ACA and Democrats In Big Trouble!
Apr 21, 2014 10:46:39 #
"Angry" Obamacare opponents are "more mobilized" for the 2014 midterm e******ns than the health care law's beneficiaries, according to a longtime adviser to President Obama.
David Axelrod, an Obama veteran who is now advising Britain's Labour Party, told the New York Times that Obamacare suffers from a public perception problem.
Obamacare is viewed "more as a social welfare program than a social insurance program," Axelrod said, "but that's not right because it is social insurance."
Axelrod's distinction is questionable given the massive Medicaid expansion within Obamacare, but he's right to identify the current political problem faced by his party. Core Obama constituencies, particularly young v**ers and minorities, tend to v**e at lower levels in midterm e******ns, yet those same people are expected to be among the major beneficiaries of the new healthcare law.
But the task of separating Obamacare's opponents from defenders is not always as simple as the difference between Republican and Democrat.
As the Washington Examiner's Byron York explained last week, there is really only one question that matters when it comes to the politics of Obamacare. "How many Americans are benefiting from the new health care system," York asked, "and how many are hurting?"
The answer to that question is likely to have a huge impact on November's e******ns.
The Democrat message is becoming more organized in that every single Democrat in front of a camera is very slyly implying that this e******n is all about r****m. V**e against the Democrats and you are r****t. A sad, pathetic, desperate strategy that hopefully will fail. David Axelrod just admitted that Obamacare is a socialist program. 47% of v**ers know they are incapable of living a self reliant and responsible life. They know they need a nanny sate to care for them. Every impossible promise offering a free lunch is bait enough for those poor souls to line up and v**e again for a bureaucrat to take care of them. The part that galls me the most is those making the promise happily blame good people for the problems of that 47%. R****m, sexism, and any other imaginative excuse is trotted out. The presence of KING PINOCCHIO in the White House isn't proof enough exposing the lie, when a free sandwich awaits.

Exceptionally fine post!! I couldn't agree more. But I don't think the r****m thing is going to work for them again. They've overplayed it and all it sounds like now is sour grapes and panic.

I would say it is more along the line of panic then anything else. They know they can't run on ACA, since that will k**l them fast, so they have to find another way. I think they are trying the race card, but finding out it is not working. They are desperate to find something that will give them a chance this time around, but so far have not found that magic spell.

Are you guys living in the same reality with the rest of us??
Every poll has the ACA becoming more popular. the CBO scored it to be FAR less costly then previously projected , overall costs are down , more people signed up than any projection. And to top it off not one republican replacement yet.

JJP: Just more pure 100% Liberal Bulls**t!!!! ACA is grossly unsustainable! Try a little Heritage Foundation number crunching! How many of these people due you think will be actually paying their premiums!

And they can't bring themselves to stoop to the one thing that might actually HELP them: honesty and humility.

I unlike yourself believe the CBO numbers. The very same CBO that republicans supported just months ago when their numbers were the opposite but now have been proven wrong.
Would that be the very same Heritage Foundation that first introduced the individual mandate??

Yes go ahead and keep proving my point. The majority does not agree with you so it must be a conspiracy. Just like the Florida v**es in the 2004 e******n.
As for debacle I guess you missed Reagan's Lebanon problem 234 soldiers died or maybe the invasion of Iraq.

We may be "i***ts" to you.
But as democracy works your so called "i***ts" have a v**e just like you. So while we do not find it necessary or constructive to name call we just disagree with your ideas.
And v**ed for the people's rights over corporations rights TWICE.
CORRECT??

WRONG but nice try. When you lack an argument call names or claim socialism. What is your definition of socialism??
