Considering that all the polls show the elctorate to be pretty evenly
divided on Obama's plan, I have great difficulty believing your numbers.


ummm, you might want to check *your* numbers. Latest Rasmussen poll has
opposition at 55% compared to 42% support for Obamacare. Other polls show
similar results, even after heavily weighting democrat to republican in the
sample bases. Worse for your argument, 44% strongly oppose the plan while
only 23% strongly support it.

The dumb ones are those like you that think this is a
Democrat/Republican issue. It is an American/Amerikan issue. A
Socialist/Capitalist issue. An Individual control/Government control
issue.


I've been reading a biography of Thomas Jefferson. When he was helping
set up the state of Virginia, he proposed that all free men who did not
own land, or who owned less than 50 acres, be given enough government
land to make up the 50 acres. Omigod, SOCIALISM way back then!


OK, how does transferring land that the government was holding to private
individuals equate to socialism? Seems like that is shrinking government
and government control of property and transferring it to private hands,
the exact opposite of socialism. The government did not take that land from
someone else to give it to another.
