Default O/T: One Down

Do you really think that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Ried really think that

gotten as far as it has with polls showing a solid majority opposing it.



From USA Today:

"By 56%-33%, those surveyed endorse the idea of enacting major health
care changes this year. Just one in four say it's not important to them.

When it comes to financing the costs, six of 10 favor the idea of
requiring employers to provide health insurance for their workers or pay
a fee instead. Increasing income taxes on upper-income Americans, an
approach backed by House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.,
is endorsed by 58%. Just over half support taxing sugary soft drinks."

Now where do you get "a solid majority opposing it"?
