Fast Eddie Rendell is giving the usual excuse that we usually hear from the Dems who have lost or are about to lose, "We didn't get our message out".

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Yeah, it’s the message Eddy. Has nothing to do with policies...

[dead]

Hey Eddie, don't forget also that the masses are just not bright enough to understand the nuanced Dem arguments, which won't fit on a bumpersticker.

Good God, they've been playing this lame song for forty years now. Everytime they take a beating its because they're better and smarter and the people are at fault for not understanding that.

[Slyfox]

It sure is an irritating thing when regular folks in America wake up, ain’t it?

[RobRoy]

When the truth and lies are offered a level playing field, lies don’t have a chance.

The internet is becoming the great equalizer. I don’t have TV, so I see NO political ads. For me it is all about actual information I can easily find on the internet. As more and more people do that, the TRUE stars will rise to the top.

If the web stays truly free, that is.

[Navy Patriot]

Another way to look at it is that the Rats actually did get their message out, but now a majority of the people know it’s outright lies, and they act accordingly.

[swain_forkbeard]

Go back to bemoaning the latest Eagles’ meltdown Ed.

[EternalVigilance]

Translation: We just weren’t effective enough in lying to the American people.

Sorry Ed. They’re on to you and your pals. Lies get old and tired, and always eventually catch up with those who tell them.

[November 2010]

Sure Ed. It’s all about spin. Not 17% unemployment and inflation in food, gas, and medical insurance with no available credit for ordinary people and crashed house prices.

[rrrod]

I saw this POS on Fox today...he is usually a fairly happy type guy...not anymore LOL!

It’s hard to spin a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit when the average American’s income has been steadily dropping. I’m sure the bankers and the unions who got the money were polite enough to buy the spin, though. :)

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

The messaging shift was circulated this afternoon on a conference call and PowerPoint presentation organized by FamiliesUSA — one of the central groups in the push for the initial legislation. The call was led by a staffer for the Herndon Alliance, which includes leading labor groups and other health care allies. It was based on polling from three top Democratic pollsters, John Anzalone, Celinda Lake and Stan Greenberg The confidential presentation, available in full here and provided to POLITICO by a source on the call, suggests that Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. Instead, the presentation is designed to win over a skeptical public and to defend the legislation — in particular, the individual mandate — from a push for repeal.

The presentation concedes that groups typically supportive of Democratic causes — people under 40, non-college-educated women and Hispanic voters — have not been won over by the plan. Indeed, it stresses repeatedly, many are unaware that the legislation has passed, an astonishing shortcoming in the White House's all-out communications effort.

"Straightforward ‘policy’ defenses fail to [move] voters’ opinions about the law," says one slide. "Women in particular are concerned that health care law will mean less provider availability — scarcity an issue."

The presentation also concedes that the fiscal and economic arguments that were the White House's first and most aggressive sales pitch have essentially failed.

"Many don’t believe health care reform will help the economy," says one slide.

The presentation's final page of "Don'ts" counsels against claiming "the law will reduce costs and [the] deficit." (Source: Politico)

[shield]

Well actually.......there are NO jobs out there and it is the economy stupid....that is the message voters have gotten....

[dforest]

The truth is Fast Eddie, you sealed your fate the day you all crammed Socialized medicine down the throats of Americans. You all crowed about it and then pretended you didn’t even read it first.

Epic Fail. Add that foul violation of trust to no jobs and constant union thug support.

EPIC FAIL.

[skr]

Their message was clear enough; we simply didn’t like what we heard.

[Wuli]

TOTAL NONSENSE.

The Obama and Dim message has been totally clear and well-enough articulated, continuously since 2008.

The American people simply do not agree with that message. It fooled some only until its real world application became unavoidable, and detested.

But, leave it to a Liberal like Rendell (a “useful idiot” to the Marxists) to believe that there is NOTHING WRONG with what they think, just something wrong with their presentation. Intellectually, they are sixty-years old dead-meat.

[chesley]

The Democrats can't get their message out clearly and concisely. If they did, they would never win ananother election.

[Oldpuppymax]

No, fast Eddie. The dems problem is the message DID get out in spite of the media’s best efforts to dissemble, misrepresent and bury the better part of what the left has been up to over the past two years or more.

[PogySailor]

Pretty tough to “spin” 10% unemployement and $1T+ deficits as far as the eye can see.

More of the same “the people are to stupid” meme they are passing among themselves.
