Shock Poll: 55% of Country Now Officially Racist

And by "racist" I mean they disapprove of Obama's stupid dickheaded health care "reforms."

One week after President Obama’s speech to Congress, opposition to his health care reform plan has reached a new high of 55%. The latest Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll shows that just 42% now support the plan, matching the low first reached in August.

A week ago, 44% supported the proposal and 53% were opposed. Following the speech last Wednesday night intended to relaunch the health care initiative, support for the president’s effort bounced as high as 51% (see day-by-day numbers). But the new numbers suggest that support for health care reform is now about the same as it was in August.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Democrats now support the plan while 80% of Republicans are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 67% are opposed.

The latest figures show that, overall, 23% Strongly Favor the plan and 44% are Strongly Opposed. In late August, those figures were 23% and 43% respectively.

Hey, I know what can turn these numbers around -- insulting people some more! Maybe they can craft some kind of "compromise proposal" of calling people racists which isn't quite as offensive as calling them racists, like "krakkers."

Meanwhile, Snowe's out and won't support the Baucus compromise; and yes, Baucus' bill of course slashes Medicare and Medicaid spending.

From Craig's list of cowbell songs, the thematically appropriate "Dr. Feelgood," for the doctor who's going to give you pain pills instead of actual treatment.
