39% to 47% of Americans are Just Plain Smart!!

A recent poll has come out, supporting much of what we have been saying here at the CLF.

Q2 Do you support or oppose President Obama’s health care
plan, or do you not have an opinion?
Support ........ 40%
Oppose .......... 47%
No Opinion.............. 13%

Q3 Do you think the government should stay out of Medicare?
Yes ............... 39%
No................... 46%
Not Sure............ 15%

Some smarty-pants has been coming on the CLF site and giving us a hard time about our health care plan. Well, for one, its better than ObamaCare as we laid out in a very long piece that this smarty-pants probably didn't read. And next, number two, most people agree with us that we need to keep the government out of our health care. One of our oldest members, Maek, has been on Medicare for nearly 20 years and is just scared to death that Obama's government bureaucrats are going to get their government hands on his health care. I for one am not just going to let Obama do that without a fight!!

Good thing a majority (47%) now opposes ObamaCare. And 39% want government out of our Medicare, with another 15% that could be persuaded to our line of thinking.

The 47% figure comes from responses of 909 individuals in a "phone poll". Not very accurate or scientific with regard to the broader population to quote one poll. Medicare will not be affected as is written in the proposal. Also, more vets will be included than were during George W. Bush's administration. Nice try though. Regarding Q3: Medicare is currently funded by the government. Therefore, if the government "stays out of Medicare", Medicare fails and is no longer available to Maek. Is that what Maek wants? The government to abolish Medicare by "getting out"? Maybe. Probably not though.
Sincerely,

P. S. Please take down the offensive photo of the angel urinating into the clouds.

You must have a dirty imagination. First, no one is urinating on anything. I think you've been following too many Chevy's and Ford's on the road. Secondly, that's not an angel, it's Jesus for Christ's sake!

Please take down the offensive photo of Jesus urinating into the clouds. Look at the photo!!

Well I found it on the internet and can't believe I didn't see that. Looking through my glasses though, I'm not quite sure about that. I still think you have a dirty imagination.

The photo is clearly Jesus urinating into the clouds. My imagination is fine. Nothing "dirty" about it. It's your eyesight that is the issue. Maybe it's your glasses which are "dirty".

Anonymous, I showed you that poll to show you were wrong. You were all like "Medicare is government controlled", but that poll straight up shows that people don't want government in their Medicare. What do you think about that? Well?

Medicare is funded and administered by the government! Do you understand that? Obviously you are too obtuse to realize that fact. Plus, Jesus is STILL urinating into the clouds on your home page.

Bachmann2012 said...

Plus, you are STILL resorting to insults. No surprise there.

Calling you "obtuse" is not an insult. It is an observation and my opinion; exactly what a "blog" encourages. Besides, the definition of obtuse fits you very, very well: Obtuse (ob tuse) [uhb-toos, -tyoos]–adjective 1. not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant; dull.

Since you refuse to answer questions, I will ask again...

"You were all like "Medicare is government controlled", but that poll straight up shows that people don't want government in their Medicare. What do you think about that? Well?"

Well!?

WELL?!?!?!

Try not to be so angry. If people "odn't want government in their Medicare", then they'll all agree to abolish it. I'd like to see the GOP propose that. A bill to do away with Medicare because it is administered by the government and the GOP doesn't "want government in their Medicare". Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...this site and the CLF is a joke. I get it now.

I am sorry to be angry but it is upsetting when people refuse to answer a simple question, like "well?" Due to your utter refusal to engage in a respectful debate, I deem you to be a troll.

I will watch out for you "anonymous" and will likely ignore your subsequent comments on this site, while at the same time being mindful not to confuse you, "anonymous" the troll, with other anonymous's that are interested in learning more about conservative principles espoused here at Conservatives Loving Freedom.

Well? Medicare is administered by the government. If people "don't want government in their Medicare" they can opt out of Medicare and purchase private insurance. It's, after all, a free country.
