Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

CNN polls 27% more Dems and finds, as sheer luck would have it, more Dem support for ObamaCare!

Details:

Two out of three Americans who watched President Barack Obama’s health care reform speech Wednesday night favor his health care plans — a 14-point gain among speech-watchers, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll of people who tuned into Obama’s address Wednesday night to a joint session of Congress.
…
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted just before and just after the president’s speech, with 427 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey’s sampling error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.  (Really?  A whopping 27% oversample, and your margin of error is only 5%? – Ed.)

The sample of speech-watchers in this poll was 45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican. Our best estimate of the number of Democrats in the voting age population as a whole indicates that the sample is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole.

Nope…no liberal media bias!

“You lie!”

Many of you are familiar with the story by now.  During B.O.’s health care pitch last night, the prez lied through his teeth when he said that criminal aliens would not be covered by his health plan.  We know that’s not true.

Joe Wilson (R-SC) interjected “You lie!“  He’s right.  But was that the proper forum for the outburst?

I contend that it was not the right place or the right time.  While I detest the policies of B.O. and his minions running the Congress, I’m still naive enough to believe that the office of the president still deserves respect, regardless of whether its current occupant deserves it.

The left’s and the MSM’s (pardon the redundancy) reaction, though, is telling.  The Dems booed and heckled Bush during his 2005 SOTU speech.  No apologies, as far as I know.  But be that as it may, I’d like to think the good guys (for those of you on the left, “good guys” is not you) show more restraint and maturity than that.

Your thoughts are welcome.
