I THINK IT IS REMARKABLE THAT WITHIN A WEEK OF TIGER WOODS CRASHING HIS ESCALADE, THE PRESS FOUND EVERY WOMAN WITH WHOM TIGER HAS HAD AN AFFAIR IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, WITH PHOTOS, TEXT MESSAGES, RECORDED PHONE CALLS, ETC. AND, THEY NOT ONLY KNEW THE CAUSE OF THE FAMILY FIGHT, BUT THEY EVEN KNEW IT WAS A WEDGE FROM HIS GOLF BAG THAT HIS WIFE USED TO BREAK OUT THE WINDOWS IN THE ESCALADE. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY KNEW WHICH WEDGE! AND EACH AND EVERY DAY, THEY GAVE AMERICA MORE UPDATES ON HIS SEX-REHAB STAY, HIS WIFE'S PLANS FOR DIVORCE, AND THE DATES AND TOURNAMENTS HE WILL PLAY IN. OBAMA HAS BEEN IN OFFICE FOR 2 Years NOW, AND THIS SAME PRESS STILL CANNOT FIND ANY OF HIS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS OR NEIGHBORS, OR LOCATE ANY OF OBAMA'S COLLEGE PAPERS OR GRADES, OR HOW HE PAID FOR A HARVARD EDUCATION, OR WHICH COUNTRY ISSUED HIS VISA TO TRAVEL TO PAKISTAN IN THE 1980'S, OR BARRY SOETORO, OR EVEN MICHELLE OBAMA'S, PRINCETON THESIS ON RACISM. THEY JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THEM. YET THE PUBLIC STILL TRUSTS THAT SAME PRESS TO GIVE THEM THE WHOLE TRUTH! TRULY REMARKABLE!!!

Amazing how that colony changed and progressed, although not that they were that backward. The religion thrived. Yet hundreds of years later Muslims are still stoning people to death, honor killing their children and bombing innocents.

Health Care Law 56% Favor Repeal of Health Care Law; 54% Say Law Is Bad for Country Monday, August 23, 2010 Email to a Friend ShareThis.Advertisement Fifty-six percent (56%) of U.S. voters continue to favor repeal of the national health care bill, with 46% who Strongly Favor repeal. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 40% oppose repeal of the health care plan, including 28% who Strongly Oppose it. Interestingly, there is no difference of opinion on this question between voters with health insurance and those without. Last week, support for repeal among all voters hit 60%, the highest level in over a month, but those favoring repeal has ranged from 52% to 63% since the health care law was passed by Congress in March. Opposition to the law remains as high since its passage as it was in the months before the measure became law. Just 36% think the health care plan will be good for the country, while 54% believe its impact will be bad. Belief that the law will be bad for the country is up four points from a week ago and has ranged from a low of 49% to a high of 57%. Those who think the law will be good for America have ranged from 32% to 41%, but that number has risen out of the 30s only twice since April. (Want a free daily e-mail update ? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on August 21-22, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95%level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. Eighty-one percent (81%) of voters with health insurance rate their own coverage as good or excellent. But those voters continue to have mixed feelings when asked if the new health care law will force them to change their coverage. Forty-two percent (42%) say it is at least somewhat likely that passage of the health care law means they will have to change their insurance, with 24% who say it is Very Likely. Forty-six percent (46%) think it is unlikely that they will be forced to change their health insurance coverage, but that includes only 16% who say it is Not At All Likely. Since passage of the law, belief among those with health insurance that they will have to change that coverage has remained in a narrow range of 40% to 44%, while the number of those who do not think a change will be necessary has hovered around the mid-40s. But in February, nearly half (49%) said it was likely they’d have to change health coverage. That number was over 50% in surveys conducted back to June of last year. Republicans and voters not affiliated with either party continue to strongly favor repeal and to believe that the health care measure will be bad for the country. Democrats just as solidly oppose repeal and think the law will be good for America. Voters in all three groups with health insurance give high marks to their existing coverage. But Democrats don’t share the fear that Republicans and unaffiliateds have that they will be forced to change that coverage. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Mainstream voters favor repeal of the health care law. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of the Political Class oppose repeal. With midterm elections less than three months away, nearly two-out-of-three voters (65%) remain at least somewhat angry at the current policies of the federal government, including 40% who are Very Angry. Vaccinations are common requirements for children all over the country in order to attend public school and college, but 52% of Americans are concerned about the safety of vaccinations for children. Nearly half (48%) of voters continue to believe that an abortion is too easy to obtain in this country. Fifteen percent (15%) say it’s too hard to get an abortion in America, and 23% think the level of difficulty is about right.
