So you are also not wanting the majority of Americans voices to be heard?
How un-American of you and your demcracks in congress.
You have seen anything yet, the lawsuits will be flying, the lame duck Presidunz will get nothing else done and the demcracks will be out of jobs soon.
I do not think I would be celebrating your loss just yet.
Not wanting someone to voice the opinion of the MAJORITY of Americans is wrong of you.
Maybe we can repeal the idiot in the WH also since the majority voted for him and now we find the majority would take back their vote in a heart beat.
Thank goodness I didn't vote for him as I saw him as a "used car salesman" when he was campaigning.
People forgot the blunder of the Iraq war, after only 6 months, during the 04 campaign.
8 months is an eternity in American politics. There will be a completely new issue, that people are concerned about come November.
Like George Orwell's 1984:
(to paraphrase) We are not at war with Iraq, we never were at war with Iraq, We are at war with Afghanistan, we have always been at war with Afghanistan. Iraq is our friend, they have always been our friend, that is why we gave them weapons and aircraft. (or was that Iran?) oh heck
Most polls are around a 50/50 split on nationalized healthcare.
Lets break down those numbers.
around 25% will see a higher tax rate, so thats half of those opposing it. The other 25% are hyped up and scared, but what they don't realize, is that their insurance will be paid for, mostly if not all.
Give that 8 months, and its concrete.
You can throw around the word "majority" a lot, but you've got to remember, a majority of people voted for Gore in 2000, and how quickly the 51% that voted for him, forgot about it.
No offense, but can you provide those polls where most are 50-50?
I only hear from various radio and such that the majority are against this bill.

President Obama and Democrats in Congress "have ignored the will of the people and have chosen to ram through their trillion-dollar health care bill despite the American people's overwhelming objection to it," Bachmann said in a written statement.

Obama was elected by a small majority and the polls clearly stated that the people didn't want this bill...but Obama is not for the people...he is there for him self and to get his name on something...if he was for the people and really believed he was the president of the people he would have sit down and listen to the people, but he is only showing up for Town Hall meeting after the election and only in a staged environment...
Let's see how much confidence he will have after November!

How's Michigan and your union loving, socialized thought process faring?? I thought so!! The day I let Michigan give me advice...like California, New York, New Jersey, is the day that secession MUST be given serious thought. You have bankrupted your states with Socialistic policies and now you want to dictate to everyone else that they should also be bankrupt because you know "BETTER" than us!!! You know the words the Dems have been saying all along....Hey, We know better than you.....once this bill is passed, you will love it!!! Pathetic......
