Can we get an RCP avg daily now AK and/or Jem?
SC health care ruling will be any day now and the difference in the polls before and after the decision (give it a week or so to sink in) will give us a good indication of the damage that Obama and the dems did to themselves by passing that piece of shit mandate..
the very idea of an individual healthcare mandate originated from the conservative think-tank The Heritage Foundation. But donât take my word for it, read about it here.
Moreover, many prominent conservatives have supported the use of the individual healthcare mandate. Some noteworthy conservatives who have supported individual healthcare mandates are:
-President George H. W. Bush (source 1 and source 2)
-Speaker Newt Gingrich R-GA (source)
-Senator Orrin Hatch R-UT (source)
-Senator Charles Grassley R-Iowa (source)
-Senator Bob Bennett R-UT (source)
-Senator Christopher Bond R-Missouri (source)
-Senator John Chafee R-RI (source)
-Rep. Bill Thomas R-CA (source)
-And at least 16 other GOP Senators who have since retired from the Senate (source)
