New polls are out claiming only 39% of Americans like the new health care law, while 59% disapprove. Ah HA, pounce the Republicans, proof this legislative scourge needs to be eradicated. Because obviously, trying to make sure Americans have adequate health care is a ridiculous abuse of power.
Except when you dig a little deeper, turns out 15% of those polls are against the health care plan because it doesn't go far enough. And even larger percentages approve of certain parts of the legislation, but not all.
I only hope I live long enough to enjoy the postmortem reports on this short burst of Republican/conservative madness. Anti gay rights, anti women's rights, anti-religious freedom (if the religion isn't Christian)... historians will be scratching their heads over this tragic electoral bump for many years to come...
