Most still want ObamaCare repealed

Dems banked on the “pass it and they’ll come around” mentality when they shoved ObamaCare down the nation’s throat last week, but the latest Rasmussen Polls says a clear majority, 54 percent of Americans, want the bill repealed as soon as possible, in whole and completely and without reservation.

In a press release, Scott Rasmussen said, “the overriding tone of the data is that passage of the legislation has not changed anything. Those who opposed the bill before it passed now want to repeal it. Those who supported the legislation oppose repealing it.”

Most of those same voters also hope their states will join those lining up to sue the fed over the health care reform bill. That’s pretty amazing, and the Dems will ignore it at their own expense. Which is fine by me, and qualifies as one of those deals of the day.

Netanyahu forced to deny aide’s comment

I can’t imagine why he would need to, since the statement is pretty much true whether his aide said it or not, but to do some damage control, Israel President Binyamin Netanyahu had to deny one of his aides described President Barak Obama as “Israel’s greatest disaster” in the wake of Israel’s latest meeting with the Obama administration.

Rather than being any kind of friend to Israel, the Obama White House has chosen to treat as an enemy the only stable democracy in the Middle East. (Sure, Iraq and Afghanistan may get there one day, but they’re not there yet.)

Yet President Obama has sided with Palestinian terrorists in demanding that Israel halt all housing construction in Jerusalem in anticipation that it will be given over to Palestine at some point. It’s a childish and ridiculous suggestion, which of course made it too tempting for Obama to pass up.

Some day, America may one day again have a mature President who knows how to keep Americas allies as allies and treat terrorists like terrorists. But clearly this White House is as far from being reliable as they can possible be; they are nothing like a Titan auto insurance review. But that’s what America gets for voting on race rather than policy; what we have today is the direct consequences of white liberal guilt.

Battle of the midgets

The mainstream media, never tiring of telling conservatives which RINOs to vote for, are already trying to sell Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty as the major feud for the 2012 GOP race to face off with President Obama. And the GOP would be utterly stupid to go with either of these tin men.

Romney sold Massachusetts on RomneyCare, which bears a strong resemblance to ObamaCare, on a state level. There’s nothing Reagan-esque about him, and only by comparison did Romney seem even mildly conservative; that’s what standing on a podium next to the RINO king, John McCain will get you.

And Pawlenty? A McCain disciple if ever there were one. He nearly beat out Palin as McCain’s running mate, and would have if he’d been even slightly diverse on views from McCain. But he’s not, so McCain went with Palin in an effort not to lose all the conservatives in his race against Obama.

Here are some names of conservative substance to take a long look at in 2012: Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, Jim DeMint and John Thune. Sure, toss Sarah Palin in there if you must. As least she’s more energetic and better-informed than Joe Biden, who apparently eats CAD drawings for lunch, thinking they’re an exotic chocolate.

The point is, any combination of that group would make a fine set of opponents for the Obama-Biden ’12 fiasco ahead.

Whether it’s Perry-Thune or Jindal-DeMint, I don’t care… just as long as it’s not Obama-Biden again when the dust settles.
