Democrats now backing away from Obamacare
US Finance Post ^ | 2/23/14 | Jack Minor

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said in November that Democrats would enthusiastically run on Obamacare in the mid-term elections and it would be a winning issue, however it appears that Democratic candidates have not gotten the memo and are attempting to distance themselves from Obamacare rather than embrace it.

Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee said in November, “You’re darn right that our candidates are going to run on the advantage that Obamacare will be going into the 2014 election. The choice will be very clear.”

**SNIP**

However, individual candidates who know they have to face the voters in November appear to be taking a different approach and are now backing away from proudly voting for the law.

However, the problem Democrats have is that they are still stuck with the fact that at the time the Affordable Care Act was passed not a single Republican voted for the law and it was passed solely by Democrats. This means for good or bad, the Democrats effectively own the issue.

Eat it, RATS.

Perhaps Nancy Pelosi needs to tell her people to embrace the suck again.

Putting aside the fact that I think the GOP pretty much relying on the anti-Obamacare vote is an absolute loser, candidates will adjust their positions based on constituents. These are Dims running in Red States. They don’t want us, they just want the fight leaners.

She probably feels comfy in her district. It’s probably similar in progressive overload as is Pelosi’s.

Democrat senate incumbents who are up for re-election and voted for husseincare are running commercials ATTACKING it like they had nothing to do with it becoming law.

It's jaw dropping to watch, they figure they can fool enough morons to keep their seat.

“It’s jaw-dropping to watch, they figure they can fool enough morons to keep their seat.”

And they’ll do that with the help of the Progressive media and all the other institutions infested with Progressives.

It’s not only jaw-dropping, but tragic, disgusting, subversive and now in the realm of dangerous.

IMHO

Obamacrats wanted it. Let their political futures live and die with it. They were warned. When the Obamacrats admit they screwed up, and do something about it, like repealing their unaffordable, dangerously harmful fascist crap, I’ll say good on em’, and never vote for idiots like them.

Senator Landrieu of Louisiana isn’t backing away from it. She said as recently as December that if she had to do it all over again, she would vote for it again.

Before this election season is over, no Democrats will have voted for Obamacare, and it will be all the Republicans' fault.
