This is much the same as MSNBC and other outfits did before the election, even hiring formerly honest and respectable Gallup to go along with their pseudo-statistical propaganda.

We can look to four more years (or, God forbid!, eight) of the MSM giving Obama the full Monica.

Professional liars and whores!

You know, if they just changed the name to the New York Democrat Party Times I wouldn't have a problem with it. I wouldn't read it of course, but it wouldn't offend me either because I'd know they were Democrat party partisans.

Its not the liberal bias that's the problem. Its the pretense of objectivity. Stop your LYING, Sultzburger.

If you check out valid polling, Rasmussen, you'll find that:

At least 61% say that Americans should NOT be required to purchase health insurance. Only 22% say that they should. Got that?

Now, government funded health care, such as we have in Canada, is a mandatory insurance plan. It comes out of our taxes. The 61% of Americans don't want such a plan.

Of course, everyone wants quality health care; that's hardly the issue. The issue is - who pays for this health care. By a private investment, i.e., an insurance plan, or by taxes?

Taxes means that the government runs the system, and all evidence shows that government run systems rapidly become top-heavy with bureaucracts; i.e., they become a job-haven for civil servants and extremely expensive. And, their service provision becomes inefficient and underfunded. Because the money goes to the bureaucrats.

A private system pays only for your services, and the citizen is left with a lower tax base. This creates an investor class - lacking in Canada because of our high taxes - and this class funds the medical and scientific research labs.

Another problem in the US, is the massive number of illegal immigrants. And 22% of the 46 million who are without health care insurance in the US, are those illegal immigrants. Who pay no taxes.

Why should the average citizen pay increasing taxes, to fund not only his own health care, but that of others - who pay no taxes?
That will reduce the Investor Class in the US, and this will impact, seriously, its ability to innovate, establish new businesses, and carry out research and development.

phantom - I fully agree. It's not the liberal bias that is the problem; it's the pretense of objectivity...just like the hypocritical pretense of our CBC and CTV etc.

Words fail me. Devestating ones career, business
for what to win the day over a few government programs. The damage to your reputation irreversible.

The historic record when failure and disaster come from your deceit will be brutal.

If nothing else we are living in truly amazing times

Jennifer Lynch at 10:57 AM, are you that famous lady?

Saw an article, can't remember where. The number of people without health insurance includes people that don't want it and 2 million people in custody. They stated the number is closer to 10 million that want it, not 45 million. Would O lie to you? The insurance companies will make out like bandits while hospital construction goes on hold. You will have to have insurance whether you want it or not..except union members.

It also includes people who are temporarily between insurance programs, including those whose status lasts mere days.

Don't you know it is because so many people who voted for McCain are now embarrassed to admit it, once presented with the wonderfulness of Obama's presidency in its full glorious splendor.

I am not sure how Eric explains the drop in Obama's approval at the same time, or the major jump in the strongly disapprove. Or the fact that other polls get different results.

I don't see why they had to pay for an actual rigged poll, they could have just stated that 72% of Americans support Obama's Health Care Plan and claim it was from an anonymous but unimpeachable source like they often do with news stories they pull straight out of their cheeks.

I'll bet they regret firing Jason Blair now.

"I'll bet they regret firing Jason Blair now" lol, Jason was just ahead of the curve.

"50 percent of respondents thought the government would do a better job providing medical coverage than private insurers"

Laughable. The big difference between government and the private sector is that government can use force. The use of force is not a solution to any problem in the world except as an instance of self-defense.
