There is no question that Obamacare is a liability for the rats. But there is 8 months before the elections, an eternity in politics. Less than 8 months ago, every pundit in the air was reading the death knell of the republican party because of the "government shutdown." Remember? So who knows what could happen, especially in foreign affairs, in the next 6-8 months.

The “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it” Democrats CAN NOT RUN, HIDE OR LIE their way out of the crap sandwich they gave America.

The Socialist scumbag lying, deceiving Democrat chickens are coming home to roost.

Yes! I thought the same thing. You can’t judge what they are thinking based on what they say because all they do is lie.

But the republicans would have won even bigger if Obamacare was not so popular!

We gave the Democrats a pass on their strongest terrain. It was a good tactical decision, even though many conservatives had been spoiling for a fight we would have lost anyway.

Now this election will be fought on the Democrats’ most vulnerable issue: Obamacare. Its a loser for them all around and they’re struggling to defend an unpopular law they voted for. There’s no way to fix it without undermining it.

I just relish the fact that no upsides are apparent for them here. Its shaping up to be another GOP good “wave” year like in 2010.

WasherWoman Schultz (”I know NOTHING!”) didn’t help in the campaign?

POLITICO is lying again.
What this race showed was the disaster Dems face if the GOPe goes all out in support of conservative candidates they don’t like and don’t want.

The GOPe couldn’t sulk and back-bite when Jolly won the chance to run, this race was too important. So they worked as hard as they could for him, and got a big win.

Onamacare didn’t lose this race for the Dems. Conservatives and RINOs working together did.

Obamacare is an issue because it isn’t working. When the Democrats are running away from it, that tells one all one needs to know.

And the “fix it” approach flopped big time in a Florida swing district.

Remember, its Obama’s signature achievement and its going down the tubes.

Not to be cynical but I remember not too long ago when no one believed O could be re-elected. Lesson, there’s a huge group of losers out there who look to their smartphone for direction.

He wishes Democrats would “be willing to be honest about this legislation and to be willing to point out, and not be defensive, and say what’s good about it and say what we are willing to change.

Honest like they were when they said "if you like your plan, you can keep it"?

They sold the whole idea through outright lies. How can they be trusted now to tell the truth about changing it?

But I do hope they take this line of defense, because it is so easy to poke holes in.

Some senior members of the party say the defeat in a district President Barack Obama won twice means nothing...

If the reporter can't get a name or two on record he needs to leave it out. Too many reporters just make this stuff up...

Their “fix Obamacare (with more money)” meme will improve and be better bolstered by the media before November.
But that won’t do them any good if the GOPe joins with conservatives.

This race proved it.

And if the GOPe doesm’t go all out for conservative candidates the Dem/media ‘fix Obamacare (with more money)’ meme WILL be successful.

The Cuccinelli race proved that.

POLITICO is feeding agitprop. Look at the facts, not the narrative.

“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”

We found out what's in it - it's a toxic stew, costs a fortune and doesn't provide health care.

Why wouldn't people trust democrats after that piece of work?

Democrats can’t even agree whether Obamacare was the reason for their crushing loss in a Florida special election Tuesday.

They're wondering why voter fraud didn't work in this election -- and they're going to make sure it works for the 2014 mid-terms.
