So much for the PR bump the Dems were supposed to have gotten after pushing Uncle Sam's health care takeover through Congress. Says Rasmussen Reports:
Just before the House of Representatives passed sweeping health care legislation last Sunday, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.
In terms of Election 2010, 52% say they'd vote for a candidate who favors repeal over one who does not. Forty-one percent (41%) would cast their vote for someone who opposes repeal.
The November elections still are a long way away. But this sort of public anger isn't likely to dissipate soon.

Please don't repeal it. I live living in the Age of Dependency.
For one thing, I just cannot get over the Excise Tax on Indoor Tanning. It makes the Healthcare Legislation feel, well, right with the universe.
Forget missile defense of our allies in Eastern Europe. Forget sanctions against a Persian Empire about to go nuclear. Forget Israel, we have done enough. Forget that our Constitution has been re-defined per “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and is now more a guideline than a rule. And, Al-who?

And Now This:
The Age of Dependency (To the tune of that great song from the 5th Dimension)
When Rahm is in the Lincoln Bedroom
And Harry Reid aligns with Mars
Then Barak will guide the masses
And Dodd will steal the stars
This is the dawning of the age of dependency,
The age of dependency,
Dependency, dependency.
Taxation and confiscation
Stimulus and hope abounding
No more freedom and dissention
Golden free healthcare delusions
Mystic Nobel ordination
And your income redistribution
Dependency, dependency
When Rahm is in the Lincoln Bedroom,
And Pelosi aligns with Mars,
Then Barak will guide the masses
And Rangel will steal the stars.
This is the dawning of the age of dependency,
The age of dependency,
Dependency, dependency.
Pay more taxes….., pay more taxes now
More taxes….now
Give your savings……give your savings now
Your savings…..now
They deserve it…….they deserve it more
Yes more…..than you
Pay more taxes….., pay more taxes now
More taxes….now
Give your savings……give your savings now
Your savings…..now
They deserve it…….they deserve it more
Yes more…..than you
Pay more taxes….., pay more taxes now
More taxes….now
Give your savings……give your savings now
Your savings…..now
They deserve it…….they deserve it more
Yes more…..than you

Anger at issues, equals energy for reasons to vote equals great chance of winning. The Health care Bill, its contents, and its effects need to be the topic of conservation in the context of our economy daily
But waite, there is more: Jobs, a big issue ignored by BHO and effects of the HC legislation will be felt and are being felt as we speak.
Our ddebt, and our society as a whole are at risk.
But for those who have tolerance for details I think the important talking points are the following: Lies about the costs, the debt ( the phony CBO report ) the lack of availability of Medical Care and increase unemployment to mention only a few issues.
So--its the economy baby, its about unemployment, and its about our social order.
PS: if and when cap and trade and immigration come in play the same issues above will apply.
The Democrat Party wants power over you. And, at your expense.

A caller to a radio show today said not to just repeal the Health Ins. bill, but to "REPEAL THE DEMOCRATS!"
I agree. Vote Republican. Hound them out of office, like Rush said!
