Whenever the IRS is involved everyone knows its job is to collect taxes, taxes, taxes. What the IRS will be doing with the health care bill is to collect yet another tax. That is what the IRS does by definition. That is its purpose and has always been so. If voters have a choice to get rid of the IRS out of their lives, it will not be hard to divine what they will choose.
If the health care bill is not a tax, why is the IRS enforcing it?
When people think of the IRS, what first comes to mind? Taxes and nothing but taxes. Then they think of levies, fines and maybe jail. President Obama wants us to believe that the IRS is now going to be concerned about our health. Decades of the worst of abuses of the citizenry by the IRS will not fool the ordinary citizen into thinking this health care bill is good for his health.
Everyone, absolutely everyone, who is told the IRS will make them buy health insurance is conditioned to view the IRS as a tax enforcer. This has been so for many decades. Everyone hates the IRS.
This is not a winnable PR war for the democrats to convince ordinary citizens that the IRS gives a damn about them because it never has. They will never convince people that this health care bill is a gift from heaven when the mafia goons of the IRS are going to break kneecaps if you do not buy the insurance. That is more like extortion. It does not matter which socioeconomic sector an individual comes from. All have had the same universal experiences with the IRS which are terrible to nightmarish.
Obama is a lost cause for the democrats that is costing them the election. They will never convince anyone that the IRS is there to better their health. The IRS is a gruesome, unfair, sadistic organization and 100% of the working population knows it.
The Democrat's PR game is a lost cause before it starts. The democrats are so stupid to think we do not know what is happening when they are sending in the IRS to terrorize the citizenry into compliance. Whether democrat, independent or republican a citizen will know this is a bad deal because that same citizen has had dealings with the IRS and all have been bad. Basically, when dealing with the IRS the proposition is that it wins and the citizen loses regardless of the citizen's case.
Some of you may or may not remember when Hillary Clinton wanted to ram through her version of Obamacare back in 1994. People were so opposed to Hillarycare that the Democrats lost both the House and the Senate for the first time since the 83rd Congress of 1953-1954. Prior to the congressional elections of 1994 no pollster even registered the level of unhappiness the American citizen had with Hillarycare. No pollster had any idea that President Clinton and the Democrats were going to lose on such a grand scale. One of the overriding reasons was that the democrat vote turned against President Clinton in staggering numbers. This author remembers talking to long standing, hard core democrats in 1994 and all said the same thing. They did not want government dictating to them what they could do with their doctors. Democrat women especially were very, very vocal after the 1994 congressional elections that they were appalled at this level of government intrusion. What was shocking was that these ordinary democrats who had voted democrat all their lives did not hesitate to throw their party under the bus on this issue.
The polling data is very clear and consistent on Obamacare. 60% are opposed and 40% are for.
Even If It Survives the Court, the Health Care Law Is Doomed according to Scott Rasmussen.
This data has not changed since democrats rammed Obamacare through the senate in 2010. Add to that the following.
80% Expect Repeal of Health Care Law If Romney Wins , Economy, Health Care Top Voter Concerns , 66% Believe U.S. Has Too Much Government Power, Too Little Freedom , 66% Say Spending Cuts Should be Considered in All Government Programs .
This health care bill is DOA with the American people. It is so clear that the electorate is overwhelmingly opposed to Obamacare. As in 1994, democrats and independents will show up in droves to vote against Obamacare in November. And just as in 1994, the pollsters are either too politically correct to do an honest poll or more likely rebellious democrats are fearful of telling pollsters how they will truly vote in November as they did to defeat Hillarycare in 1994. They already hate this bill 60% against and 40% for. Add the IRS to this equation and we are going to swear in President Romney by 8:00 PM on election night and kill the bill with a simple majority vote in the Senate. No way this has a chance of a snow flake in hell of surviving and neither does President Obama.

That's because it's utter tin foil hat BS.
The States count their own votes, more importantly the Electors elect the POTUS.
Not some voodoo soros owned company in Spain.
YOu think the States (all 57 of them) are going to go along with this??
Hoax
“Romney teams up with Palin.”
Not gonna happen. Romney and his surrogate’s actions during the 2008 election have poisoned that well. Palin will never again trust Romney. Even now, she never speaks Romney’s name. Her attitude is ABO spoken without any Romney endorsement......
Barky’s “you didn’t build that,” remark nails the election for Mitt.
“They will do what they can to keep ‘eyes on’.”
1) Wolf Blitzer, CNN, NBC, ABC,and CBS EXCITEDLY declare Obama winner based on exit polling.
2)15 minutes later - “This could be a cliffhanger, folks.”
3) “Waiting for the last votes from Chicago, Philadelphia and Broward County.”
4)Dejectedly, “Looks like Romney wins in a surprisingly unexpected historic landslide.”
5) “Angry white racist men have voted our Glorious Leader out of office.” Wolf ponders, “What does this say about our country?
That’s how they played the Scott Walker recall election.
If the MSM strings this along, Drudge will call it for Romney just like he did in Wisconsin. He was the first to call it for Walker as the MSM was dragging their feet and he called it within an hour of the polls closing.
I don’t if the black vote stays home... depends on the spin, and if they get another “black” like Clinton.
Here's my prediction, Obama will be lucky to get 40%.
I could not agree more. Basically, Romney will win by the same margin of those against Obamacare. Basically 60% are against Obamacare. In 1994 Democrats and Independents voted against Hillarycare in crushing numbers. Nothing has changed since then.
The bigger fight, and I am not exaggerating, will be to get Republicans to do what we want them to. Republicans in Congress will be the biggest traitors we have to deal with not Democrats. McCain is already starting to reveal his true colors judging from how he is turning on Michelle Bachman regarding Uma what’s-her-name who works for Hillary Clinton and whose mother is closely allied with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Republicans will be our biggest problem back to constitutional government.
Bingo. The GOP is going to be given little to no slack. They have to be made to realize, this is their last chance. No more RINO big government crap. It’s save the country or get the heck out of the way.
Sure.....and Roberts was the 5th vote to stop Obamacare. If Romney wins it will be by 2 or 3 percent. The demographics are shifting fast, and the folks on the other side of those demographics don’t buy what we are selling.
We need to start by brooming McCain and put him in charge of counting pencils.
No one saw the shift against Hillarycare and it came out of no where. thgis is no different.
1. Romney needs to pick a running mate who can connect with conservative voters. Doesn't have to be Palin, and in light of the 2008 results that may not be a great idea anyway.
2. Romney only needs to make this campaign about the last four years ... Obama's track record ... and nothing else. Unemployment figures, inflation, the looming financial collapse of various states and municipalities, mounting casualties in Afghanistan, etc.
More than anything else, Romney simply needs to lay low and make this campaign about Obama, not issues.
