Bad news for Republicans

Breaking news from The Huffington Post:

"Only hours after the president signed health care reform legislation into law on Tuesday, the immediate political benefits for the Democratic Party are already coming into focus."

"According to a Gallup/USA Today poll conducted the day after health care legislation passed the House of Representatives, 49 percent of the respondents think the passage of reform is a 'good thing,' compared to the 40 percent who think it is bad."

So there you have it, for all the Republicans, "Tea Baggers", Glenn Beck, Rush "Porkulus" Limbaugh and anyone and everyone else who has railed or is railing about the new Health Care Reform Act that the President signed into law today, in spite of what you think about it, the American people were for it, are for it and think it's a good idea.

The fact is, our health care system is badly broken and it needed fixing.

It would have been nice if we had a better fix than this but so it goes. At least we got this much repair.

Now, go away. Take your defeat, be quiet, be good little boys and girls, get with and behind America and behave yourselves.

We have other problems to fix, too.
