Not even close to half.
Poll: Most Back Public Health Care Option - CBS News
Hardcore conservatives make up about 20%-30% of the population. How is that half?
Every reputable poll I've checked shows at least a small majority support some kind of reform.
He doesn't want half of America to shut up, just the lunatic fringe who would tell any lie to sabotage the clear mandate for a change in the status quo.
the president of the united states shouldn't be telling any americans to shut up, hello
it's suicide politics
those aren't "hard core conservatives" at those town meetings, they're NORMAL americans
SENIORS are FREAKING over their heartfelt FEARS
talk to your parents
and ALL their friends
as for approvals, he has plunged in his personals like a pit in every poll this period
and on particulars, he's getting PULVERIZED
quinnipiac produced a plebiscite THIS WEEK that had SEVENTY TWO PERCENT saying they DON'T BELIEVE HIM when he says he can extend insurance to 50 or so million (1/3 of them ILLEGALS) without significantly increasing the deficit
and by 57 to 37 americans said they didn't want health care if it added to the debt
that's syllogism, sir
by telling americans with whom he happens to disagree that they need to shut up and get out of his way, or be ratted out by their neighbors for saying FISHY stuff, he takes normal political opposition and turns it into RAGE
how would you feel if i spoke to YOU like that
and i'm not even POTUS, i'm just lil ol cliffy
unbelievable
he's killing himself
THIS is why bluedogs won't play
his OWN PARTY's CBO
blue governors like bill richardson, christine gregoire, bill ritter, phil bredeson
the freshman formation led by jared polis
the progressive posse, pronounced by ms woolsey
the most INEPT politician i've ever seen, obtuse obama, and i've seen em all
sorry
