Repealing Freedom-Hater-care: it has the post-American people's backing

New poll says 60 percent want the damn thing gone:

McLaughlin & Associates asked 1,000 likely voters:
“Which comes closest to your view of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare? 
“1. It should remain the law of the land, either in its current form or in amended form.
“2. It should be repealed and replaced with a conservative alternative that aims to lower health costs and help people get insurance. 
“3. It should be repealed but not replaced with an alternative.”
Repeal and replace was chosen by a plurality of every age group, every income group aside from those making over $150,000, and both sexes.  Among independents, 62 percent said they support repeal, with 46 percent backing a conservative alternative.  Only 31 percent of independents support keeping Obamacare in its current form or in amended form.  Among those who make between $20,000 and $100,000, 63 percent support repeal, with 48 percent backing a conservative alternative.  Only 30 percent of such voters want to try to salvage Obamacare.
The poll included 38 percent Democrats and 32 percent Republicans.
These results are consistent with straight up-or-down polling on Obamacare during President Obama’s second term.  Over that 20-month span, according to Real Clear Politics, 147 polls have been conducted on Obamacare.  All 147 have found that Americans oppose it, giving Obamacare a second-term record of 0-and-147 — far worse than the 40-120 record of the hapless 1962 New York Mets. 

So here's the memo to the Pub establishment squishes: Knock off the talk about "repair."
