Nationwide protests to Kill the Bill

[Procrustes Stretched]

The nationwide anti Obamacare rallies were incredible!!!!

As someone else in this thread put it- the battle may be lost on this abomination of a healthcare bill, but the war is far from over...

really?

Skipping the ballot box and going straight to the ammo boxes eh?

Unsurprisingly, you seem to have missed 'step 2'.

You see what others fail to see, time and time again.

 

[Article 15]

You will not be able to vote out the encumbants you want voted out because you are a minority gruop.

Liberal voters are the minority group. Conservative and Independent voters are in the majority.

Conservative voters are the minority group. Liberal and Independent voters are in the majority.

 

[L.K.Eder]

voters are the minority group.

strike that, that was wrong.

 

[boedicca]

The strike is already underway.

I know quite a few people with money (entrepreneurs, investors) who are sitting on the sidelines. Their efforts and capital are on strike.

Tax receipts are well below estimates. If the Dems shove this down an unwilling public's throat, expect a broader strike.

Conservative voters are the minority group. Liberal and Independent voters are in the majority.

That is incorrect. The rough breakdown of the country is that on a self-identification basis, voters are:

20% Liberal
40% Conservative
40% Independent

The enormous unpopularity of ObamaCare reflects the loss of Independent support - the people who got Obama elected because they thought he was a moderate (based upon his campaign promises). I doubt he will be able to fool them a second time.

most people self identify and then cannot explain what liberal, conservative or independent means.

a better thing would be to use party affiliation when talking about voters.

then again, lots of losers see no distinction between ideology and party,

Thanks for the "breakdown." My statement is as factually correct as the one I quoted. Just as meaningful too.

It's funny that you mention Obama's campaign ... I seem to recall healthcare reform being a major part of that campaign. The bill is unpopular because he welched on his campaign promises. It's pissed off liberals that are blocking it.

they all should be shown the gate....people who want the truth to be the victor here would be saying that....but there are some phonies amongst us......

 

[Harry Dresden]

Not quite. You seem to forget the 2008 election. And what happens if they lose in 2010? Still going to the ammo boxes according to that.

They say if steps 1 and 2 fail. So basically, if they don't get what they want, they're going to start firing.

Now if that doesn't sound immature, selfish, and completely stupid to you then I have no idea what to say.

scared Dog?....

 

[Harry Dresden]

almost as many people who were in that square in Iraq, when the Saddam statue was toppled.

did you not just say this?.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Wow, I haven't seen a crowd that big since the black pantie sale sponsored by "Conservatives for Torture". There must be hundreds.

scared Dean?.....to make a stupid statement like that shows me your getting nervous.....just keep your yap shut when mommy takes you out in public.....and you should be ...ok....

how about the FAR Left and Far Right are the minorities.....and if the middle would get off their collective asses we can kick these basterds so far away it will be hundreds of years before they ever raise their fucking ugly nation destroying heads again.....

good post Arti.....now how come other folks who lean left cant admit this?.....its not just pissed off Republicans....its pissed off Americans who are blocking this.....for various reasons.....and lets not forget a BIG mistrust of Government in running things....or controlling things...

It's from a Gallup. Actually, only 36% identify as moderates. That leaves 4% to cover the fringes - which sounds about right.

Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group.
