Poll: Ryan Health Plan Would be Worse, 57%-34% - Bloomberg
Why is no one reporting on this poll except Bloomberg.

By a margin of 57 percent to 34 percent, poll respondents say they would be worse off if Ryan’s plan to convert Medicare to a system of subsidized private health coverage were adopted. Fifty-eight percent of independents, a critical voting bloc in recent elections, say they would be worse off.

President Barack Obama’s new health-care law gets a more favorable reaction. The poll of 1,000 adults found that 51 percent of all Americans say that while the law may need modification, it shouldn’t be repealed, and another 11 percent say it should be left alone. That compares with 35 percent who want the new law overturned.

So much for the GOP meme that the “vast majority” of the American people want the Democratic plan repealed.

4. The MSM is VERY FOND of That Brainwashed 35%…

…because they believe EVERYTHING the Tee Vee says. To them, the Tee Vee IS reality.

Run an ad for some product, and these people rush right out to buy it (or at least they try to, their credit cards tend to be maxed-out).
Of course they always vote the way the Tee Vee tells them to, which gives the owners of the Tee Vee networks great power.

They have been trying everything they can to make everyone else more like that 35%, so they are always telling us that THEY are the "real" Americans.
