| CBS "Socialized Medicine" Poll Is Total Scam |
| 2007-03-03 |
| Here comes more push polling from seeBS. Poll: The Politics Of Health Care Most Americans Favor Universal Health Care, Give Democrats Edge On Improving System Once again, they oversample Democrats and "Independents" to get the message they desire. Total Respondents: 1281 Total Republicans: 357 Total Democrats: 440 Total Independents: 484 Total Registered Voters: 1130 So it should be no surprise theyÂ’re reporting that "most Americans" want some form of socialized healthcare systemÂ… or that "most Americans" favor the Democrats to improve the healthcare system. I just surveyed registered voters here in my house and it appears 100% think this poll is full of crap. |

#15 If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free.-- P. J. O'Rourke, 6 May 1993. |

| #14 Given all the facts, most Americans will favor regulated private medicine, with public funding for those who are disabled or who have been caught in a financial bind. And that IS an inclusivist system. That is: Americans - contrary to Euro-think - support universal care, with regard to affordability. I have heard stories of UK fraudsters who claim to be heroin addicts, so that they can peddle their state supplied heroin. A system that allows that is universal, in stupidity. |

| #13 Remember - we ALL have the "1776" option. It's not as easy as it used to be, but the option is still on the table. Yeah. And it isn't as difficult as you might believe either. With the right coordination and organization, it could be over in an eye blink. Just sayin'. |

| #12 Remember - we ALL have the "1776" option. It's not as easy as it used to be, but the option is still on the table. Donks and Trunks alike should keep that in mind. Any attempt to eliminate that option will trigger it. |

| #11 true, Jan, but they never want to tell us the true bottom line on feeding, caring, educating, and curing Illegals, cuz they know the uproar it would cause |

| #10 we already ARE paying for illegal aliens health care. And no I'm not willing to do so, but what can I do about it. I hate how our system has been failing us in such a catastrophic way. Our elected officials haven't been listening to us, they have been following the money. socialized medicine would be a big mistake. With these carefully orchestrated polls controlling our future we're all screwed. I'm sorry for this attitude, I'm usually a very positive thinking person. But with all of this crap being piled on top of us, it makes it harder to find the perverbial pony. |

| #9 And the sampling is not enough, either. They weight the sample away from the Trunks. See page 22 at the complete report on the poll. I think I took part in this poll, but if it ever happens again, I'll identify myself as an independent, so my choices will get more, not less, weight. |

| #6 All democrats should be euthanized within one year of retirement, preferably before the end of October. This plan would reduce the Social Security burden while doing no real harm. |

| #5 Alternative phrasing: "would you like John Kerry and Hillary Clinton to make all your health-related decisions instead of you? under what conditions would they be allowed to withhold treatment from you, or euthanize you?" |

| #4 No the real question is "Should the state own your body"? That's what State Treatment Rationing Schemes really mean. |

| #3 and: "are you willing to pay, say... $5,000 to provide health care for illegal ALIEN children?" |
| Posted by: Frank G 2007-03-03 10:07 |
| #2 What if the question were: "Would you be in favor of every man, woman and child going on Medicare right now?" |

| #1 And the avoided the obvious follow on question - Are you willing to pay over 50% of your earned income in taxes to support such socialized medicine? |
