New Record: Poll Shows 58 Percent Want Obamacare Repealed
Townhall ^ | Dec 11, 2014 | Katie Pavlich |

Posted on 12/11/2014 6:34:11 AM PST by Morgana

According to a brand new Fox News poll, a record 58 percent of Americans want to see Obamacare repealed. Further, Americans believe deception was used by Obama administration officials to pass the law in 2010.

The poll includes a hypothetical vote question that asks people to choose between only two options: keeping ObamaCare in place and repealing it. A 58-percent majority would vote to repeal the law, while 38 percent would keep it. That’s up from 53 percent a year ago -- and a record high number backing repeal (and a record low number in favor of leaving it in place).

Similarly, 60 percent wish President Obama had spent more time on the economy during his first years in office instead of reforming health care versus 37 percent who don’t feel that way. Those sentiments are unchanged since the question was first asked in July 2012.

The poll comes just after Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber, who infamously called American voters "stupid," testified on Capitol Hill about the lack of transparency and deceptive, "tortured" language used in the legislation to hide taxes and redistribution of wealth. During his testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee Tuesday, Gruber was told by Massachusetts Democrat Stephen Lynch that a number of Democratic union members have been calling on him to vote for repeal of the healthcare legislation.

pubbies? that sounds a little to close to pubic as in “down there”. though i guess in the case of republicans that is a sound comparison.

The people want repeal, and repubs promise repeal and replace. Notice a little disconnect here?

The prob w/insurance before commie care was that the govt was already too involved.

Obama hears them.

He also hears the other 42 percent.

If you think that this will affect the “STATIST” in Washington, both republicans and democrats, you are sadly mistaken. Their attitude is, that all they have to do is “TWEEK” it here and “TWEEK” it there to make it more pallitible to these very stupid “VOTERS”. They have no intention of getting rid of OBAMA CARE. As far as they are concerned, OBAMA CARE is a “GOD SEND” to what they have wanted to do for the longest time. “HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF EVERY ONE IN THIS COUNTRY”. Their next move is to control all “PRIVATE PROPERTY”. Eventually, no one can do anything on their “PRIVATE PROPERTY” without government permission.

ObamaCare Is Funneling Billions To Defense Contractors
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 12/10/2014 | IBD Staff / FR Posted by IBD editorial writer

Jonathan Gruber isn't the only one who got rich off ObamaCare. Several big government contractors are raking in megabucks to help the government take over the nation's health care system. Gruber made news when it came to light that the Obama administration had paid the stupid-American-calling MIT economist roughly $400,000 to help build ObamaCare, and several states paid him big bucks as well to build their exchanges. But this is just the tip of the ObamaCare tax dollar bonanza. (Excerpt) Read more at news.investors.com ...

========================================================

(Snix) Just wondering? Are all the "Obamacare contractors" listed actually "legit companies?"

It's a breeze for the WH Chicago criminal combine to help themselves to the billions the Obamacare atrocity is rolling out. These conniving criminals are experts in govt fraud......practiced 24/7 in Chicago city hall.

Savvy observers KNOW this is the way pols pocket tax dollars: just add a legit sounding company or non-profit to a spending bill. Like clockwork, all of the money goes directly into their secret LLC bank accounts.

=================================================================

Remember that the Godfather of Chicago criminality was O's COS---Rahm Emanuel also cut his financial fraud teeth on Wall Street. Wall Street types can make money disppear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in.

THE MADOFF MO---When he went to jail, investigators found Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......

.....a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances......the purpose of this complex architecture was to direct money to Madoff sans scrutiny and to generate more (cough) "fees."

=========================================================================

The malevolent parasitic strain of Chicago criminals wasted no time.....they had a stranglehold on the US Treasury from the getgo. The minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod/Geithner, and that diseased bunch, landed in DC they did two things that were apparently crucial to their evil plans:(a) they took control of the US Census; (b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS).

EVEN MORE UNNERVING---THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

More here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124113406528875137.html

=================================

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $10 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down). Ya gotta wonder how much Wall Street Rahm wired offshore when Obama put him in charge of the entire US Treasury.

A percentage of that 58% voted for this BS. And if/when given the opportunity they’ll vote for Hillarycare. Same batch of ass wipes doing the same insane BS over and over.

It won’t get repealed until corrupt IT contractors and insurance companies have milked the last few available pennies from it.

No! You don't say! Even further, the poll reveals that a lot of people in this country who actually believed anything Obola ever said, are gullible, ignorant morons. Evidently, even some of them are finally waking up.

John Boehner and all the republicans who voted him back in as House leader are to blame for funding obamacare and the death panels and the very high unemployment.
