Rasmussen: Conservative Anger Against Obamacare Hitting 'Stratospheric Levels'
Newsmax ^ | 7/2/12 | Paul Scicchitano and Kathleen Walter

Posted on 07/02/2012 4:39:50 PM PDT by Nachum

Conservative interest in the presidential election hit “stratospheric levels” following last week’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Obamacare, noted pollster and author Scott Rasmussen tells Newsmax.TV.

“All that did was energize conservatives,” declared Rasmussen in an exclusive interview on Monday. “The conservative interest in the election was already much higher than that of moderates and liberals. It went up to really stratospheric levels right after the ruling. We don’t know if that will continue or if it’s just a temporary response to the news cycle.”

A “must” is, as you say, avoiding bad TV programming and their advertisers, and dropping stuff, small and large appliances, like GE, and etc.

The third party voters are psychopaths or Democrats in sheep’s clothing. Their lesson to the GOP will end up punishing the rest of us.

Me either. I also can't stand it when Sean Hannity (aka: “Loud Mouth”) has to constantly remind his audience what good friends he and Beckle are. Not sure why he thinks this is a virtue?

Unfortunately that is the nature of man.

He is Evil.

And once a central power is created, then Evil men know exactly where they must go, and that is where they are.

Do you imagine that your rhetoric is going to convince me to suddenly change my mind and vote for someone that supports abortion?

Seriously?

Take a breath.

Chris,

Not trying to be contentious with you, but have a couple serious questions: 1) are you still going to vote in the presidential election in November? and 2) whom will you be voting for?

"So if Obama is reelected will you feel as if you helped that happen? Is that what you want?

People claiming to have to vote their conscience will help the dictator in chief get reelected and there’s no excuse for that. The worse Republican is better than Obama."

-----

I see them as virtually indistinguishable. To me you're arguing the urgency of consuming cyanide to avoid death by consuming arsenic.

I am NOT a purist. I would have supported any other of the GOP nominees (with the exception of course of Huntsman). But Romney is every bit the leftist Obama is.

You know, I don’t want to be right, and I’m taking a lot of heat for what I’m saying, but there is no other way to look at what happened.

I am tired of idiots trying to say Roberts is a genius who stuck it to Obama...he stuck it to us and they are too damn stupid to even realize it.

I’m also tired of all these clarion calls to vote in November, although I understand the reasoning behind these calls, and I certainly intend to vote, we can replace every single electable person, but we will have no effect whatsoever on the case law written by Roberts, the Traitor.

The fatal blow was dealt.

Those who said Obama was in over his head, a rookie, all that, couldn’t have been more wrong.

Those who said we can change it, who still follows Dredd Scott and such...there are no more noble men. No one is going to vote to remove limitless power from themselves.

That is the fancy of fools.

And do you imagine your unhinged outrage at Romney is going to convince me to vote for an evil man such as Obama? Hard to believe you've seen the destruction Obama has heaped on our nation in three short years (and his support of murdering a baby after a botched abortion), but your outrage and disdain is saved for Romney. WTF!

Sorry, but you unhinged, anti-Romney/pro-Obama folks are the ones who need to take a breath. Hell, I'd say you need some oxygen therapy.

"I was not going to vote for Romney. I was adamant against him. I’m voting for him now. The tea is in the harbor. There’s no turning back now. It’s 1774 again and we’ve just been handed the intolerable acts."

I with you. I'm so shocked at what Roberts did. We've got to get this Kenyan rock sucker out of office. Romney will have hell to pay if he doesn't do what he says.

What Roberts did was sheer Evil.

To be a thinking man and choose the action he took...

And yet we have people thinking he’s playing chess with the Devil...

I don’t know what else to do besides bang my head into a brick wall until I die :(

Yes, I will vote or die trying, and I’ll be voting for Romney who was never my preferred candidate.

I’m going to do this, because it’s the last power I have, but I have no illusion that it will change what has happened.

I'm not asking you to vote for anyone.

All I said is I won't vote for someone that supports abortion.

Either one of them.

I'm not hand-waving or screaming about it.

Who is doing that?

I don't do outrage. That's pure projection.

“Third-party voters will “teach the GOP a lesson.”

The only “lesson 3rd Party voters have ever taught establishment Republicans is that they must have views closer to the democrat/Socialist/Communist that won the election if they are to succeed next time around.....

Then they whine, cry, and kick their feet when the Republican establishment gives us RINOs to show they have learned their lesson from last time.

Nothing wins like winning. Vote for the most conservative (Republican) you can, fire his/her butt next time and hire someone more Conservative........

I is my opinion that our greatest fault in this nation is allowing a “ Professional Political Class” to form.....politicians are like babies diapers. It isn’t too long before they become full of it and need to be changed.

“Mitt Romney won fair and square the GOP nomination.”

Uh, no. Romney ran a well heeled/financed negative campaign smearing the other Republican candidates. He bought the election as far As I’m concerned by floating on a sea of slime he conjered up that drowned his betters.

Like Sarah Palin, I’m against Obama whole heart and soul and will work to effect his electoral defeat. Even though I may be forced to vote for Romney, the only viable alternative, don’t list me as a supporter. In fact, should Romney prevail he’ll rue the day as I will be a decided thorn in his side for the next four years.

Are you 10? We've had a professional political class since Sam Huntington.

You remember him? The first President of the Congress of the Articles of Confederation?

Quit projecting.

Life gets tough sometimes and we have to change things.

Voting isn't going to change anything this time around.
