It turns out that the "73% support ObamaCare" talking point comes from a poll by the notoriously unreliable New York Times and CBS which polled twice as many Obama supporters as McCain supporters. However, Obama only got 53% not 66% of the vote. Clearly, such a poll overstates support for ObamaCare.
Is anybody surprised that the New York Times once again made up imaginary "facts" to support its own biases? Considering that paper's record, going back to the 1930s when it denied the Soviet Holodomor genocide (the Marxist "journalist" who wrote those false reports was rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize, of course) to a few years ago when it was one of the leading supporters of Mike Nifong in his crusade to throw 3 Duke lacrosse players in jail based on the lies of a delusional stripper. The New York Times has an "expert" on economics who actually called for the Fed to create the housing bubble (of course, he won the Nobel in economics last year for his brilliant advice).
Apparently, when the facts aren't the way the Times wants them to be, the Times simply makes up their own "facts" to report instead of the actual facts. Fortunately, this dinosaur newspaper will be going out of business soon. That day cannot come soon enough.
