Can you not spot a facetious statement? Sorry for my faulty assumption.

The Obama-haters act as if virtually all of America is anti-Obama. How can they be so blind and ignorant of history? Are they watching too much Fox News?

How can anyone in his/her right mind compare Barry with the great Ronald Reagan?? Please. What an insult that is to former President Reagan.

I agree. The biggest difference I see is that Obama can talk for hours and say little to nothing, whereas Reagan's words were so succinct.

Yeah, you're right. Besides PBS is a far-right conspiracy network.

That's their only goal. They have no ideas and no interest in creating any. They do not have your best interests in mind. Why don't you understand that?
Your statement assumes that Obamacare was written in the best interest of the healthcare of the all people of this country, it was not. It was written to take power away from the individual and place it in the hands of the government. Therefore your arguement if fallacious.

Oh, Jim DeMint ROCKS as a Conservative. He understand that dismantling and defunding the HHS structure as put in place by Obamacare is in everyone's best interest. It is the ONLY way to stop this travesty from becoming single payer Socialized Medicine. Small government gives power to the people!

Also, you may want to consider, of the 51% who indicate they favor a repeal, do so because it isn't as progressive as they would like. As time goes on, it will become more progressive and better, just as the Civil Rights Law did, and continues to do.

Oh, so that's why people who protest Obamacare are called racists by liberals. Thanks for the heads up florida.bob!

Did they then present the points in the many bills to the public? Did they take to the microphones, take it to the American people? What was the American people's response? Because I missed all that.
Try watching something other than MSNBC.

thnik you need to take a few things into consideration:

polling is different today

We have and had many more Democrats than Republicans, so of course in 1982 the Democrats were not going to admit they liked Reagan regardless of how they may have voted, nor are many going to admit today, they are no longer Obama supporters and last, you know what? I would still love to know where these polls are really coming from, how many times have any of us been called and asked, do you like your President or approve of him? I have been voting for over 50 years and am still waiting for that phone call.
