"Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health carereform
proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured," writes Pollster Scott Rasmussen.
"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan."
Interestingly, support is strongest among young voters and weakest.... among the elderly? Wait -- if there were no waiting lines, death panels, or rationing, why would the elderly be against health care reform?
Perhaps the truth of the matter is that Americans maybe largely divided between the responsible, rational, prudent citizens, and the irresponsible, feelings-driven, irrational citizens -- a division that often falls along the lines of adult vs. youth just as in the 1960s.
Perhaps we should trust the wisdom of our elderly, many of whom are members of that greatest generation who sacrificed so valiantly for our freedom.
