If the republicans dont stand their ground then there might as well not be a house, let it just be the senate, or for that matter get rid of the lower and upper houses all together, just let Obama be Emperor of the new American Socialist Empire, because thats what it will be, a liberal socialist pile of drek that will make the Soviet Union look like a McDonalds Playland.
What?

Just flat what?
The United States is in no danger of turning Soviet. Quite frankly, that statement is rediculous - to the point where I'd almost call it a joke. There're many flaws with the ACA, but SOCIALISM isn't one of them. It's almost anti-socialist, but specifically requiring people to buy a privately sold product.
Finally. The first duty of a Government is not to blindly stick to their guns to the bitter end - it's to do what's necessary to actually govern the bloody country and keep the whole edifice ticking over. Ideology is a nice thing to have, but the reality of governance is that the basic interests of the country should come first. The houses are 2-1 against them... arguably this is a fair mandate against their position.
Also. 40% in favour?
How many outright disfavour.... I doubt it's 60%
How many don't know's are in there? Taken in that context, it makes more sense. Never mind that a lot of these questions are crock anyway - they're always leading.
