This is the shit that makes me laugh everytime I see it. Here's another rhetorical question for ya: How many of those people have actually read and studied the bill and therefore have any clue what the fuck their opinion is actually based on?
I'm not saying I support the bill, or even the concept of universal health care - I just think it's hilarious when I see poll numbers from "average Americans" who 9/10 times don't have any clue what they're talking about.
How many times when you see poll numbers do you actually look at the actual questions asked, and the way they are asked and the demographics of the people asked and the timing of the questions asked, and the order of the questions asked and the....on and on. Poll numbers mean absolutely nothing because they are too easily manipulated.
Besides, we don't live in a democracy, we live in a representative republic. Our so-called esteemed forefathers didn't want commoners voting directly on issues because they knew most people are retarded and "know not what they speak of". They also didn't want women or minorities voting either. Regardless of how you think you feel about the issues (shaped no doubt, by the media you choose to consume), have you actually read the bill? Or any bills for that matter?
