A prediction re: Dem strategy in Nov
Posted on 4/6/14 at 11:37 am
Posted on 4/6/14 at 11:37 am
I was thinking about the Dem talking points used by Dem's running for re-election in Nov. Specifically in vulnerable seats due to public dissatisfaction with Obamacare.
The basic line is "It's not what I voted for. It needs to be fixed."
I don't think this line is gonna fly against a GOP opponent who can counter with "Not a single member of my party voted for it. Obamacare is their baby. Send a message. Vote for me."
Here is my prediction. Come Sept when the polling data gets serious some Dems who see the handwriting on the wall and fear that losing is inevitable will come out and say ....
"I voted for it. I realize now it was a mistake. It's a total mess. And if you re-elect me I promise that I will vote for repealing Obamacare. I will even introduce the bill calling for repeal myself."
Why not? Obama and fellow Dems will know that you are not endangering his signature legislation because a repeal passing the House and Senate will just be vetoed by the President.
Thoughts? Mary perhaps?

If it's not what they voted for it's because their party's president keeps illegally and arbitrarily changing the law.
If they can't or won't stand up to him then they need to be repealed and replaced with a Senator who can and will stand up to Obama and his regime.
Mary isn't standing up for Louisiana against Obama. She's standing with Obama against Louisiana a state that voted against and twice rejected him and his Obamacare.

I'd never vote for anyone again that passed sweeping legislation under their constituents' noses without even reading the damn bill.
This is their problem. No matter how they spin it, they never dead the bill. It's on record from that whore's mouth that thinks this bill is the best ever enacted. The ACA is their baby. Let them burn at the stake for creating it.

Following the Obama practice of lying to get elected.

I think you're right about the "fix it" strategy. I don't see any of them going whole hog with the repeal it route though. If Manchin from West Virginia was up for reelection in the senate I could possibly see him calling for a repeal.

Not a bad prediction, Zach. What the hell else are they gonna do?
God help us all if enough people fall for it, though.

Good luck finding those who will actually own their mistakes. I think the "7M+" signups will actually help them...........b/c people are too dumb to realize what is actually IN those numbers.

It might work for them.
Obviously, convincing the average lib voter that being $17T in debt and collapsing the economy is a bad thing hasn't resonated.

Here's their big problem. It's not like this steaming pile of dogsh!t passed with a few votes to spare.
Each and everyone one of these scumbags who voted for this crap cast the SOLE AND DECIDING VOTE.
They EACH OWN IT in its entirety.
That's why the administration is coming out with all these lies about 7.1 million signing up, and how it's a success.
It's also why many parts have been delayed. Wait until people see what their real premiums, copays and deductibles are going to be.

Dem strategies in Nov:
1. Lie, lie, lie
2. Cheat, cheat, cheat
3. Voter fraud, voter fraud, voter fraud

A few days ago Chris Matthews said that anyone suggesting that Obama fudged the 7 million number is a 'Birther.'
