POLL: Only 34% support repeal of Affordable Care Act, Majority support taxes on rich before cuts.

Support for one of the party’s central tenets is declining, with just 34 percent of the country now favoring repeal of President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul, down from 41 percent six months ago. Republicans support repeal, while political independents and Democrats don’t.

A 51 percent majority says a special congressional committee considering how to reduce the federal deficit by $1.5 trillion should opt to raise taxes on higher-income earners before curbing entitlements such as Medicare or Social Security, rejecting Republican pledges against tax increases. Almost six of 10 say the panel must do one or the other to meet its deficit-cutting goal.

“Taxes are at the heart of the controversy because Americans hold two conflicting views,” said J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. “In the abstract, they’d rather cut than raise taxes. But in the context of near-term goals to cut the deficit, they prefer raising taxes to cutting entitlements.”

3. ... and they also want reproductive care, including abortion for simple CHOICE .. !!!

No wonder the US Catholic Bishops were holding meetings with Pelosi -- and a

call came from Rome --

Catholics are walking out on the church and the only way to try to regain control

over them reproduction and women is for the US Catholic Bishops to get government

to do it for them!
