IBD:
...
The media, always rushing to protect statist schemes, have joined Democrats in warning opponents to stay away from the repeal effort. Expect both politicians and pundits to act as if congressional Republicans are nigh on committing treason.
"This week's health care debate," writes the Washington Post's E.J. Dionne in his Sunday column, "will put (Speaker John) Boehner and the Republicans on the defensive."
ABC News Political Director Amy Walter started the New Year by claiming on "Good Morning America" that "if Republicans decide that they're going to spend the first six months of this year going over and debating ... ObamaCare, whatever they want to call it, I think that is not going to sit very well with the electorate."
Strange musings, considering polls show most Americans do not like what Democrats did to overhaul the health care system, and want it repealed. Preliminary results from January's IBD/TIPP Poll indicate that the repeal or defunding of ObamaCare is a high priority of 41% of Americans and a low priority for 27%.
Public opposition to government health care isn't all the political and media left are unwilling to understand. On NBC's "Today" show Thursday morning, Meredith Vieira asked Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., why Republicans wanted to make repeal an issue when it would likely be blocked in the Democratic Senate or White House.
...
Voters want the health care law repealed and they deserve to know which representatives are blocking it so they can vote against them in 2012 they way they voted against supporters of the bill in 2010. Republicans were elected to stop the Democrats liberal agenda and this vote is a good start.
