is gone and the Chevy now costs as much. I am getting ready to retire and have to carry a COBRA because my wife is younger than me. The Yugo will cost as much as a COBRA this year as the Cadillac did as a COBRA last year. The Company is getting compliant with ObamaCare.

39% believe they know what is in Obamacare, and therefore, approve?

Really?

Surely the pollsters verified that these supporters knew what was in the bill..../sarc

Headline: “Democrats: Americans Who Dislike ObamaCare Are Stupid”

Projection whether intended, or not. Democrats may be clever, cunning, and tenacious, but when it comes to stupid they have the corner on the market as proven constantly by the unintended consequences, or Wile E. Coyoteisms as they chase after their Roadrunner.

Common Sense is natural order. The Democrats/Liberals haven’t any, and it shows in the results of everything they cause an alteration to the natural order.

“A Quinnipiac University poll last week found 52% of Americans want ObamaCare scrapped. That’s up from 44% last May. Meanwhile, just 39% want to keep it, down from 45%”

The problem with this poll is that it draws an unspoken conclusion that the status quo system is acceptable.

The status quo is only acceptable to people who are young and not sick, and to older people who do not pay for their insurance in full.

The answer is NOT Obama care. The answer is also NOT leaving things the way they are.

Classic propaganda manipulation.

Democrats: Americans Who Dislike ObamaCare Are Stupid

Tossing out random pejoratives because people refuse to buy into their idiotic 'policies' is a trademark of the Democrats.

You'd think they'd realize it's starting to wear a bit thin by now.
