As the Weekly Standard is reporting, a new poll of likely voters reveals that 60 Percent of Voters Want Obamacare to Be Repealed. 60 %! ~
… three-fifths of likely voters support the repeal of Obamacare. A large plurality — 44 percent — wants to see Obamacare repealed and replaced with a conservative alternative. A much smaller group —16 percent — wants to see it repealed but not replaced. Less than one in three respondents — 32 percent — would like to keep Obamacare, whether in its current form or in amended form. So, with a conservative alternative in play, 60 percent of Americans support repeal, while only 32 percent oppose it […]
Repeal and replace was chosen by a plurality of every age group, every income group aside from those making over $150,000, and both sexes. Among independents, 62 percent said they support repeal, with 46 percent backing a conservative alternative. Only 31 percent of independents support keeping Obamacare in its current form or in amended form. Among those who make between $20,000 and $100,000, 63 percent support repeal, with 48 percent backing a conservative alternative. Only 30 percent of such voters want to try to salvage Obamacare.
(The poll included 38 percent Democrats and 32 percent Republicans.)
It’s obvious that the Affordable Care Act has been dysfunctional since day one – almost as if it were deliberately created to fail (See “Related” story below) ~
Obamacare is like a house that’s built on a poor foundation by the world’s worst architect, with cost-overruns and maintenance expenses that make each year’s tab higher than the last. When confronted with such a monstrosity, one doesn’t change the placement of a closet or tweak the color scheme in the kitchen. One calls for a bulldozer and hires a different architect to build a better house on a strong foundation at a lower price. Such is how it is with Obamacare.
So what’s the problem? Why aren’t we dumping it? With the mid-terms rapidly approaching, why isn’t this a huge election issue?
Why? Because the politicians – on both sides of the aisle – only want power; power that comes from big, bloated government.
Folks, there’s no clearer evidence that We-the-People no longer possess a government by-the-people than this entire ObamaCare debacle. Ever since this legislation was rammed through Congress, and signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, it has NEVER, EVER had support from a majority of Americans. Both parties now own this disaster. Yet these elitist poltroons on the Potomac simply do not give a damn what we want.
