Why does Obama & Democrats lie and claim that ramming through a bill w/o popular support has been done before?
Why do they keep lying saying that the majority of America didn’t want Bush’s tax cuts when that simply is not true.
What is TRUE is that not a single poll shows Americans support Obama’s health care plan.
In 1996, 68% of Americans favored welfare reform.
In 2000, before Bush’s $1.3 trillion tax cut was introduced (by the notably bipartisan duo of Senators Phil Gramm and Zell Miller,) 63% of Americans thought they were paying too much income tax; by the spring of 2001, after a month of legislative wrangling, 56% favored Bush’s proposed cuts.
In 2003, with the Iraq war railing in the background and a post-9/11 economy flailing at home, 52% supported the second round of cuts. Not a huge margin, perhaps, but still a majority.
A February CNN poll puts voter support for the current bill (or a similar variant thereof) at just 25%. An equal percentage thinks Congress should forget health care reform altogether, while 48% think they should start work on an entirely new bill. Of more concern to any Democrat with an eye on reelection, Independents remain unmoved by the arguments in reform’s favor, with only 18% supporting it and 52% calling for an entirely new bill.

If the Democrats do succeed in ramming through this unpopular HC legislation, they will hurt the democrat party, severely.
The people voted for Obama because he promised shovel ready jobs and that he could fix the economy.
They all now know that Obama lied, simply to win the election. Healthcare is NOT the number one priority on the mind’s of the citizens. It’s jobs and the economy.
Obama is hurting the Dems by focusing on healthcare.
if you are right, then you should have no problem in the upcoming elections.
but i’m sure dems are deeply touched with your concern for their political future…

Because they don’t need facts. They feel they know best and the American people and republicans are not in control so they can do what they want. However, both parties tend to tell little white lies to prove their points.

The actual percentage of Americans who want/do not want something in the US is NOT RELEVANT!
If that was the most important factor in governance, why did your Founders make the US a Republic?
It never ceases to surprise me how many Americans think that if a majority want/do not want something then that should matter….the Founders KNEW it should not matter, that’s why they gave you a Republic! Your elected government’s job is to do what THEY feel is best for you, not what "you want", silly goose! Otherwise you’d have a Parliamentary system!
(Do you think that if a poll was taken that showed 100% of respondents favored a 100% pay increase for themselves that then everyone in America should get one? You should pay less attention to polls and more attention in political history class!)
