We Are All "Fearmongers" Now !

Well, if Barack Obama says so. Seems like a lot of folks are distrustful of the Democrat's claims that we can simultaneously defeat "global warming" and add "millions of new jobs" with a tax that is not a tax and that will apparently not be felt by anyone anywhere:

Americans have mixed feelings about the historic climate change bill that passed the House on Friday, but 42% say it will hurt the U.S. economy. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 19% believe the climate change bill passed by the House on Friday will help the economy. Fifteen percent (15%) say it will have no impact, and 24% are not sure.”

Wow - I never would have guessed that 42% of all Americans are fear-mongering, traitorous Neaderthals! And only 19% of the population is truly "progressive" in their beliefs! Or perhaps "incredibly stupid" might be the best way to describe our 19-percenters....

Related (and soon to be extremely relevent):

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 41% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 39% would choose the Democratic candidate.”

Also related, although a new "Fairness Doctrine" can quickly be pushed thru Congress - unread, of course - to fix this quickly:

Since Obama came into office, Fox has continued not only winning, but doing so at unprecedented levels. As the Hollywood Reporter noted last week, the network is having its ‘best year yet,’ with the competition in the ratings shifting from not only the news networks but all of basic cable. Indeed, Fox came in 3rd this quarter, behind only USA and TNT.”

Maybe the nation is not the compliant sheeps that our media are trying to lead us to believe? Let's see how Obama's policy prescriptions (and Court nominees) fare over what may be a long, hot summer for the Left...
