Hi Matt,
Thanks for your information(see below). In the spirit of sharing the truth, I went to the Kaiser Foundation poll and I thought it might be proper to include the following poll information. Here is the site if you would like to put it out there so everyone can see it and all its contents, http://kff.org/health-reform/poll-finding/march-2013-tracking-poll/ .
I found the 10 point difference in Party Identification in favor of the Democrats telling. So much for balanced polls.
Here is a quote from the beginning of the poll that is self explanatory;
“Though opinion on the law overall remains nearly evenly divided, opponents’ attacks seem to have taken a toll on the public’s expectations, and Americans are now more likely to think the law will make things worse and not better for their own families. While most of the law’s individual provisions remain popular, many of the most well-liked elements are the least well-known among the public.”
Further into the poll, I found a part entitled Parts More Popular Than The Whole, which was very interesting. What it comes down to is that in poll after poll, Obamacare is a disaster and is not wanted. I believe that all the special treatment Obama has given to his political allies such as unions, Wall Street, big business and others does not sit well with the American people and is taking a toll. The rules of Obamacare apply to the American people, but not to him, his family or political allies. By the way, if Obamacare is so great, then why isn’t the president and his family on it? The fact is that Obama is breaking the law. How; by waving his royal hand to stop the employer mandate (tax), or makes it so congress only pays 25% of their premium, while the rest of congress’ premium is off on our backs. I thought laws were to be followed. It is called a law for one reason…it is a law. Obamacare is such a bad law that he has to change it mid stream even though the constitution DOES NOT give him the authority.
As far as the Tea Party “owning” the results.. I don’t know about that one, for I have not seen any real “results” yet. The results, I’ve seen are Obama, with a wave of his royal hand, taking down the nationwide Amber Alert while keeping “Mouchcelle” Obama’s exercise website up, or allowing the AFL-CIO and the SEIU (Unions) along with their illegal immigrants onto the Mall while denying WWII vets, who are at the end of their lives, to visit the WWII Memorial, or kicking an elderly couple in their 70s out of their home because it is on Federal land….etc, etc. well, that is all the Democrats and King Obama’s “ownership.
ABSOLUTELY speaking for myself, as a Tea Party guy, I will own that this government is run by Socialist, who wish nothing but harm to the fabric of our country and want a Socialists’ America. Again, I am very proud of the people and groups that have worked for the vast number of Americans to bring our country back to a constitutional republic. I can tell you what else I would “own”; I would gladly “own” seeing this King stopped in his tracks, along with his horrible attempt to control the nation through such disasters as Obamacare, Common Core, as well as his overwhelming regulations and corrupt IRS, etc..
Did you know that the majority of Americans today are more conservative than back in 1952? That is a great sign, for we are standing for true conservatism that was at our founding, which will again become the predominate movement of my time, and forward. We, as Americans, have learned our lessons about vigilance.
One last thing, in the future, why don’t you include the poll website so your readers can see the whole product. Also, I love your use of the word “ransom”…just like our King Obama.
Why we are on the subject of polls, here is some information about another poll you might want to give the people of Florida.
POLLS
Speaking of polls, have you seen the recent NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll ? You know the one; it blamed all that is bad on those evil Republicans. Let’s take a look and let’s factor in the poll’s partisan sample, which was 43-32 Democrat, the percent that admits voting for Obama, which was 44 versus just 35 for Romney. Nevertheless, we do have government workers heavily sampled, by more than twice the real percentage of Americans who work for the government and this looks like a left-heavy sample. This fits with 3 of the 4 richest counties in America surround DC. UNSCREWED POLLS???? It’s a government poll!!
Here is the complete poll with the sample, the questions, etc. On the very last page we get the breakdown of where the 800 respondents work.
One last thing; another poll I didn’t see reported in Florida Today or other minor or major newspapers, is the AP poll I found earlier this week: OBAMA JOB APPROVAL 37%! . This is in spite of the malpractice media running interference for him. This is very heartening for it means Americans are finding the truth and bringing it to light, regardless of the malpractice media and their tricks, distortions and lies. I distinctly remember Florida Today and other minor and major newspapers along with CNN,NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC repeatedly trumpeting when Bush’s poll number hit 36%. How come not the same for our King?

Ham,
Just so you have the info…
When polled provision by provision on Obamacare, strong majorities of Americans supported 10 out of 11 of them, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll found (a majority opposes the individual mandate). Chart:
The same morning my column appeared, the New York Times published this article, revealing the “blueprint” and months of planning for the GOP’s effort to ransom a repeal of Obamacare in exchange for a vote on a budget resolution. They picked the fight knowing a government shut-down was a likely outcome.
Note that the talking point about Republicans passing a plan “to keep the government running” and Democrats refusing to negotiate comes from a PR “toolkit” distributed to the Tea Party caucus more than a month ago.
Here’s the actual strategy, signed by a coalition including Freedomworks, Heritage Action, etc.

Tea Partiers picked the fight. They own the results.
