Maybe you or one of your winger colleagues can explain this one to me. Yesterday, on the aniversary of Obamacare, may the Lord be praised and our gratitude to President Obama remain intact, John Boehner of crying and mystic tan fame, tweeted the following: .@CNN survey: 1 yr later, job-crushing ObamaCare remains as unpopular as ever bit.ly #hcrcostsjobs He is saying that Obamacare remains unpopular with the masses citing the poll at the above link. Well if you go to the link he so generously provided, this is what the polls says: "Thirty-seven percent of Americans support the measure, with 59 percent opposed. That's basically unchanged from last March, when 39 percent supported the law and 59 percent opposed the measure. "It's worth remembering that opposition to the bill came from both the left and the right last year, and that has not changed either," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "In 2010, about a quarter of the health care bill's opponents disliked the bill because it was not liberal enough - the same as today. That works out to 13 percent of all Americans who oppose the bill because it did not go far enough. Forty-three percent oppose it because it was too liberal." politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com Now if you read the poll carefully, it becomes clear that 37% support the bill while 13% wanted the bill to be stronger for a total of 50% of Americans or half the population supports universal health care. Only 43% see the bill as too liberal.....less than half the country. So explain to me why Boehner, the smoking drunk, would link his supporters to that poll? Is it because he's stupid, too lazy to read the details and figure it out, or is he trying to flim flam his supporters, hoping they won't read the fine print? The rest of you wingers feel free to help Ten out.....if you can.

O'Keefe Says He Racked Up 'Major Credit Card Debt,' Needs To Raise $50K Ryan J. Reilly \| March 23, 2011, 10:45AM tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com Conservative provocateur James O'Keefe, fresh off his sting operation aimed at NPR, "must raise $50,000 quickly to keep moving forward" he said in an e-mail to supporters. "Up 'til now, my friends and I have financed all of our work on our own -- running up major credit card debt," O'Keefe writes. "We made a lot of sacrifices -- personally and financially -- because we fight for what we believe in." "But, now we've hit a wall. This has gotten a lot bigger than we ever imagined. The multi-billion dollar major media Goliath is embarrassed by their failure to make a meaningful impact like we have -- that's why they're attacking us," he writes. "It cost us about $50,000 when all is said and done to produce the NPR video," O'Keefe said. "If you help us raise over $50,000, it will go toward our next video -- after we pay off our credits cards, of course." "If you help us pass $100,000 -- we can do two new videos..." O'Keefe said. "...And if by some chance, we raise $1,000,000 -- we could expose 20 disturbing cases of government abuse and corruption. But, all I'm worried about is $50,000 right now." "Give what you can and take the Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics. America needs The Project Veritas to grow quickly. But, we can't continue, much less grow, unless we receive financial support soon." The survey implores readers to donate and ask questions like "Do you think the mainstream media will have to embrace the tactics used by James O'Keefe's The Project Veritas to be credible in the future?" "We're ready and waiting to expose more government corruption. But -- it all comes down to money," O'Keefe writes in the e-mail to supporters. Check out the full e-mail here.
