(p/s to admin) I did not find this during search, but if this is a duplicate, please pull it.
And as my former Newsweek colleague Geoffrey Cowley, one of the most astute health-care journalists in the country, points out, "polls consistently show that more Americans oppose the Affordable Care Act than support it--not because they've evaluated and rejected it but because they don't understand it."
Yeah, tell people they're stupid bumpkins who can't understand.
Great selling point!
Go ahead and run with that.
Everytime they fail to sell a box of crap to the public, they blame the box.
The mess has been handed to Congress (and November voters) for solution.
no, I can’t believe it! (sarcasm)
We were told that we have to pass the bill to see what’s in it.
And we were told that when people learn what is actually in Obamacare, that then they approve of it.
So once they win this “messaging” war, then people will approve of Obamacare, right? The reason Obamacare is down in the polls is because people still don’t know what’s in the bill, right???? (more sarcasm)
Do not question why it is, that the liberals are still trying to educate us about how wonderful Obamacare is two years after it passed. The president has said we can’t re-fight the battles of the past and all that. We are to be silent! The court has spoken. The president says we need to move on! We mere peons are not to question the wisdom of Emperor Obamus the First!!!
They're fumbling it.
They're frothing at the mouth over something which won't affect most people. Near everyone has some form of healthcare insurance, which will be tweaked a little to match the new law. Vanishingly few people will in fact be subjected to actual payment of the fine; those who are may in fact be happy about it because paying it is the cost of a new system where they don't have to pay far more until they need it (a la "I've got heart surgery scheduled in 10 days...maybe I should get some insurance now.") As far as "undecided" voters go, NOBODY CARES.
This frothing is taking the spotlight off the big real issue of "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID". The "undecideds" will be more swayed by discussions of 10% unemployment and soaring inflation, not by rantings about gov't regulations they like and which some 0.01% of them will be negatively affected by.
(Don't get me wrong. Roberts' ruling is a BFD which may doom this nation. It will, however, have little effect on the election at hand which is the point of this thread.)
The Obama Administration mssage is that the tax only applies to freeloaders which is a complete lie. I have yet to hear any Republican point out that the biggest class of freeloaders, illegal aliens, are exempt from the mandate tax provision.
Libs are pushing hard to try and exterminate the Obamacare label. Don't let them succeed. Just answer, "What the Hell is the ACA?"
Obamacare is a rape of the American people.
The American people will shout out every time this program rapes them again for the next hundred years
To believe that we will just continue to be screwed over and over again and keep quiet about it is insane.
They shoved this bill up our butts and every time the Secretary makes a new ruling it is a new rape.
We are not going to quiet down.
One thing that has to be done is make the average voter aware the gaggle of new IRS AGENTS ( gestapo in training ) being hired
I am sure they will be thrilled to death with that
If the GOP or more preferably the PACS ,since I doubt the GOP has enough brains to do it, would take out ads on TV and the news papers showing this to be the case it would have cause a huge backlash
That was the theme on ABC Radio News yesterday.
