Harsh Reality

Conservatives, reality can sometimes be harsh:

WASHINGTON — Americans by 9 percentage points have a favorable view of the health care overhaul that President Obama signed into law Tuesday, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, a notable turnaround from surveys before the vote that showed a plurality against it.

By 49%-40% those surveyed say it was "a good thing" rather than a bad one that Congress passed the bill. Half describe their reaction in positive terms, as "enthusiastic" or "pleased," while about four in 10 describe it in negative ways, as "disappointed" or "angry." The largest single group, 48%, calls the bill "a good first step" that should be followed by more action on health care.

...
Now if we can just get goblowridge.newt to balance its coverage of healthcare by interviewing politicians who represent the majority of public opinion in these here United States, that would be nice. Oh, and maybe some syndicated talk programming that doesn't refer to the newly passed healthcare bill (law!!) in the same breath as declaring that healthcare reform has led to the death of democracy.

Good luck getting any of the local rags to cover anything the least bit negative about the "right". Did we see anything in the news about son of Billy Graham's $1.2 million income, supposedly from two full time jobs? It is a wonder anyone reads the local news at all other than local crime aqnd a few editorials.

you're wrong, as usual. a political party was able to pass a bill with not one vote from the opposition, and against the wishes of a vast a majority of americans. that's never happened before. civil rights act passes with bipartisan support. not obamacare. and since you love polls, you're really wrong. remember all those camps bu$h was making for domestic political prisoners? check your archives. pretty sure that never happened.
