RE :’Republicans focused on winning back the Senate have a clear goal this year: convincing voters that vulnerable Democrats are liars”

Good, Dems have done this effectively to Republicans time after time.

wow, what a weasel-y writer. If asked, I’d say the law needed improvement. And if asked, I’d say get rid of it. This is classic, “polls say what progressives want them to say.”

That's pretty easy because they are.

Let us not forget these "Republican" Senators who voted with Harry Reid to invoke cloture on funding ObamaCare. Without thier help ObamaCare would not be up and running.

Sow distrust?

The clueless Obamadork and his felon minions defined the word.

It is to the great shame of our education system that folks such as the dork...and you MSM idiots...are allowed to do more than pump gas and wipe dog butts.

CW-II is coming...and I sincerely hope that all have your addresses.

See how they do this?

Democrats lie, cheat, and steal and the corrupt MSM is silent, because “they mean well”. Bill O’Reilly says of Obama, “His heart is in the right place.” And that makes everything good.

Now, when Republicans call out Democrats on their record the corrupt MSM writes an article, like this one, slamming Republicans in a backhanded way by sliming them as being dirty politicians simply trying to take partisan advantage of Democrats who mean well and just had to lie to you to get Obamacare.

Democrats never operate from dirty political motives, Republicans, calling out Democrats, are doing so only for naked partisan reasons.

Hmmmmmmm.......perhaps Pubbies should leave the heavy-lifting WRT Obamacare to the social media....and depict themselves as positive pols out for the good of the US?

I do not trust Boobamba as far as I can throw him----that sap-happy look on his face during the interview w/ O'Reilly.......means he knows something we don't know. Boobamba had that same look in 2012 when he put Romney through the Democrat voter fraud meat grinder.

All the Dem fraudster finagling was done in 2012 swing states.....and we still do not have significant voter ID in place to push back the armies of phony Dem voters they will mobilize.

To: All
Democrats have been touting their own frustration WRT the botched ObamaCare rollout — Sen Landrieu (Dim-LA) ran an ad featuring her "anger" at Obama for "breaking his promise" — she calculatedly pivots to attacks on the GOP over healthcare.

In Landrieu, we bear witness to the offensive, twisted mind of a Democrat---- Landrieu proves why Dems should never, ever get even close to political power.

WHAT SHE WANTS VOTERS TO BELIEVE Landrieu aired a commercial showing her at numerous public settings last fall sternly telling Obama to "keep his promise to let people keep their current health plans if they want to" — w/ Landrieu taking credit----after Obama's failed attempt to make that happen.....

REALITY CHECK: Landrieu is caught on-tape, in the well of the Senate, parroting Obama's infamous lie, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." AND THIS: “If you like the insurance that you have, you’ll be able to keep it.” (Landrieu on MSNBC’s Hardball, 12/16/09)

Somebody better check Landrieu's self-serving commercial----prolly faked.

============================================

As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"

QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.” Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

==========================================================

THE LANDRIEU PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Landrieu sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.

FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet annother indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.

<><> Where's the $4.3 billion, Mary?

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---and the $4.3 Landrieu giveaway was attached to the Obamacare bill.

<><> Where's the money, Mary?

============================================

MEMO TO LOUISIANA VOTERS Sen Mary Landrieu not only (1) sold her vote; (2) she voted for throwing you off your health plans, (3) voted for nationalizing 1/16 of the US economy, Landrieu also (4) voted for IPAB's, and, for (5) decimating intergenerational transfers of wealth (grandma/pa's holdings go to the govt---not to you). Read on.

Ominous cogs in the Obamacare meat grinder----the inexorable forcing of Grandma/pa onto Medicaid--(like cattle herded single-file onto the narrow ramp---knowing the bolt is coming---but not able to do a thing about it).

Medicaid conveniently groups together the sick and elderly---as Obama's IPAB board of radical Boobamba worshippers sit in judgment. Boobamba's Orwellian-speak---the progressive way of saying "Obamacare keeps costs down."

The infamous "Death Panels---are alive and well----but they're not called death panels......for obvious reasons. The treacherous Obama euphemistically calls his death panel "I-PAB---- Individual Payment Advisory Board." I-PAB decides what to pay and who to pay---thus rationing medical care to sick oldsters. Obamacare "allows" states to expand their Medicaid recipients pool. Under Obamacare, Washington now covers about 1/2 the cost of Medicaid enrollees.

==================================================

What is I-PAB?

When you find out about IPAB, you will not believe it - but it’s r-e-a-l.... a new type of government agency. IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board) is the first agency of the “fifth branch” of govt.

1) It will make all important health care decisions by authorizing payment or not.
2) It is not funded by Congress and cannot have its budget reviewed or changed.
3) Its membership cannot be changed by future Presidents,
4) It cannot be repealed by Congress, except for a six month window in 2017.
5) Its decisions are not subject to judicial review.
6) It is not authorized by the Constitution, and is therefore immune to Constitutional processes.

==================================================

Why is Obamacre herding seniors WITH ASSETS onto Medicaid---a program structured for the poor? Can you say redistribution of wealth? Herding the elderly with assets into Medicaid has ominous consequences that are intriguing to the left. B/c assets, perhaps a home owned free and clear, securities, annuities, investment property, can be seized to pay for govt treatment.

Thus intergenerational transfers of wealth (a longtime progressive bugaboo)----are decimated (grandma/pa's holdings go to the govt---not to you).

REMINDER: Lock-stepping Sen Mary Landrieu (Dim-LA) voted for this.

“Privately, even Republicans admit that focusing too much on the law is a risk.”

Really? Why...? Because it was/is SO well received and SUCH a success?

Ain’t that the truth. The writer talks like Republicans pointing out that PRINCIPALS in ramming ObamaCare down our collective throats isn’t cricket according to Hoyle’s Rules of Order..

That tactic is the stock and trade of Democrats except that Democrats most always lie. In the case of Republicans (conservatives here), they are the truth.

I know there is no way in Cowboy Hell that I’d ever vote for Isakson, nor am I going to vote for anybody that Saxby endorses, the RNC endorses, or the GOP endorses as his replacement, period.

Correct.

In light of the fact that NO Republican voted for Obamacare, if these Democratic Party Senators were horn swaggled by Obama’s “If you like it, you can keep” lie [bought it hook line and sinker even while witnessing the ongoing battle and strong-arm tactics being employed to get the votes, the slime that brought us the “Cornhusker kickback,” the “Louisiana purchase” and the “Florida flim-flam”], the questions that must be raised are: Are they just too stupid to be representing the interests of their constituents? Or are they bought and paid for votes for the Lying Left? Or both?

Either way, they’re not trustworthy.

RUTHLESS OBAMA REELCTION TACTICS
Obama split 500,000 American families to legalize illegals before 2012 election
DAILY CALLER ^ | February 10 2014 | Neil Munro / FR Posted by MeshugeMikey

President Barack Obama’s 2012 unilateral legalization of 500,000 young illegal immigrants helped him win the 2012 election — at the cost of splitting 500,000 innocent, law-abiding American families for months on end, according to a New York Times article.

The ruthless political calculation was buried deep in the low-key article, which was published on page 20 of the local “New York edition” of the national newspaper.

Obama directed officials to award work-permits to the illegal immigrants, preventing them from preparing green cards for Americans’ foreign-born spouses and children. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
