Well in this first case 'most Americans' (3 out of 4) actually DISAGREE with the extreme tactics of LINKING the Health Care Act to Government funding:
Poll: Post-shutdown, Congress disapproval at all-time high
by Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Anthony Salvanto and Fred Backus; CBS News -- Oct 22, 2013
Furthermore, Americans disagree with making changes to the health care law in the debt ceiling and government funding agreement. Three in four say the health care law should have been separate from any agreement. Americans across the political spectrum hold this view.
3 out of 4 Americans agree that such extreme-linking tactics should NOT be used. 3 out of 4 people, which equates to
75% of us -- which would certainly qualify as "MOST Americans" -- especially if you borrow a page from Tea Party fantasy-land math, where
they claim that
"THEY are only doing what 'most Americans' want."
In what universe? ... Dr. Seuss', Star Wars', and Duck Dynasty's?
In this next case, most Americans AGREE that they will remember these extreme shutdown tactics, when it comes time for them Vote again. You know, our traditional time for 'most Americans' to express our opinions ...
[from the same recent CBS Poll]
Most Americans say the shutdown will matter when they evaluate their own member of Congress: 75 percent say their member's vote and shutdown position will have a lot or some impact, including 41 percent who say it will matter a lot.
AND when it is time for us to
Vote --
it takes far LESS than 75% of us 'agreeing' to choose our common course. Like it or not GOP --
THAT is what "
listening to the will of the People" is all about. Read a history book.
Here's another 75% case of 'most Americans' re-expressing our 'common wisdom' views:
CNN Poll: 75% say most Republicans in Congress don't deserve re-election
by Paul Steinhauser, CNN Political Editor -- Oct 22, 2013
[...] congressional Republicans are suffering in the wake of the government shutdown, three-quarters of Americans in a new national poll say that most GOP members of Congress don't deserve to be re-elected.
And
what 'most Americans' want -- one of these days --
'MOST Americans' are going to get. Such is the long arc of history.
You can't stop progress -- no matter how last-century, head-in-the-sand, cat-in-the-hat -- that the GOP desperately keeps trying to be.
Because that 'most people' train has already left the station. And guess what GOP -- YOU and your 'distract tactics' are NOT on board -- that 'Majority Opinion' conveyance.
Just ask Dr Cruz.
