The Republicans need to pledge to repeal the Obama/Pelosi/Reid monstrosity, masquarading as health care reform.
Repeal BummerCare!
Repeal socialist healthcare. It is only going to bankrupt us further.
Yeah, so vote the dems out. Snowballs chance in hell but I can hope.
Uhoh this can not be god for dems!
Very bad news for the rats. Crash and burn libtards!
When a commie craphole like NY wants to repeal democrat evil the world is truly upside down.
Most likely they polled in a heavliy Republican area.
There of lots of fiscally conservative, socially liberal people in NY.
I know of many...
Most of 'em voted for it in Nov. of '08, so what the heck are they complaining about? Did they not know what "health care reform" actually entailed? If so, they're too stupid to be allowed to vote.
It is really unfortunate that a top tier candidate did not step forward to challenge Gillibrand. She was definitely beatable...difficult in NY, yes, but if there was any year for it, this would have been it.
Raises hand. They missed me. Conservative,registered independent New Yorker.
Lots of New York Boomers wondering just how Berwick (Medicare Czar) will know when to start the clock ticking on “their last five years of life” so that health care may be denied.
this is bad news for the Dems for the Nov elections.
Are you implying that enough folks in NY will be p.o.’d enough to vote the dems out?
NYC is still part of NY state and will always be BLUE.
Besides, even if by some strange event the majority of NY voted red, what matters is who COUNTS the votes and that will always be in favor of the dems. They are BEYOND corruption. Their evil knows no bounds!
“Considering that NY is a really blue state and the independents favoring repeal, this is bad news for the Dems for the Nov elections.”
It’s also the home of Bill and Hillary Clinton, whose efforts to enact HillaryCare led to a Democrat debacle in the 1994 mid-term elections.
This poll is clearly RACIST!!
Estimates are that over 25% of the nation’s increased taxes to pay for ObamaCare will be extracted from the corporations and taxpayers of just three states, NY, NJ, CT.
On top of that, the masses of gov workers are fearing they will be reduced to only being able to extort health insurance benefits equal to that of the non-unionized private sector workforce, which is just terrible! Terrible I say!
Also, this has nothing to do with the voting tendencies of most voters in NY State.
1. NY spends more per capita for healthcare than any other state.
2. NY Medicaid spends the most per capita in the country.
3. The very powerful Nurses unions in NY are well aware of the austerity measures about to crush their profession.
4. New Yorkers have very high cost of living, with coinciding higher incomes, which will now bounce them up in the new Obama tax brackets while their real purchasing power parity with lower cost of living states will fall pretty dramatically in the coming years.
6. New York has an aging population of taxpaying voters, they are now facing SS, SSI, Medicare, and government pension scheme payment and purchasing power reductions, most of it to subsidize the flyover country people, the rest to pay off Chinese bondholders and TBTF banksters.
7. On top of now facing higher Federal income taxes, lower household and corporate purchasing power, and a relatively reduced standard of living, New Yorkers will be subsidizing the health care of those flyover country honkies. IN NO WAY WILL THAT MAKE NEW YORKERS MORE LIKELY TO VOTE IN KIND WITH THE FLYOVER COUNTRY.
Most of NY State will continue to be a one party state, the tantrum lies in the fact that Schumer and Wiener are not looking out for the local interests of their constituents, pissing off the base.
Repeal ZeroCare
When the doors and windows of the medical professional buildings are boarded up, the asswipes that are drawn to Obamacare will begin to see their fate.
They really, really do.
But, so far, they haven't. As a party, at any rate -- though several GOP candidates have adopted that position.
Are they running scared? Afraid to offend?
That will only lose them votes this time around.
If the 'Pubbies want to win -- and WIN BIG -- they need to take a stand on a few issues. Healthcare is one of them.
Hey, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Michael Steele, we're watching...
So the state that Obama carried 63% to 36% doesn’t like the “change” they are getting. I can guarantee though that whoever the GOP nominee is in 2012 they’ll lose the NY vote to Obama anyway. New York voters simply can’t understand cause and effect. They repeatedly vote Democrat but can’t understand it when Democrats do something they don’t like. These are stupid people and they’ll never learn.
