Writing for The
New York Times, Ashley Parker hypothesizes, “As Democrats approach the
2014 midterm elections, they are grappling with an awkward reality: Their
president’s health care law—passed with no Republican votes—remains a political
liability in many states, threatening their ability to hold on to seats in the
Senate and the House.”
“The White House seems to
understand the political necessity of allowing congressional Democrats to
criticize the error-riddled rollout of the president’s health care law.”
“Many Democrats are reluctant to
let Mr. Obama campaign for them, in part because of his low approval ratings.”
“If Democrats are being forced to
spend resources in February attacking Obamacare, then this is a very grim
foreshadowing of what November will bring,” said Andrea Bozek, the
communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
One über liberal website proclaimed,
“Now if only Democrats had approved an actually good health care reform
proposal in the first place, they wouldn’t need to fall back on this pathetic
defense.”
House Majority PAC designed ads
in an effort to inoculate Democratic incumbents who parroted The World’s Most
Dangerous Community Organizer’s infamous pledge, “If you like your doctor you
can keep your doctor. Period. If you
like your healthcare plan you can keep your healthcare plan. Period.” The political action committee describes the
ads as a means to “combat smear campaigns orchestrated by conservatives”.
"The problem Democrats have
is larger than just the unpopularity of Obamacare, it's that voters no longer
trust Democratic politicians like (Louisiana Sen.) Mary Landrieu and (Alaska
Sen.) Mark Begich who have repeatedly been dishonest about the law," said Brad
Dayspring, strategist at the National Republican Senatorial Campaign. "These were all lies repeatedly told by (them) and voters can't trust them
to 'fix' the law."
These schlubs are inextricably tethered to
Obamacare and they would do well to remember the words of
George Washington who said, “It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.”
I smell fear and I like it. I like it a lot.
