Well it's Ras, so you know.

We really should get an analysis from Research 2000.

That is just based on statistical theory, and doesn't take into account errors in sampling by the pollster.

Any republican that doesn't support repeal should be shot in the head. Especially after November.

Can't get repeal? Defund it. Refuse to pass a budget. Set yourself on fire on the floor of Congress. Set a bureaucrat on fire. Whatever.

Whatever it takes to roll this fucker back, these guys better do it and fast. I'd like to work again sometime in my life.

9 Ein Reichspollster ist gut!

10 FOUR!

11 Despite the ongoing support for repeal, just 41% believe the law is even somewhat likely to be repealed. Forty-five percent (45%) say repeal is unlikely.

I think that's the more important stat.  That whole pesky "consent of the governed" thing seems to have been thrown to the wayside and then run over a few dozen times.  The governed noticed that.  The governed aren't too pleased. 

12 What up, America?

13 Maybe the intervening polls were bad?  This seems to be right back where it was ever since it was passed, and right about where opposition has been the entire year it was under discussion (give or take a bit).

Or with the 4th coming up, folks rememberred they'd kind of like to have a country next year,  and the year after, etc...

14 There's no chance for repeal with today's GOP.

15 Mr. Rasmussen, one can only assume, polled the denim wearing proletariat for this exercise.

16 Yeah, I think we'll be ignoring this and talking about the likelihood that Sarah Palin's funbags are enhanced instead.

17

I bet part of the problem is a lack of confidence in Republicans in Congress.

Ya think?  With douches like cocksucker Cornyn saying repeal won't happen one day and then saying he meant something different the next, I can see where voters might be thinking "throw all the fucks out".

18 What up, America?

Look! One of our downtrodden dark brethren has joined us for cocktails!  Greetings Mr. Steele.  A snappy figure you are cutting this fine eve.

20 Maybe we can change that in November...

WTF? Unless Ron Paul is running for about three hundred seats, no "we" can't.

The GOP's enemy is us, not Obamacare.

21 What the second part of the poll reflects is realism. 60% would like to get rid of it but repeal will take getting both houses of Congress by a majority large enough to override a veto.

That is physically impossible in the Senate unless a lot of Dems die off before this fall.

22 What up, America?

Posted by: Michael Steele at July 05, 2010 06:12 PM (P33XN)

I must say, that is a Negro who would never, ever wear denim.

23 oblig, there are some good Repubs in both houses, so if enough new non-establishment types get in, there may be a majority of the majority (which means they get to pick the Speaker) for doing the people's will.  Don't discount the effect a landslide will have on the psyches of the RINOs when they look around and find themselves outnumbered.

If we cannot count on GOP courage, we can always take a shot at the typical politician's cowardice.

24 Can't believe this poll. Unless, that is, there is a huge disconnect between this and other Osama Obama Muslim-caused disasters.

I don't think much of the general public (especially the brain-dead 52%) but would have figured they would be farther along in figuring out that they are nursing a viper in their collective bosoms. An incompetent, totalitarian viper who hates them.

Would really like to see what percentage of the public currently favors impeachment!

25
That is physically impossible in the Senate unless a lot of Dems die off before this fall.

Personally, as a government of, by, and for the people, I think a collective bearing of ass cheeks at the Eastern Shore is just as good.

Obama has decided that this is not a Republic, but a dictatorship.  Good on him.

But I don't think "dictatorship of the Proletariat" means what he thinks it means.

26 WTF? Unless Ron Paul is running for about three hundred seats, no "we" can't.

Oy. Put down the weed and pull your head out.

You know how multiverse theory says that there are an infinite number of universes out there where all possibilities, no matter how remote, have happened, are happening, or will happen? It turns out that in no universe is Ron Paul the solution to America's problems.

Concurred.

39 Obamacare is like rape, or the weather.  If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.

40 The lower temperature makes the experience last so much longer.

Word.

41 Hitler's pollster can't be trusted and is hurting America.  Job 1, at the new NASA, is to make Muslims feel better about their wretched existence and their lack of contributing anything of value to humanity. Job 2 is supporting Obamacare. Job 3 has to do with science, global warming science, the most important kind. NASA can't recruit the right people to do these jobs if they're not healthy. So support this crazy administration and it's crazy ideas or soon NASA will be but a memory.

42 Set a bureaucrat on fire. Whatever.

You know, if there was a chance of this happening, I would be totally glued to CSPAN and CSPAN 2.

43 What's changed:
Companies complaining of the cost, and not hiring because of it.
Doctors refusing additional medicare patients.
RomneyCare going sneakers up with rising costs.
Canada's health care, Britain's health care on the ropes.
The 'doc fix' is in, and our trustworthy Congress said they would not.

In effect, Congress LIED and the people are catching wise to it.

Come on November!

Hey, dem tings is complicated. A screw ain't tightened, a wrench gets left where it shouldn't outta,,,,jeea, gosh forbid. Just make sure da paperwork is all stugatz.

46 The this about Obamacare is that both the left and the right BOTH HATE this thing for different reasons. Whatever good things are in this bill are buried by tons of pork and riders that do nothing but feed Obama's own ego. First of all the bill just just a convulsion MESS that nothing good is going to come out of it. If they cannot repeal it they might as well just start to gut the thing.

Bureaucrat: OH SWEET JESUS, I'M ON FUCKING FIRE! DEAR GOD SOMEONE FUCKING HELP ME! I'M BURNING UP AND FUCKING MELTING! OH FUCKING HOLY SHIT!

Me: Sorry, pal. This hose is partially made of plastic and is therefore dangerous to the environment if I decided to toss it in a landfill. And that faucet might be leaking heavy metals into the water table. Also, this water isn't up to EPA standards of cleanliness. Gotta be 99.9985% pure. We ain't even fucking close to that. I'd recommend stop, drop, and roll. If you'd done that about ten seconds ago, you might've made it through this thing...

48 You know what happened?  For the last couple of months, people have been focused on the Gulf oil spill and waiting for the Jug-Eared Wunderkind to work his magic on it.  During that time, ObamaCare seemed like it ought to take a back seat.

But now that the American people have seen what Obama can do to fix the oil spill, which is jack shit, they have concluded that he will be able to do the same for their health care.  Oh, and the stories about the unprecedented cost and impact of ObamaCare on their employers and how that will mean they lose their company health plan -- if they're lucky enough to keep their jobs at all.

So it's no surprise at all that the poll numbers have turned sharply in favor of repealing ObamaCare.

49 Fuckin' sock.

15 There's no chance for repeal with today's GOP- Bugler

Exactly right.

The Democrats passed it largely out of political opportunism, with little notion that it was "the right thing to do". That is their same attitude with regards to "amnesty" and controlling the border with Mexico. (no news here)

And most of the GOP knows what the right thing to do is, but they do not have the courage or leadership to do it. The perfect example is how Joe Barton was left to twist in the wind.

We are in for some dark years ahead. The fall election may make some difference ( I certainly hope), but the attitudes of MILLIONS (say it like Carl Cosmos would say it) of people have to be changed to really change the country. Obama is, after all, only a symptom of a deeper problem..

And that is the truly daunting dilemma of our times, and why the GOP appears  (appears? they are!) so feckless and gutless sometimes.

 

57 "One day historians will look back to the early 21st century to name one event that was cause for the collapse of Obama Presidency, the Democratic party and liberalism and the will say it was Obamacare."

... Big 0's failure to make the Gulf Cleanup possible.

Up until 2 weeks ago, 0-Care seems to have been in the lead, but the recent revelations about basic incompetence, like dumping sand on polluted beaches, forcing cleanup workers to take 60-minute breaks between 20-minute efforts and rejecting a 99.5% solution in favor of a 0% solution (because a 99.9985% solution could not be had), look like the new main cause ......

84 It's possible that Obama's general incompetence, lack of leadership, uncaring attitude and egotism are finally becoming apparent to the general masses.  Including some of the deluded who made up the 52% .  A lot of them wanted to show they weren't racists, so they voted for a black man without caring.  "It's only a president, right?  How could one guy screw things up?  Look how Bush couldn't get stuff he wanted through Congress.  We'll be safe."

98 We have to get rid of the fucking RINOs is what we have to do, and if we have to put up with their existence then we need to constantly hold their feet to the fire until they repeal this piece of shit monstrosity.  Not just vote them in and then go scratch our asses till 2012.  We need to harass the holy fuck out of them until every last bit of Obamacare is scrubbed out of existence.

99 Now, Andrew Sullivan's anus hands....that's another story.

100 BTW, Ron Paul could be summed up as follows:

Domestic Policy:  Awesome.  Foreign Policy:  Bugfucking Batshit Insane.

101 Same poll had a majority rejecting keynesian economics and wanting tax cuts. Polls, schmolls; says what I want to hear and believe is true, but can you trust the data? I doubt it.

102 Now, we ain't sayin' we was wrong. No. There's just a few of us with cold feet and yellow bellies. We'll root them out and change their minds. No way us 52% is gonna become 40% and lose our creds. No sir. We're way too smart for you haters. We've got unicorns coming our way, we saw it on Maury Povich. And a stash and free demerol and a condo and everything. It helps to rock back and forth in a fetal crouch when you say this.

103 I'm thinking back to the nineties when the GOP Congress sent welfare reform to two or three of Clinton vetoes before the bad polling forced Clinton to finally sign it.

104 @115 Clinton was all about Clinton and eventually signed some non-libtard legislation to burnish his creds. Barry is, at turns, incompetent and malevolent. He doesn't care about bad polling. He believes we should be thanking him, and if he has to fuck us with electrified fenceposts to make us praise him, he will.

Maybe the new poll reflects people getting a good look at the federal response to the oil spill and extrapolating what that will mean for the survival prospects.

Future statement from HHS: "Well, yes, there are five thousand MRI's in the country. But we're only running 150 of them now because the others need to be kept in reserve for emergencies elsewhere."

109 Obama is all about Obama and would most likely never sign a repeal of his so called signature accomplishment. But if the GOP would grow some balls and send it to repeated vetoes when the majority of voters want it repealed then it would virtually guarantee Obama loses in 2012.

110

Maybe some of those 52 percenters saw that White Castle was going to go out of business because of Obamacare and realized that the dollar menus at Taco Bell, Burger King and McDonalds were sure to follow and had a come to Jesus moment.

111 I would guess reflection on the 4th and another week of Obama's bumbling have raised that number.

The man hasn't done anything right since being elected, and people are finally starting to notice.

112 Future statement from HHS: "Well, yes, there are five thousand MRI's in the country. But we're only running 150 of them now because the others need to be kept in reserve for emergencies elsewhere." That's not funny. That's prescient. It's precisely what the gubmint will do when costs skyrocket and the new federal "health choices" board (or whatever the execrable thing is called) decides to make "prudent" and "rational" decisions on how to allocate resources. "We can't just let everyone have an MRI or a knee replacement; you want us to manage costs, don't you?"

113 T shirts?  I got T shirts.  You racist mfer need to go over to cafe press and buy some of my mfing t shirts.

The thing I want to see the Republicans do after 2010 is defund Obama care. The long term plan is repeal, the short term plan is stop it in place.

Of course if the Republicans had some guts, I'd like to see them use the powers of congress to go after the entertainment industry, the unions, and the trial lawyers. 

116 We must think in term of 2012 not being a factor for Barry.  He simply does not care.  He's not trying to get re-elected.

Wishful thinking. We must assume the worse, that he'll be the incumbent running for re-election against a GOP candidate who went through a contentious primary. With millions of amnestied illegals voting for him.

117 127- exactly correct. It was the Clintons against the Chicago wing, who never realized how many Dems hate Bill and Hillary. They couldn't control the snowball. Barry never wanted to be Preznit. He doesn't want to be Preznit now. See where he ends up after defeat on 2012. I really have no idea, but it will be someplace where he can make lots of consequence-free , feel-good speeches to adoring audiences. Maybe back at Harvard.

118 The FDA has announced that the Fed will grant a special loan to help out the troubled White Castle fast food chain. The loan will be used to unionize the underpaid workers and improve their unsafe and sexually hostile work environment. In exchange for the special loan, which the owners of White Castle accepted from with Treasury Secretary Geithner during a closed door 12 hour meeting under armed guard and without bathroom breaks, the Federal Government will take a 51% ownership stake in the firm. The firm will be renamed "Black Palace," and will feature a new menu of arugula, arugula fries, arugula shakes, organic arugula sliders on a bun of arugula, and unflavored tofu desserts sweetened with seaweed extract. Taxpayers will only be required to eat seven times minimum per month from the chain, under penalty of law which may include a $5000 fine and up to seven years in prison.

119 That is physically impossible in the Senate unless a lot of Dems die off before this fall.

I see MSNBC's 'nuke the well' mantra is starting to spread across the internet. Since we know they get their marching orders from the Whitehouse who else thinks this is a trial balloon floated by the administration just to see gauge libtard sentiment ?

130 'nuke the well'

You know who called this "a terrible idea"?  Trace Fuckin' Adkins, who worked on an oil rig for years before making it big in country music.  That's rigth, America: We live in a world in which the man who gave us "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" has a better grasp on domestic oil policy than the President of the United States.

It's possible.  Perhaps if the libtard sentiment is good enough, he'll authorize it just to prop up his falling polling numbers.

Future statement from HHS: "Well, yes, there are five thousand MRI's in the country. But we're only running 150 of them now because the others need to be kept in reserve for emergencies elsewhere."

The rest of them we sent to Darfur, on your dime.

Your welcome. And have a nice death.

The Russians successfully did it 5 times. However, we know the only reason why MSNBC is touting this option is because right now this is the single biggest issue that is killing Obama's approval ratings and they are getting desperate.

135

Please, tell us why you like Obamacare

I don't like it all that much..,but it is better than a company that provides 10,000 people with gainful employment...with health benefits..

...especially if that company makes icky food I don't like

Now who the hell is this dumb twat, 'Lucy' with a very familiar name?

Perhaps and evil doppleganger. I would never say something so f'ng ignorant--no matter how much I despise the 'food' at White Castle.

 

136

The firm will be renamed "Black Palace," and will feature a new menu of arugula, arugula fries, arugula shakes, organic arugula sliders on a bun of arugula, and unflavored tofu desserts sweetened with seaweed extract.

And every third whitey customer gets a free beating and carjacking.

Have a nice day. 

137 I'd love to think the Reps (RINO or not) could make big gains in Congress, but I think back to Minnesota in 2008, where the cheating to get Franken in was utterly blatant.    And I'm not so certain that a single Dem will lose a seat.

Give it another week. Then you'll have Rachel Maddow piloting the plane and a whooping Ed Schultz riding the nuke down to the target like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove.

139 Am I the only person that's extremely skeptical about the Rooskis only doing it 5 times?  The commies would only tell the world about their space flights after the fact because they didn't want anybody to know about all their botch jobs.  Also they were the idiots that dumped nuclear waste into caves in the Ural mountains willy-nilly without thinking that might not be such a bright idea until spy satellites started showing major hot spots.  Add Chernobyl into the mix and I'm not sure that commie nuke use is the gold standard that the brainless idiots at MessDNC wants their paltry viewers to believe.

140 Nuke schmuke. Barry doesn't care about the method, only the optics and whether he wins praise. Given that the MFM will praise anything he does, which is primarily nothing except block effective measures, he's in no hurry to shut down the well. On the other hand, he'd be happy to have it stop spewing, so he could accept all the credit the MFM will give him. Despite having nothing to do with anything Barry did. Half-man Barry's directions to his immediate minions is like this: "Plug the hole when you can, I dunno shit about this stuff. Just make sure BP gets blamed until the hole is plugged, and I look like a tireless fighter. When the hole is plugged, make sure I get the credit. Rahm, throw as many monkey wrenches into the oil business as you can to soften them up for us later. Now flake off and let me get back to my putting green."

141 "See where he ends up after defeat on 2012. I really have no idea, but it will be someplace where he can make lots of consequence-free , feel-good speeches to adoring audiences." OH SHIT!

142 #153  Am I the only person that's extremely skeptical about the Rooskis only doing it 5 times?

That skepticism's justified.  Didn't the Russkies also have some major release of weaponized anthrax or something that nearly wiped out an entire down?

143 I see MSNBC's 'nuke the well' mantra is starting to spread across the internet. Since we know they get their marching orders from the Whitehouse who else thinks this is a trial balloon floated by the administration just to see gauge libtard sentiment ? I would like to see this and see it work ........ just to witness the mass explosion of Gaia worshipping leftist heads .

144 Up until 2 weeks ago, 0-Care seems to have been in the lead, but the recent revelations about basic incompetence, like dumping sand on polluted beaches, forcing cleanup workers to take 60-minute breaks between 20-minute efforts and rejecting a 99.5% solution in favor of a 0% solution (because a 99.9985% solution could not be had), look like the new main cause ......

This is exactly why you can't put beurocrats in charge of healthcare.  People would be denied treatment if it is less than 99% effective.

145 Hello, most honorable morons.  I have been authorized to put in your account $30 million dollars from our lost goat fund in Sudan.

Our dear friend, Charles, has lost his goat to an accident, caused by global warming. 

Plastic bags MUST be banned to save goats around the world.

Please to donate to Charles so that Rosie can be replaced.

Nice article about Obammay linked by drudge: Barack Obama, the Great Job Killer.

Obama is as hopeless, helpless, clueless and bankrupt of good ideas as the manager of the Chicago Cubs in late September. This "community organizer" knows as much about private-sector jobs as Pamela Anderson knows about nuclear physics.

It's time to call Obama what he is: The Great Jobs Killer. With his massive spending and tax hikes -- rewarding big government and big unions, while punishing taxpayers and business owners -- Obama has killed jobs, he has killed motivation to create new jobs, he has killed the motivation to invest in new businesses, or expand old ones. With all this killing, Obama should be given the top spot on the FBI's Most Wanted List.

Meanwhile, he has kept the union workers of GM and Chrysler employed (with taxpayer money). He has made sure that most government employee union members got their annual raises for sleeping on the job (with taxpayer money). He made sure that his voters got handouts mislabeled as "tax cuts" even though they never paid taxes (with taxpayer money). And he made sure that major campaign contributors collected billions off government stimulus (with taxpayer money).

You wouldn't even have to use a nuke. Just drop Ed Schultz from 30,000 feet and watch a Chicxulub sized impact crater form.

150 OT: just saw trailer for some doc on Pat Tillman, BS on how the military messed with the wrong family and it's all Bush's fault, his family posses me off every time they're on tv

151 I'm kinda in favor of nuking the well even if the dipsticks at MSNBC like the idea, and even if it means Obama finally gets a man card.  So long as it's the 'drill a hole a mile under the sea bed and pinch off the well' plan and not the 'set charges at the mouth of the well and blow a much bigger hole' plan.  I'm extremely skeptical about the relief wells.  That's hitting a needle in a haystack with another needle which is possible, but even so, there's no way at this point to know where the lowest compromised parts of the well are.

Though I think the best option, if there were rational people running the operation, is to drill a bunch of wells in parallel to the deposit and empty it out as quickly as possible.

152 Holy crap some of you people commenting here are friggin' scary.

153 Hollywood should be washing ducks.  If they really care, I mean.  And they don't care about the environment; they care about power in government.  Else it wouldn't matter who is in office.

154 So,I assume ace is still sleeping off his Independance Day drunk.

Maybe he just finished totaling up donations, and is writing a 10K word essay thanking us Morons from the bottom of his jaded heart?

Yeah, I can see that.

Strange how silent the hollywood types are in their criticism of Obama's handling of the oil leak.

Even stranger is how silent they've generally been about Barry in general. I figured I wouldn't be able to turn on a television set for four years without seeing a celebrity braying about Obama. Maybe they're out their doing it somewhere I don't frequent, but I'm just not seeing the celebrity love for this turd in the punchbowl.

161 I am most happy to thank you for your kind reply. 

If you will forward to me a sum of only $20,000, I can assure you that my x wife, Rosie's estate, which is in control of all the oil in the Northeastern providence of dumb fuck, Sudan, will be sending you immediately $20 million dollars from the goat reserve fund, which is in trust for lacking the funds to pay the taxes.

I am axing that you reply to me personally, since others not authorized to make this agreement might try to take advantage of you.

Respectfully, Charles, the Goat Widower.

162 179 There's been a few of the usual suspects that are still madly in love with Obama and vocal about it, but most of Hollywood seems to have gone strangely silent and only talk about their movies or projects.

If you can't say anything nice about someone . . .

163 Could someone please tell me why gas prices are dropping? We have one big ass oil spill in the gulf. Summer is getting into full swing. We are just finishing up a major holiday weekend and here in NC gas prices are dropping like a rock. In the past any middle east country says "We are cutting oil production by 10 barrels" and prices sky rocket .  Believe me, I'm not complaining but it seems odd.

164 I am wanting to make sure you do not think one of my Nigerian cousins sent this email to you. 

Please to check out this website and you will see that Rosie and I are not involved in these scams.  I am poor widow man who needs a new goat.

http://tinyurl.com/9p7ns

165 Charles Tombe, send me 40k first.  Then I'll send you 20k.

166 During the summer of 2008 gas prices were climbing fast and the Dems were making political hay of the link between Big Oil and the GOP. Then the GOP countered with Drill Baby Drill to raise the supply to lower the price, which caught on big time with the public, and the prices dropped.

167

I'd kill my own mother if it meant Barry's poll numbers would go up.

I'd fuck her eyeless skull if it meant a second term.

168 #184

Yes this is right, I will send you $20 million US, but you must first send me the goat tax.  I can not bury Rosie without the $20,000, and so will not be able to get to her estate.

You see, if we hadn't cooked her this would not be a problem, but now her son is contesting the will.

169 While repeal maybe structurally impossible - numbers like that will allow a 'Pub house to not appropriate funds for specific Obamacare functions -- and follow up with Anti-Deficiency Act hearings to ensure the bureaucrats aren't working off reservation.

I think another tactic should be to use the new majority to begin a wide, sweeping series of investigations of the Dems.  They're all criminals, so finding evidence of illegality should be easy.  Begin a process of driving them from the legislature one at a time.  Once enough of them are gone, impeachment of Obastard should commence, followed by Biden.  Michelle Malkin could probably provide all the help they need to carry it off quite successfully.

171 I think another tactic should be to use the new majority to begin a wide, sweeping series of investigations of the Dems.

Oh, but that wouldn't nice.  We wouldn't be reaching across the aisle, like so many liberals do.  The only way conservatives will stay in power is by proving that we're better people than they are.

172 I think another tactic should be to use the new majority to begin a wide, sweeping series of investigations of the Dems

What new majority? Forgive me for returning to the original topic, but I don't think the Republicans have the guts to run on repeal, much less do it if they are elected.

Tillman's family lost a source of income, and a fairly large one,   when he was killed.

I believe their entire motivation is money.  I know that sounds harsh,  but I think it's true.

174 NOTHING is impossible. We just need the political will and the votes to carry it out. BTW I don't believe Rasmussen was included in the poll results from last week. So, that's where you're discrepancy might be.

175 What happened was that people have noticed that their lifelong doctors are retiring left and right due to ObamaCare.

Not to worry - the democrats are going to pour billions of dollars into pro-PelosiCare advertising.

178 If you believe Obamacare will be repealed I have a bridge to sell you buddy, yes we will see tea party candidates calling for it after the Dimmi's are slaughtered in November but the core GOP corporatist's will not go along remember medicare part D? Remember Social security reform? Yeah ain't gonna happen.
