Not scientific but this is the results of a poll on Facebook.

Should the U.S adopt a Universal Heath Care system?
NO - 10,113 (69.2%)
YES - 4,420 (30.2%)
I really don't care - 80 (0.5%)

Facebook is no Liberal bastion.
... credit will go to whites, not blacks. The Democrats have every right to take the black vote for granted. After all, they bought and paid for it. The black community is by and large hooked on the narcotic of Big Government and they overwhelmingly believe the lies put out by the Dems and the race hustlers that Republicans are "racist". If I were a Democrat I'd certainly not work very hard for the black vote unless there was some indication that black Americans started thinking for themselves and begin to notice how Democrat policies have, and continue to harm blacks.
By way of example here's how government drives up the cost of living and makes our lives increasingly tenuous: the just passed Cap & Trade legislation nationalizes California's stringent building codes and imposes them on the other 49 states. This will drive up the cost of housing therefore making the American Dream harder to achieve for more Americans. It will only be a matter of time before Barney Frank et al complain about the lack of affordable housing. A situation they themselves caused.
