The Polls on Health Care

1. By the numbers a good chunk of those who are in opposition are those that voted for Obama.
2. Honesty works too.

NIgel makes an excellent point Damo. I oppose the present health care reform legislation as it is virtually worthless with out a public option. So my opposition is coming from the left.

Obama has proven the above is 100% accurate
Bush proved it to me when he was elected and the vast majority of Americans by the end of his term!

Well that's kind of the point. The question and the poll results don't tell the whole story. I'm all for health care reform but believe strongly that a public option must be part of it for it to have a beneficial impact. This is where the poll is misleading. You can't read the numbers as to say over 50% are opposed to any health care reform period but rather the should be read as they oppose reform in the form of the present legislation.

Probably not as high as the average. That said, the point is the the majority of the country is not in favor of the health care fiasco in Congress.
To the contrary, the CRU is showing us that the truth shall eventually prevail. The dishonesty by the CRU certainly works on brain dead lemmings, but the rest of the populace now sees their true colors.
We also see that the bullshit being tossed around on health care by the extremes in both parties is being called out for what it is worth. The public is getting tired of the scare tactics from the far right and far left.
The meaning was properly conveyed, thats what matters to me on an interntet post. Get the pole out of your ass... till then...
FAIL!
Which, again, makes no difference. Whether the opposition is from the left or right it is still opposition. My point in my answer to him is that much of it must come from the left, considering they voted for Obama.
realclearpolitics link to each of the polls, there you can read the questions and answers as well as about the pool. I posted the average of all of them. Opposition to this bill is very high.
Duh that's kind of the point. That's why I wrote it.

actually, the meaning was not conveyed... which is why I asked you to correct it. Try again or your grade stands.
