The problem isn’t GOP PR spin. It’s that GOP PR spin isn’t able to break through the wall thrown up by the Dem’s fellow travellers in the MSM.
So the question is, what do we want to talk about between now and the election? The GOP shutting down the government,the GOP sending the government into default, or Obamacare?
With Obamacare being the ONLY issue that the Dems and MSM can’t effectively blame the GOP for.
“So the question is, what do we want to talk about between now and the election? The GOP shutting down the government,the GOP sending the government into default, or Obamacare?”
I’m okay with Obamacare being the message. But what is the GOP message? They nominated the architect of Obamacare (Romney) to be the presidential candidate in 2012. John McCain one day says it can’t be repealed and the next day calls for total repeal. Olympia Snow could have blocked its passage in committee but voted to let the bill out of committee so the entire Senate could vote on it (knowing it would pass). Ted Cruz tries to filibuster but has the rug pulled out from under him by other GOP Senators.
I have a feeling the GOP establishment is happy with Obamacare. The multinational corporations and Wall Street bankers they depend on for campaign contributions certainly want the government to assume the cost of employer funded healthcare. I perceive the fight to be more token resistance than a real effort. Certainly the message (to the extent there is a message) comes in spurts. We don’t hear the ongoing and relentless daily pounding we get from the Democrats when they are pushing an issue.
