A newspaper in Rochester, Minnesota (yes, my backyard extends 250 miles to the southeast) is running dueling editorials by a pro health care local Democrat and a Satan-spawned humanity-hating Republican on the issue of the current health care reform bill. As usual, they run a poll. Please do shock&awe them, OK?
Do you support passage of the House health care reform bill?
Yes 31.59%
No 68.41%
It's not a good poll, but they never are. I want an option to say I don't support it because it is insufficiently socialist.
