No brainer. Skip that. Considering BO’s current popularity at 42%+/-, this poll is brain surgery.

probably the difference in the audience of CNN and Fox.

As Fox kills CNN in ratings, it should be believed.

considering the libs always vote on these polls too - and you still have 95% saying NO - this shows, lib or not, they don't want another 20% of their paycheck and the mammoth loss of liberties to go into affect.

You can bet your bippie the Senate will be taking this into account.

A very similar attempt at a take over bill like this has passed the house before - years ago...and went down in flames in the Senate - killing it/

the Chicago thugs in the White House are bribing and blackmailing reps to vote for it - but they won't get enough in the Senate...

bottom line, the senators are going to protect their own butts for the election next year. With the overwhelming majority against this = harry won't get his votes. (95% is a blowout. In any poll, you can always count on at least 20% to vote the wrong way - 20% would vote against Mickey Mouse. So 95% is unheard of. They'll be listening.)

Funy thing: Only about 1/3 of the Senate is voted for each 2 years. On a rotational basis, and they serve a 6 year term.

OTOH- the ENTIRE House of Reps if up for election in 2010.

I predict a severe house cleaning ( pun intended ) in 2010, and EVERY person who voted for this bill needs to be sent packing. EVERY ONE.

The diseased liberal minds can only look at the pretty pictures on CCN.

Fox viewers tend to read, look, listen then make up their own minds, then come here to FR and speak their piece.

That's pretty good, if ONLY 54% of left-wingers want it past! That means if you mix that in with the sane people...

Let's see... 25% of the country are probably left-wingers and 75% are probably middle to conservative**. So 54% of 25% is about 13-14%, so that means 85% PLUS of the country says NO!

**This is an unscientific calculation, but WAYYY MORE accurate that anything coming out of CNN!

I predict a severe house cleaning ( pun intended ) in 2010

That's a great name for a new push, after we get these damnable take over bills put down = (so-called health care and cap 'n trade)

Add brooms with the tea bags. House Cleaners

with small brooms/apron props. "We're coming to clean OUR house" "First, we'll take out the trash"

"Then we'll have a cup of tea and get it ready for people who HEAR us."

(30years ago, the socialists were real close to the power they have now - then along came Reagan. Defeated, they decided to take a new strategy - infiltrate and take over the democrat party.

None can argue their success.

They are now intent on the same strategy with the republican party = and I believe the 2 latest ones (they re getting blatant about it_ are the gal they put up in NY #23 - who promptly switched her allegiance to the dems one she realized she hadn't an ice cubes chance in he*l of winning = and the new guy in Louisiana - the sole republican to vote for the house bill.

Hopefully, with Sarah, Thompson and such, the Sheeple will wake up and realize we MUST find new, outside the establishment, people = honest conservatives = to run and to he*l with the mantra "Whose turn is it?"

We need the Sarah Palin, the Michelle Bachmans, the Allen Wests -
