Obamacare Is a Fitting Noose Around Democrats' Necks

Pollster Celinda Lake's advice to fellow Democrats to take a midway position in the 2014 congressional campaigns is flawed because it can't be sold as honest.

Reacting to results from her bipartisan Battleground Poll that show Obamacare to be a political loser, Lake said: "Don't defend it. Say it was flawed from the beginning and we're going to fix it."

Note that she didn't advise to reject it outright, apparently because she knows that's never going to fly with Obama and the Democratic establishment and probably because it would be tantamount to an admission that the party has failed in its central policy "achievement."

But her advice to adopt a middle-of-the-road position is not much different. To say the law was flawed from the beginning is a damning admission, especially considering how inflexible the Democrats were when they crammed this albatross through Congress.

I just read a story reminding us that Democrats had a chance to try a more moderate approach in 2009, when then-Sen. Max Baucus warned that Democrats "could ram through a health care overhaul on a partisan vote" but "wouldn't be able to sustain it." But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ended up scuttling Baucus' attempt to scale back the bill. So Democrats had a chance to moderate it, but they went full-bore defiance and stuffed it down our throats.

How is it going to play now if they say the following? "We see now the error of our ways; we shouldn't have been so extreme. Give us another chance, because we only want to help you."

The candidates in Michigan are running GREAT ads featuring real people who have been hurt by Obamacare. Why in the heck the GOP isn’t out there every single day and every single hour pounding the crap out of it is no mystery...they want it.

I like the term Obamacrats—We should use it to link all the Liberal Democrates to Obama Care, Obama Lies, and Obama Governance.

Thanks, I think 0bamacrat is very fitting. They have ceased to be anything but shills and rubber stamps for 0bama’s destroy-America campaign. Their lockstep support and vote for 0bamaCare being the supreme example.

So far it has cost millions upon millions of people their jobs. Democrats in congress have exempted themselves from obamacare.

The unions too, the muslim and amish religions are exempted, but Little Sisters of the poor, Hobby Lobby, all non profit Catholic hospitals, no way pay you sucker Christians, we will fight you all the way to the Supreme court.
