I'm Surprised The Health Care Repeal Hasn't Merited a Thread

With only 18% of Americans interested in total repeal of the new health care law, you would think that Republicans wouldn't make it their number one issue. And total repeal is all they are offering. Not that their symbolic vote doesn't have meaning to their hardcore fringe elements but what I think is that down the road the vote they take today will be thrown in their faces again, and again, and again and for what? So they can please the looniest elements of their base.
If there was a brain in their collective heads, they'd find a way to weasel out of this stupid vote that is going to haunt them for decades. With no chance of actually happening, the repeal of this law will only become a noose around the necks of those in congress that are too blind to see what they are letting the radical fringe of their party do to them. I'll enjoy watching them flounder over this issue for years to come.

 

You would not care to back that up, would you? Here is my link saying your making the stats fit your conclusion.
Health Care Law - Rasmussen Reports™

 

No problem...

Americans are still split on health care reform, but only 18% favor a total repeal: poll

You could just google "repeal, 18%, poll" and find many stories regarding this latest poll.

 

And the rest of what it says;

Not only that, but they do not even say what their questions were to come to this conclusion.

 

Many of those that oppose the law oppose it because it doesn't go far enough. That seems to be conveniently left out of the poll results by the Right.

Polls find the public divided over the law and whether it should be repealed. A recent Associated Press-GfK survey found a 43 percent plurality wants the law changed so that it does more to re-engineer the health care system

 

Just de-fund it since there's no chance for repeal (at least at this point in time). Leave it languishing on the beach like a bloated whale. Those people with their hand out should pick up a shovel instead and help bury the thing.

 

Yeah, let's all do what the fringe Right-Wing thinks is best for the country. They know so much more than the rest of us.

 

That's because, like balancing the budget, it is never gonna happen.

 

Nice move Republicans! You have just forged the hammer the Democrats will use to beat you over the head for the foreseeable future. All the lies the Right has told about the health care law will eat away at their support. Dishonesty is never the best policy.

 

I'm happy to see the Republicans kept their campaign promise to try to repeal this monstrosity. Thanks for keeping your word, Republicans! It's like a breath of fresh air when I see politicians actually doing what they said they were going to do.

 

Yes I suppose you could look at it that way, but, then again was their promise ever really anything more than a hollow bunch of rhetoric with no chance of ever succeeding? They certainly made it sound like the repeal was a done deal if they won the election knowing full well it was a lie. All they have done is voted on it and in reality repealed nothing. I think that breath of fresh air you are feeling is actually a big old elephant fart in your face.

Come on, Moen! You've got to respect them for keeping their campaign promise. I'm just wondering what you'd be saying had they NOT kept their promise.......

Had the Republicans taken the Senate also, Obamacare would probably be nothing more than a bad memory. They only have power in the House and they succeeded in repealing it there. They did what they said they were going to do and that is a breath of fresh air!

 

Just look here to see what he would do. And they still have 11 months before that promise can even be broken.

It takes one more person to truly get rid of it. I think there are more than a couple trying to ensure that happens.

 

And you have to admit that the elephant farting in your face just works on so many levels. LOL!

 

Humor. The last refuge of a scoundrel. But, that's all I expected from you anyway.

 

Actualy it is Patriotism that is the last refuge of a scoundrel coined by Samuel Johnson on the evening of April 7, 1775

 

I know, I was re-inventing the phrase.

 

Yeah, because we all hate humor.

 

Well, you obviously don't know what good humor is... tasteless jokes and all. I don't really consider you a humorist. Actually, more of a comedic performer akin to clown. Entertaining for a brief period with your antics and putting on whimsical displays, but soon becoming tiresome and old hat. Sort of like an old Vaudeville performer who has gone past his prime, but even more like a jar of mayonnaise that has gone way past its "Best By" date.

 

Sounds like someone is jealous!
