"In my first term, we passed health care reform."

He's totally gonna eat my dog. What he doesn't know is my bunny is a cunt.
 
Yeah, that's really something to be proud of :rolleyes:

Jamming through an unpopular plan that the majority of the country is opposed to, forced through along single party approval using threats, bribes and lies, which would eventually bankrupt the country, desecrate one of the best health care systems in the world, already greatly increased the cost of health insurance, when those provided for at the expense of the majority were already protected under SCHIP and hospital care mandates for treatment.

This bill was passed against the majority opinion of most Americans, and has not only outraged ordinary Americans (who mostly favor an incremental, well thought out approach to reform) but will decimate the practice of many physicians providing healthcare services.

Reliable polling sources found that the majority of ALL registered voters do not approve of Obamacare and feel the nation is worse off for it, stating such opposition to as decreased quality of medical treatment, increased costs for treatment, medicine and insurance, cuts in Medicare to the tune of $400 Billion, and a greater decision making presence of government in the examination room.

By a margin of 54 to 34 percent, Independents (those who tip the scale) are strongly opposed to the "Affordable Care Act." According to a recent Kaiser Foundation poll, most Americans “have an unfavorable view of the healthcare reform law.”

Current polling continues to show strong opposition:

Poll...........For...............Against.............Spread
Avg..........39.4..................49.7..............Against +10.3
NBC..........36....................45.................Against +9
WSJ..........36....................45.................Against +9
CBS..........39....................47.................Against +8
NYT..........39....................47.................Against +8
Qnpc........38.....................51.................Against +13
Rsmsn......37....................56..................Against +19
FOX..........40...................53..................Against +13
ABC..........39...................53..................Against +14
WP...........39...................53..................Against +14



Don't let facts get in the way of your blind bravado strut though....
 
To understand Obama you must understand Al Capone and Chicago politics.

Obama believes and Capone believed that democracy is limited to your gang or cohort or tribe. Everyone else exists to be harvested and used.

Oh so Obama is like a mass murdering thug criminal.

And you have a Ph.D. That's how you came to such a sophisticated way of thinking.
 
Comrade Merc doesn't understand the whole representative democracy concept.


You're both terribly confused. America is a Republic. We elect people to govern the nation and represent us, not simply channel opinion polls.

Retard bait!

It was a funny line from his WH Correspondents' speech last night. Lighten up, Francises.

A good one from Jimmy Kimmel: "Keith Olbermann has more pink slips than Marcus Bachmann."

For many people, the ACA doesn't go far enough, and many feel that we should have a single-payer system.

Everybody else knows that's the reason the polls show dissatisfaction with the ACA. Maybe you'll get the message now.

So how do you represent your constituents if you don't pay attention to what their wishes are?
 
Their wish was for you to be the guy making the decisions. If we don't like the decisions they make we pick a new guy, we can even recall the current guy if he's sufficiently fucked up.

By governing or legislating the best way possible.

New Jersey residents overwhelmingly support gay marriage rights. The last poll I saw was like 56% in favor, 27% against, and 17% don't care. Then the legislature passed a bill allowing gay marriage.

How come conservatives applauded Gov Christie vetoing the bill? After all, it's what the state residents want, right? But conservatives pulled the old double-standard switcheroo didn't they? They advocate for either governing by the constituents' wishes or "do the right thing" (read: if constituents support a liberal policy then it's okay to ignore them) depending on what the issue is.

When a Republican gets elected in a left-leaning district should they switch parties and become a Democrat? Or at least vote with the Democrats? That appears to be what you're suggesting.
