Most Pennsylvanians are Right Wing Extremists
If one listens to analysts in the mainstream media, anyone calling for a repeal of the federal health care law, or supporting a state immigration law like Arizona’s is on the “extreme right wing” of American politics.
But according to the latest Rasmussen poll of Pennsylvanians (Part I and Part II), more than half of voters support an Arizona-style immigration law. A whopping 71% think police officers should be required to check immigration status of anyone stopped for another reason. And 61% of Pennsylvania voters support a repeal of the federal health care legislation.

| Suppose a police officer stops someone for a traffic violation or a violation of some other law. If the police officer suspects that the person they stopped might be an illegal immigrant, should the officer be required to check their immigration status? | 71% | 18% | 11% |
| Repeal of the Federal Health Care Bill | 61% | 35% | 4% |

Indeed, support of repealing the federal health care “reform” law has been increasing as voters find out more of what is in the bill. Most recently, NFIB joined a lawsuit of 20 state attorneys general. I wrote about that lawsuit here and on other ways to repeal the bill here. For more CF resources on health care, click here.
