HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

Not The Onion:

It finally happened. A new poll shows a majority that want Obamacare repealed. Sort of. And the Weekly Standard rejoices, with the headline "60 percent of voters want Obamacare to be repealed." Maybe they shouldn't rush to uncork that champagne. Because the pollsters here are McLaughlin & Associates. These guys. There's a track record here, reflected most recently in the internal polling they did for for Eric Cantor, showing him leading by 34 points just before he lost by 11. That's a 45 point error.

But so what if they got Cantor, Gabriel Gomez, Bob Dold, Mitt Romney, Richard Mourdock, George Allen and countless others wrong. They've got to get it right sometime, surely. Well, yeah, when you ask a question like this to get 60 percent approval:

"Would you support or oppose repealing and replacing Obamacare with a conservative alternative that would save $1 trillion, reduce premiums, enhance access to doctors, and increase the number of people with private insurance by 6 million, but would cover 6 million fewer people overall because fewer people would be on Medicaid?"

Amazingly, even using that wording, they still only got 60% to agree with the statement.

Here's some other questions I'd like to see polled:

• "Do you support or oppose having incredible sex with amazingly attractive people with no expectation of committment or responsibilities afterwards?"
• "Do you support or oppose being paid tens of millions of dollars for very little work which you're very skilled at and enjoy doing anyway?"

Yeesh.
