Schumer: Health bill's unpopularity 'has peaked' -- legislation will 'become more and more popular'
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 12/24/2009 6:11:45 AM PST by Def Conservative

Meeting reporters after passage of the Democratic national health care bill, Sen. Charles Schumer seemed sensitive to the commentary pointing out that the Democratic legislation is overwhelmingly unpopular with the American people. "I don't believe that," Schumer said. "I believe that the negativity that Leader McConnell and others have continually displayed on the floor has peaked, and now, when people learn what's actually in the bill and all the good it does, it will become more and more popular."

Let it be known, their strategy is to tell America: You were too stupid to know what was in the bill but now that we passed it we can finally explain it to you dummies.

Let your friends and family know.

Those of us who disagree will have to be re-educated, obviously.

Because the voters ACORN employees invent in time for 2010 will say they love Obamacare.

Because any ad developed to criticize the bill will never get any farther than You Tube and ads supporting the bill will get a free pass.

Another pearl of wisdom from Up-Chuckie Schumer. I knew New Yorkers must be stupid to have elected Hillary! but this guy takes the cake. (No. I’m not referring to New York FReepers. Sadly you aren’t the majority in NY these days but I suspect your day is coming!)

Yeah, Chuckie, the American people will happily embrace this monstrosity once they learn that they start paying immediately for “benefits” that become available in three years.

This from the say idiot who believes that if we take folks weapons away, their will be no criminals with weapons on the streets of American. The guy is a total bozo and has no idea of what he is saying. People keep voting these morons into the Senate and House.

Just another attempt at a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It won't work. Providers are taking action right now to adjust to this bill. Everything wrong with medical care from this day forward will be the fault of Obama and Democrats. They can't escape it.

I guess the test will be how much the congress hears from their constituents during the break. Since it’s the Holidays they might not hear much and that would reinforce their belief that the public has lost interest.

Dream on clown face.
Try “become less and less popular” as voters find out how really nasty this bill is.

And why would your legislature pass a major bill that is unpopular?

Thugs.

Higher taxes and no program until 2014 is not going to increase popularity. Not to mention the immediate cuts to medicare.

The marxists are full of sh*t.

They just think the sheeple will forget. Believe me, many of the masses of stupid americans that voted for their own demise do not even know there is a Deathcare bill and have no idea how horribly their lives will be affected.

They will expect top notch care and all they are going to get is 3rd world service.

Worse than stupid.

Did Schumer read the bill? How does he know what good he claims it will do?
